How Were U Brainwashed? is a podcast hosted by your new best friends, Nicole Spiezio and Jenny Donheiser, that asks guests just that. What did you grow up thinking was true that you now know is just full brainwashing, babe? How did you unpack that bullshit and come out the other side? From religion to Jersey Shore, from Monogamy to Pepé Le Pew, the pod tackles women stuff, fat/body stuff (Nicole is fat! Trendy!!!), mental health stuff (you know your girls are in therapy), and a fair share of lowbrow pop culture (hiiiiii Real Housewives). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
