Latest episodes drop every Thursday, starting today––October 13, 2022––through December 15, 2022. The season will feature stories of cheating, love, reproductive rights, and latest experiences. Turner and French tackle the ups and downs of their very own lives while roping of their peers and notable guests for candid conversations on taboo subjects, full of life storytelling, and unfiltered advice on a spread of subjects, including:
- Why can we cheat? We don’t hear stories of individuals cheating–-in school, contests, or relationships–fairly often. So, Turner and French get into it, stigma and all. This episode unpacks expectations of perfection in hopes of getting at the center of a really human behavior.
- How do you follow your dreams? While you’re young, decision-making can feel incredibly high stakes, especially around your profession. What in case you pick the improper job, and also you’re feeling stuck? On this episode, we bust some life-path myths through conversations with individuals who have sharply pivoted from the norm to follow their dreams.
- How do you navigate interracial relationships? Turner, French, and special guests discuss the experiences they’ve had as people of color within the dating world–-the good, the bad, and the ugly.
- Am I Black enough? Does any Black person ever feel like they’re “Black enough” at any time limit? Perfectly executing the mixture of holding down their community, performing Blackness, code switching, and more? We get into it.
“After I began in podcasting, ‘The Read,’ ‘The Stoop,’ and ‘The Nod’ were shows I actually looked as much as with Black voices on the forefront,” said Turner. “And now with Dom joining Adult ISH as co-host, I’m excited for the people and shows that we are able to encourage.”
”Attending to do that show with Nyge is a dream come true,” said French. “The sense of community, play, and homeyship is unparalleled and long-awaited. I believe people can have as much fun and get as much support out of it as we do.”
“ Adult ISH is beyond a podcast, it’s an influential force,” said Kyra Kyles, CEO, YR Media. “We’re enthusiastic about our latest co-hosting line-up and the provocative topics they’ll explore together.”
Adult ISH is on the market totally free across all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, TuneIn, Overcast, and Amazon Music.
