Welcome to our first episode of season three and a special episode just before 4/20! We're here to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the classic movie, Dazed and Confused (directed by Richard Linklater) and to dig into the film's impact on North America's widespread cannabis use and media representation alongside Jenny Blaze of the podcast, Bravo & Blaze.

High Low Brow is back for Season 3 with a new co-host, River Gilbert. Listen to the first 30-minute intro episode, where they discuss trans rights, the futch scale, board games, and more. Join the fun and chaos in this chill episode, and stay tuned for our full-length season beginning on April 16th

Well, faithful listeners, it's that time again ⁠— the end of the season. You have been on such an incredible second-season journey with us. We brought on our brand new host Ameema! We tried out a new show format! We had on some of our fave guests (to date) and broke some of our listening records. And that was all thanks to you!

Media featuring cops has been a staple of North American film and television culture. Heck, who didn't grow up watching Law and Order on A&E? However, during the George Floyd protests, copaganda was identified as a widespread tactic of the police and media. For this week's episode, we have invited Reina Sultan, a Lebanese-American Muslim freelance journalist and one of the co-creator of 8 to Abolition to chat about what the hell is copaganda and how we can be more critical of the media we consume.

Throughout the pandemic, many people used memes to cope with the world's heaviness, as they're an undeniably fun way to express one's emotions and feelings. But they are also a great way to connect with others in so many things, including pop culture, reactions, and the news. ✨So for this week's episode, we decided to sit down and dig into memes as a love language and we invited Thea D'souza from the wildly popular Instagram account @YourMomsAreWatching to chat with us. Her account uses a mixture of humorous memes, serious analysis, and personal stories to analyze the Bravoverse, so tune in!
