It’s safe to say that This B*tch of an Earth got a makeover since the last episode. And I’m so excited to tell you about it.

Changes

The first and most notable change is that we’ve switched up our format. I say we because This B*tch of an Earth is now a team effort! Julia and I are your regular cohosts, and we’ll invite people on accordingly for special episodes. There are a few reasons for this change but the main one is the energy around recording. At its core, this is a podcast about positivity and gratefulness out of spite for all the other shit. Together, I feel that Julia and I embody that and can put in the work to pay it forward. That’s the goal: because being positive does next to nothing unless you’re using it to uplift others.

The second change: I want listeners to be more involved! Feel free to pass the show along to someone who might need some encouragement, some positivity, or who wants to share their frustrations and happiness with the rest of us. As we get submissions for Garbage Bins and Friggin’ Hoorays, we’ll read them at the close of the show. (You can email them to tboaepodcast@thelifecast.net!)

Finally: our format. To really drive home our whole M.O., we’ve separated the show into two parts: Garbage Bins and Friggin’ Hoorays. At the top of the show, we air out complaints and thank them for the lessons they’ve taught us while encouraging each other’s strengths. After our short break, we gush about two really awesome things that happened, and it can be anything. We’re thankful for these, too, because if there’s one thing we’re going to do, it’s deciding what makes us happy and holding on to that.

Going Forward

So! There you have it. The biweekly celebration of things that are incredibly rad will continue. Our Twitter will also reflect these changes! Your regular good morning motivation isn’t going anywhere but is going to be joined by uplifting things. Think puppies, kittens, and plants. Plus some advice about growing and bettering yourself. Because that’s the main message of the show. It’s the damnation of everything that doesn’t deserve your time, emotional energy, and mental power, and it’s the celebration of everything that does. But don’t let us tell you what makes you happy. We’ll share what does it for us, we’ll be grateful for it, and we’ll leave you on a positive note. Even if we started out frustrated in the beginning.

Peace Out
