  • Getting Fired, the Lobotomobile, and Lucia Joyce
    Dec 1 2025

    In this episode Bliss goes back in time to when she got fired from her office job in England and spent her days eating Honey Cheerio’s, watching Storage Wars, and finding out all she could about worms and lobotomies.

    Here she followed the worm hole down into the history of lobotomobiles, mental asylums, Rosemary Kennedy, Lucia Joyce, and the eagerness shown to silence and hide women who don’t or can’t obey the societal expectations held against them.

    This, in tandem with the modern struggles of being ignorantly educated thanks to sneaky methods of discrimination, erasure and bias algorithms- especially in the search for honest historical documents and current global crises updates.

  • House of Prayer, Profits & Propaganda
    Nov 3 2025

    Join Bliss on an existential journey through her religious childhood marked with memories of Irish Catholic scams, scandals, and sacrilegious curiosity.


    Hold her contaminated holy water bottle as she guides you through the House of Prayer for Profits, 'Ghost' Writers who talk to God, saints who fought the devil (and won), and Priests driving brand new BMWs.


    Also, how finding silliness in creativity helped her take the seriousness out of life once she realised 'oh, you're not really going to burn in hell for eternity', and other emotionally manipulative marketing tactics.
