By Arm Bridge Podcast

A show in which two teenage girls (Sanika and Chelsea) cover advice, life, social issues, and the perils of existence. Follow us as we explore questions and topics submitted by our friends and peers, veer off on caffeine-fueled tangents, and speak from our experiences. Who knows what we'll talk about? We're not even sure.

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
After moving in to our respective college living spaces, we're back! In this episode we delve into our new favorite album, the changing weather, and jarring changes in our lives as university students. Oddly enough, we end up going back to our roots to answer a few unexpectedly Deep questions. | Our ~album~ of the week is "DARKROOM : roommates only" by Simon Dominic.

Ep. 43 | Retaking the MBTI Test Because the One Thing We’re Certain of Is That We Overthink

Ep. 43 | Retaking the MBTI Test Because the One Thing We’re Certain of Is That We Overthink

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
Hello hello! It's been a minute. We've been very busy being employed women ready to take on the world, but we are back with another podcast episode where we retake the MBTI test! If you would like, feel free to pull up the test on your own, and join us as we ~discover more about ourselves~ As you may have noticed, we decided to upload full episodes only on audio platforms. Since many of y'all requested shorter videos, we decided to put only portions of the full episode on YouTube, and then upload the full episodes on audio platforms; that way, you can choose based on your own preferences. **DISCLAIMER: before someone in the comments says something about how these tests are inaccurate, are not all-encompassing, etc., etc., I'll go ahead and beat you to it. For us, this is just a fun way to get to know some aspects of our personalities a bit better, and it's also cool to see how others' ideas and beliefs differ. It's a fun time! | Our song of the week is "Woman" by Doja Cat. Stream it here: https://open.spotify.com/track/6Uj1ctrBOjOas8xZXGqKk4?si=2SADJkk0TQm03jeG-ilgyQ&utm_source=copy-link&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DX66m4icL86Ru&dl_branch=1 | Visit our website for updates, streaming platforms, and Spotify playlists: https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/ Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast and Twitter @armbridgepod | See you soon with another episode! :)

Ep. 42 | Driving But I Rationalize My Mental Health Instead

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
(Trigger warning: light discussions of mental health) After a month, I'm (Chelsea) back with a casual, ambient, and very chaotic podcast episode that I recorded when driving home from work. I also talk about being anxious, mildly embarrassing moments that I may have put out of proportion, and my favorite snack. | The song of the week is "riBBon" by BamBam. Stream it here: https://open.spotify.com/track/1Y8KxQUmP1xuaF5mNTYE0x?si=ZuVGqsjyQmaF7dd6t9jC4g&utm_source=copy-link&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DX9tPFwDMOaN1&dl_branch=1 | Visit our website for updates, streaming platforms, and Spotify playlists: https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/ | Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast and Twitter @armbridgepod | See you soon with another episode! :)

Bonus Ep. 5 | I Can('t?) Drive

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
Before we approach the end of season two AND the one year anniversary of the podcast, I decided to record a quick bonus episode where I answer a few random questions. I go on caffeine-fueled tangents about why a block schedule is superior to the seven-classes-a-day model, my clothing choices, and why I can't gauge whether or not I'm a decent driver. | The song of the week is "LASER" by lIlBOI and Wonstein.

Episode 38 | Questions... With Friends

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
So Chelsea and I recorded an actual episode and while the premise was good, the execution was so astronomically terrible we could not bring ourselves to publish the episode. We decided to still upload the Deep Questions with Friends portion while we edit next week's episode, which we (in contrast to this episode) are pretty excited about.

Recently one of Texas's House Representatives filed a bill, HCR 66, that condemns racism against the AAPI community. In light of the recent attacks against Asian Americans, Chelsea and I urge those of you in Texas to call or email your House Representative and ask them to sign onto this bill as a co-author. For those outside Texas, see if there are similar bills in your state that you can do the same for, and if not, advocate for the creation of one. And for everyone outside the US, please continue spreading awareness about the issue.

Ep. 37 | Geoguessr Destroyed My Ninth Grade Geography Skills

Ep. 37 | Geoguessr Destroyed My Ninth Grade Geography Skills

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
(There is a trigger warning at 40:44 because I talk about getting cut by glass on accident and bleeding a little bit. If that might make you feel uncomfortable/uneasy, you can skip to 43:06.) After getting my electricity back after a few days, I decided to play a spontaneous game of Geoguessr before studying for my impending economics midterm. My ninth grade geography skills take me around the globe from Japan to Canada (twice). Along the way I take a few detours to talk about my mysterious uncle, Love Island, and how "Into the Spider-Verse" is the best teen film ever. | During this time, there are still many homes affected by the power outages that resulted from winter chills across Texas. I have attached a few helpful resources below: Warming centers: https://www.chron.com/weather/article/warming-shelters-open-houston-freeze-15957853.php, Where you can donate: https://time.com/5940857/how-to-help-texas-power-outages/, In memory of Olivia, Edison, and Collette: https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-olivia-edison-and-colette, Free food/water: https://abc13.com/free-water-and-food-distribution-continues-across-the-houston-area/10353580/ | The song of the week is "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac.

Ep. 36 | Arm Bridge's Valentine is an ISFP

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
Today is Valentine's Day, so we decided to talk about love, relationships, and a lack thereof. We answer questions such as "What is your ideal type?" and converse about internalizing compliments to the point of confusion. In the Deep Questions segment, we air a few grievances about teen media and the disrespect we see in others. | The song of the week is "Nobody" by Mitski.

Ep. 8 | Is Time Real? Or Am I Just Craving Boba? (ft. Cerina and Jada)

This week, I (Chelsea) invited two of my oldest friends, Cerina and Jada, for a quick update into our lives in quarantine. We cover serious topics such as being a newcomer to BLM activism, whether or not we felt fulfilled in high school, and the chaos of whether or not we (or other beings???) are manipulating the time-space continuum. In one of our more serious, heartfelt episodes, we delve into the normalities surrounding staying at home, and the wishes we had for the future. | Since we briefly talked about BLM this week, please check out these resources:
blacklivesmatter.carrd.co and tinyurl.com/y8axdxje (I found this doc on Twitter, credit to original owner). Similarly, if you signed petitions with Change.org, check the emails they send you! At the bottom there are similar petitions, and I've found a lot that I hadn't signed before. Also, make sure to donate to BLM charities, bail funds, or support black-owned businesses! DO NOT donate to Change.org. | Stream Arm Bridge through other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast | Follow us on Instagram: @armbridgepodcast | See you next Tuesday with a very special episode!

Ep. 3 | Fulfillment and Failed ASMR

This week we decided to discuss the idea of fulfillment. And of course, who could better tackle this subject than two very lost and very under-qualified teenagers? We featured our very first special guest, one of my (Sanika’s) close friends. Join us as we drift deeper into an existential crisis by contemplating mortality, deciding what our ideal life looks like, discussing what makes a person happy, and more.
