Episode 1 — Happy Galentine’s Day
Welcome to the very first episode of We Swear We Had a Point! We’re dropping you right into the heart of what we (and, by extension this podcast) is all about: long‑distance best‑friendship, joyful chaos, and the kind of hype‑woman energy that makes you feel instantly at home.
Fittingly, the debut is a Galentine’s Day celebration—because what better way to launch a show rooted in female friendship than on the holiday the Patron Saint of Female Friendship: Leslie Knope herself would insist upon.
About We Swear We Had a Point
We (oh, hi. We’re Amber Walcker and Casie Shimansky) kick things off by introducing who we are—just like we did here, but with more details—and set the tone for this pod, which (as we’re sure so many great pods do) started as a joke.
Tl;dr: It’s two cross-country best friends catching up, spiraling into tangents, and somehow always finding our way back to the point… eventually. 🤷🏼♀️
Expect weekly episodes (20–30 minutes, dropping every Friday Eve) filled with new segments, stories, and the kind of delightful detours that only happen when your brain jumps tracks mid‑sentence. Like our lives, it’s structured chaos, and we’re pretty proud of it. 🤣
Getting it Together
The first full segment dives into our origin story and how two women on opposite sides of the country became inseparable.
We revisit the early days of our friendship, the moments that cemented our bond, and the running jokes that still show up years later.
We also reflect on what Galentine’s Day means to us and share a few favorite memories (including a couple of the cross‑country gifts we’ve exchanged over the years).
The Pod You Didn’t Know You Needed
Does the world need another podcast? Probably not. But in 2026, do you need a couple of new best friends who bring their authentic, ridiculous selves to the table hoping to leave you laughing and smiling a little bit more than you were before? Sure. We could all use that these days. 💜
