Iconic or IronicFurby vs. RobodogWhat would an episode of IoI be without 13+ mentions of TS? And yes, it is quite the time for annoying people as Matty Healy has now entered the chat. We love random years in the late 20th century prior to our existence. Cara guides you to your perfect summer romance read (as told by the stars, of course). And we discuss another queen—Miss Destany Hope (iykyk). If you comment what Taylor tat Bailey should get, maybe you'll hear from us in less than 6 weeks. Wouldn't that be iconic?2023-05-2340 min

Iconic or IronicSwiftiesDisclaimer: Blame Bailey if this content seems 1.5 weeks old (because it is). You're of course a fellow Swiftie if you listen to this, so it comes as no surprise that we're doing a deep dive into Midnights (if this is the content we can get from a mere announcement just wait till the actual album drops). We talk about our boy Timmy Tim, Barbies vs. Bratz (were you also afraid that Bratz would bully you? Nope, just me?), and the origin for both of our long outgrown superiority complexes: 500 Days of Summer. Oh yeah, and we make fun of Leo (D...2022-09-131h 12

We also share our thoughts on some not-so-new trends that Bailey is just getting ahold of, including but not limited to avocado toast and Duolingo—the cons of being a cusper (Zillennial, not astrology sign—though she could be that too). We...2022-08-151h 06
Iconic or IronicShe's a 10. But She Has a PodcastThe listeners spoke, and we’re back 2 weeks early :) because we know you need the content :)) In episode 4, we talk the friends to lovers trope of the youth (aka the love lives we didn’t have in high school—can you tell??). We talk hats. Both bucket and of the crazy funky junky variety. We talk the summery chapter book series of our childhoods. And it wouldn’t be an episode of Iconic or Ironic if we didn’t at least briefly talk Jack and Taylor (if you don’t know who we’re referring to, go back to ep 1, you amateur...2022-07-0849 min
