Adult ISH is back
Adult ISH, the award-winning advice, culture, and storytelling podcast, is back. As part of an all-new season starting today, Dominique “Dom” French joins Nyge Turner as co-host. French is based in Atlanta and a proud Black/femme/disabled artist with a background in theater and music. BIPOC creators in their 20s, together, French and Turner bring honesty, humor, and humility to the show–now in its eighth season–as they dissect the adulting journey without sugarcoating. Adult ISH is produced by YR Media and brought to audiences in partnership with the Radiotopia podcast network from PRX.
New episodes drop every Thursday through December 15, 2022. The season will feature stories of cheating, love, reproductive rights, and new experiences. Turner and French tackle the ups and downs of their own lives while roping in their peers and notable guests for candid conversations on taboo subjects, lively storytelling, and unfiltered advice on a range of subjects, including:
Why do we cheat? We don’t hear stories of people cheating–-in school, contests, or relationships–very often. So, Turner and French get into it, stigma and all. This episode unpacks expectations of perfection in hopes of getting at the heart of a very human behavior.
How do you follow your dreams? When you’re young, decision-making can feel incredibly high stakes, especially around your career. What if you pick the wrong job, and you’re feeling stuck? In this episode, we bust some life-path myths through conversations with people 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 in the dating world–-the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Am I Black enough? Does any Black person ever feel like they are “Black enough” at any point in time? Perfectly executing the mixture of holding down their community, performing Blackness, code switching, and more?
Adult ISH is available for free across all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, TuneIn, Overcast, and Amazon Music.
