The Show Must Go On

Abby and Maggie hop on again for the second pod episode of 2025 that Abby, once again, forgot about. Trying to experiment with new cover art for fun! (Photographs used in cover art are not my own, sourced from Pinterest. All credit to the original creator)

Abby And Maggie hopped on the pod in June of last year then Abby forgot she had a podcast. HELLO REBRAND!

On this episode, Daniella, Abby, and their first time podcaster friend, Claudia, join forces after trauma dumping over a candy salad to talk about a lot of odd stuff. We dabble in hating AI, the OG vampire flick, Daniella takes a phone call from Claudia's ex, painful ASMR of the hosts eating gummy candy, the works. This episode is best enjoyed after several days of no sleep, while wearing a black cloak and sitting in the dark. Enjoy!

In this episode, Abby and Daniella return to the Northwestern Lake-Fill to record a podcast, one year after they recorded The Breakup Episode in the same place. Like its predecessor, this episode is calming and emo while also being pissed off and riled up— so if you have adhd and are not sure who you're mad at I imagine you'll enjoy this episode.

In this episode, Maggie makes her long-awaited return to the Abby-verse and comes with fabulous tales of her time studying abroad in Luxembourg this past semester. The gals discuss their abroad experiences at the same program during their year apart (Abby was in Luxembourg in the fall and Maggie in the Spring while the other was at Miami). Eventually they just start talking about hometown B.S. that still pisses them off, and rightfully so (we do this every time we hang out). This episode is best enjoyed on the couch of your childhood home with a glass of $10 sauv blanc.

Some major goss spilling and name dropping shall take place. On this episode, Passing Judgement alum, Alea, and first time podcaster, Julia, hop on as a best friend duo to discuss what's been happening in the messy lives of three college juniors. This episode is ideally experienced with a nice cold cocktail and best followed by plans with your gal pals. Enjoy!

In this little mini episode, Abby and first time podcaster and general icon, Elizabeth Traver, take you through the beginning of two nights out where we got side tracked and ended up getting really hammered and spilling some info that (believe it or not) is unfit for me to stare on the pod at this given moment. Fear not! El shall return next season for a fabulous full episode but enjoy this bonus mini episode until then kitties :)

In this episode, Abby and her little, Kiara, catch up on life while preparing for sorority recruitment. For Kiara's first episode we thought a little topic charcuterie would appeal to the masses. Alert the media!

For this episode, Abby hustled down to

To kick off season 3 Abby and first time podcaster Caitlyn hop on the pod from the parking lot of the famous Chicago hotdog spot, Gene and Jude's. After feasting, your hosts for this episode discuss returning to Miami University for the spring semester, New Year's resolutions, and how they plan to enter 2024. Sit back, grab a glizzy, and enjoy!

Daniella picked me up from a family party on new years day and I (Abby) was absolutely hammered. In this episode we recapped New Years Eve and some other holiday happenings. Most importantly, Daniella and I watched Saltburn and return at the end of the episode for a review of the movie which can be summarized with this episode's title: "God forbid a bisexual has hobbies".

In this episode, Abby and Daniella reunite over some Panda Express and discuss the people and things that have been bothering them (what's new?). While Abby was abroad, Daniella visited friends at the University of Illinois and encountered some hijinks that have really pissed these ladies off. Time to discuss.

In this episode, Abby and podcast newcomer, Ella Melcher discuss their study abroad experience in the Detroit airport after flying from Amsterdam. While they wait on a 4 hour layover before their flight home to Chicago, Abby and Ella decided to hop on the pod after devouring some fast food.

So Abby completely messed up the recordings and accidentally recorded this episode in two parts.

BIG DAY FOR HOT PEOPLE!! Abby, Grace, and Skippy are reunited for the week in Dublin, Ireland for Thanksgiving. They will be recapping on the pod for the entire week. REUINION!!

Abby and Scout are reunited again in Paris for the weekend. Prepare for a saga of ramblings, strange behaviors, and healing your inner child as Scout recount's their relationship drama and what it's been like to live in Paris.

I completely forgot I recorded this but I went to London by myself for five days and it completely changed my life. Here's the pod I made after my experience and an update on my life. Much love, Abby

ATTENTION HOT PEOPLE! If you are in a flop there is nothing to fear!! Abby comes in to discuss her recent flop era and deliver a heavy stream of updates. As the weather gets colder and gloomier, it can be easy to get into a flop. For your listening pleasure listen to Abby complain about her life! Yay! You're Welcome!

Join me for a quick mindless chat while I rot in bed. To be honest, I didn't think I was going to upload this but then I remembered existence is temporary but radio is forever. Quality not assured. XO, Abby

After 2 years apart, Abby travels to Amsterdam with childhood friend Scout. Scout is a music student who just moved to Paris and is writing a book on French New Wave Actress and visionary, Anna Karina. Not only was this Scout's first podcast, but also their first experience with clubbing, staying in a hostel, and being in Amsterdam. To be honest, we were pretty exhausted when we recorded so we're a little all over, but tune in for some easy listening.

In this long awaited episode, Abby returns solo from Luxembourg with a life update and thoughtful discussion on what she's learned this summer. The Barbie movie provoked a lot of interesting discussion on modern feminism which is addressed because it makes Abby feel emotional. In case you're wondering she absolutely loved the Barbie movie. Abby also discusses what she's learned about being wronged, confronting people, and when to walk away from a friendship. This episode is a little more mellow than others, but we're looking to improve the episode quality here (it's time). We recommend you enjoy this episode with a piece of chocolate and a buttered baguette.

In this episode Abby and Daniella look over Lake Michigan to discuss breakups, or in this case Daniella's recent breakup. Take a listen and get out all those post-breakup frustrations.

For this episode, Abby hops on solo to discuss college movies, hangover cures, what she's learned this year, and learning from the past. This episode was created solely because Abby has a broken phone screen and is consumed by boredom in her room while procrastinating studying for her finals. She's done with Oxford and ready for summer. Apologies ahead of time for several "umm"s and "uhh"s, its hard doing a solo ep with nobody to fill the space but hopefully this will be good practice.

Daniella is back on the pod to share her strategy for getting over someone (regardless of if you even dated them): gaslighting yourself. Along with other topics of conversation, Daniella and Abby delve into a tell-all special of the horrors of their high school theatre department.

It's spring break and we're coming at you from.... suburban Chicago. Long awaited guest and Abby's hometown friend, Eden, is hopping on the pod today to discuss the nostalgia of growing up, learning from your past, and reflecting on fucked up experiences with bullying. This episode is going to get a little emo so here's your warning now. All in all, Abby and Eden had a really good time rehashing their pasts for the one day they are in town at the same time. Enjoy the episode!

Grace and Abby are back again starting with a heavy topic of "nice guys" and women being bullied on the internet as a slight rant (but we tried our best to keep it productive). **Trigger warning for talking about bodies, weight, assault, and stalking** We were inspired to talk about this due to a post we saw today and thought it would be an important thing to recognize because it really bothered us. Other than that conversation we talked about Drake, the Pillsbury Dough Boy, and traditional feminine experiences. We hope you enjoyed this episode and know that you are never alone and we love and appreciate every one of you!!!

Abby and first time podcaster Ryan hop on the pod while enjoying some cocktails on the Church Street Social patio. As the first Saturday back from dry period, the vibes are high and we hope that translates to the pod. Ryan and Abby speak on pelotons, parents, and a whole lot more in this topic charcuterie. Lots of meat and cheese action to bite on for you all. Hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording. (Note: Ryan drank 2 whole bottles of Prosecco by himself while recording this pod)

In this episode Abby and Grace return to the pod after a lengthy recruitment season. They talk about rush thoughts, the college experience, and close with a surprise interview with sorority sister Alea about her past experiences on the Miami University tradition that is Green Beer Day. We're excited to be back for a great season two!

For the last episode of the hometown series Abby hops on with Kasia and Mary to discuss bad customers from their experiences working in the food industry along with other fare. Enjoy and happy season 2!

COLLAB ALERT!! Abby and Grace are united again on the pod joined by their friend Pearl! Pearl and Grace visited Abby from Bluffton, OH to Chicago, IL and had a big tour of the city. On this episode Grace, Abby, and Pearl talk about knowing your worth and looking forward to their next semester at school. Pearl holds Passing Judgement's title as #1 fan and finally recorded her first pod episode so this episode has a special role as the last episode of season 1. Thanks to everyone who helped to fulfill an amazing first season of the pod in 2022 and here's to season 2 coming in 2023!

It is only fitting that the longest Passing Judgement episode is Kasia's first guest appearance. As a part of the pod's winter hometown interview series, Abby's hometown friend Kasia speaks on a lot of different topics including how the two became friends and over-editing your instagram photos. This episode spans over an hour so make sure to grab a snack and get comfy.

Now that winter break from college has begun, Abby is struggling to maintain her sanity. This episode features Abby's fabulous hometown chum, Daniella, to share some insights on their past experiences together. They discuss traumatic high school theatre conundrums, Daniella's experiences with ex-boyfriends, and some other points of interest. Tune in to get to know Daniella and her thoughts.

Abby and Grace discuss some different topics they've been dwelling on like victimless crimes, what's cheugy, and how to get revenge, along with some others. Some topic charcuterie for your consideration. This is our last episode for the semester so thank you to all who have listened and we will be back as a duo at the start of next semester! Stay tuned for occasional pods over break :)

This was a totally impromptu episode with the KD sisters in the common room during our residence hall craft night. Abby was walking by and after getting a huge ego boost from the girls discussing her podcast decided to do a multiple guest special episode. Sit back and enjoy (maybe use the bathroom first its a long one) this silly and stinky tenth episode!!

This week Abby and Grace are blessing your eardrums with their stellar personalities and heavenly voices. In this episode: Ins and Outs are back! They talk about names, complaining about college men (as always), the Music for a Sushi Restaurant music video, among other topics. Make mom proud and don't fall in!

Abby and Grace some stupid shit idk. We talked about icebreaker songs at the school dance, then go into an uncomfortably specific would you rather session, then talk about their top 3 kinds of potato and what they would eat at Sunday dinner back home. For your easy listening pleasure tune in, turn on, and drop out.

In this episode, Abby and Grace quickly recap their unprofessional and unsolicited account of Don't Worry Darling. They then go into an elaborate recap of Halloween at Miami University: listing thier favorite costumes, costumes they want to see, and what they were themselves. They also talk some other stuff. Enjoy yay!

Abby and Grace went to go see the new movie Don't Worry Darling and decided to record during their far drive to the theater. In this episode they discuss Harry Styles, rap music, movie anticipations, among other things. Don't forget to rate us on Spotify and send suggestions for what you want to hear next!

Abby and Grace took that Harry Potter quiz to mixed results. This whole episode is just one big tangent beginning from Abby's first in for the week. Be prepared for a whole lot of complaining, a big chunk of which is about men.

After a brief hiatus from the podcasting world to focus on their college era, Grace and Abby have returned to the airwaves. We just talked about a ton of random stuff idk.

Abby and Grace, actually just Abby, deleted like the entire episode they filmed and had to reshoot. However this episode is a fun, flowing, freestyle entity (a topic charcuterie if you will) that follows the candy land board of Abby and Grace's natural conversation. Make sure you rate us, send suggestions, and follow on Spotify so you can see our new episodes!!

Grace and Abby begin the episode with their current ins and outs, as one does. Later, they go into a long discussion about the Elvis Movie which Abby had just watched and Grace had watched with her for the sixth time - tangents NOT excluded.
