Francesca Fiorentini

We've known Francesca from the stand-up scene for many years now, but we didn't know her like *this*! And of course, *you* know Francesca from her time at Al Jazeera, her YouTube show The Bitchuation Room or perhaps from her show on Zeteo with Wajahat Ali, America Unhinged. But even if this is your first time meeting Francesca, strap in! We come out of the gate hot and ask why she wanted to have children. Then we get the tale of how she met and divorced her ex-husband, how she met her second husband and so much more, including learning about Grimace and Morning DJ Howard Zinn! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!


We're in culture critic and Vulture writer Sean Malin's new book The Podcast Pantheon: 101 Podcasts That Changed How We Listen!


ALSO BUY A SUPER CUTE "Open Your Hearts, Loosen Your Butts" mug! And:
