ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Open Tabs is a podcast about whatever I can’t stop thinking about that week. Sometimes it’s pop culture. Sometimes it’s politics. Sometimes it’s a book, a movie, a personal story, or a random spiral that refuses to close. There’s no niche — just curiosity, commentary, and thoughts that deserve a microphone.

LATEST EPISODE 🔗
I’ve been reading fanfiction since middle school. I’ve read it on FanFiction.net, Tumblr, Wattpad (we don’t like Wattpad), and eventually found my home on Archive of Our Own. I have thousands of bookmarks, a ridiculous number of fandoms, and apparently a very serious emotional dependence on being a…

This week on Open Tabs, we’re talking about the final season of The Boys—and yes, this is a full-spoiler review, so if you haven’t finished the season yet, stop listening now. I’m about to ruin everything.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Open Tabs! 👻
It’s officially spooky season, and this week on Open Tabs, I’m opening some very haunted tabs.
We’re starting with my absolute favorite holiday: Halloween—and my increasingly elaborate tradition of dressing up for basically all of October. Then things take a turn…
In the fall of 2018, I packed up my stuff and headed to D.C. for an internship, and somehow it became one of the most memorable experiences of my college years. I worked in political media, rode the Metro for what felt like my entire existence, explored museums, went to protests, found funnel cake,…
What responsibility comes with having a platform?
That’s the question I keep coming back to when I look at celebrities and the way they respond—or don’t respond—to everything happening in the world right now.
In this episode of Open Tabs, I’m talking about celebrities, political silence, Gaza, Pale…
Why do you hate Taylor Swift so much?
That’s the question I keep coming back to. You don’t have to like her music. You don’t have to listen to her albums. You don’t even have to understand why the rest of us like her. But why does simply being a Taylor Swift fan seem to make people so angry?
In thi…
What about their future?
That’s the question that keeps coming up whenever men are held accountable for sexual assault—and honestly? I’m more concerned about hers.
In this episode of Open Tabs, I’m talking about the Cornell sexual assault case, victim blaming, “boy moms,” frat culture, and the exha…
A vase fell on my face. That's it. That's the episode.
Okay, not quite. There was a broken nose, two black eyes, shattered glass, a miraculous pair of surviving glasses, and me complaining about the absolute idiot who left a giant vase precariously balanced on top of the fridge.
In this m…
In this episode of Open Tabs, I talk about my other favorite blonde cheerleader...I am, of course, talking about Buffy Summers, the Slayer. I think Claire Bennett and Buffy Summers would become fast friends and bitch about how they're always saving the world and how useless the adults around t…
It’s been more than a decade since I really watched Heroes, so naturally I decided it was time to go back to where it all began: save the cheerleader, save the world.
And y’all…I have THOUGHTS.
In this episode of Open Tabs, we’re talking about why Peter Petrelli is still one of my favorite characte…
