Lindsey + Connor are a very hot couple with lots of hair and lots to say. Every other Wednesday, they take turns diving into hidden gems and Internet rabbit holes in a podcast called "I Promise This Is Interesting". And every once in awhile, they post another show called "Girlfriend Explains", where Lindsey does her very best to explain Internet chaos and cultural phenomena to Connor.

It's pretty cozy under this little mushroom, so we hope you'll stick around and spend some time with us.🍄🐇✨

    Jason Arday: Plagiarism, Power, and Prejudice

    *This video was recorded before Jason Arday's untimely death in early August 2026. We have decided to keep this video up, as we feel the conversation surrounding academia, identity, and imposter syndrome is important, even pressing. There is a pinned comment with resources for you, should you need them. Take care.* A star professor of sociology just resigned from his prestigious position at Cambridge University following accusations of plagiarism and fraud. Naturally, some people are taking this in a *really weird and disgusting* direction, but those creeps are missing the point.We want to talk about imposter syndrome, the failures of academia, and the uniquely human tendency to fake it until we make it.

    What if you *don't* live at the center of the universe?

    Some NYC roommate drama has been ramping up on TikTok, and it got us thinking: Is it possible to be a full-time working artist in a major city without losing sight of the Point? Do we all need to live in New York -- or Los Angeles -- to matter? And what might happen if we didn't?

    The Salt Path Scandal | GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS

    Hippocrates said that a walk is "man's best medicine". When her husband of 30+ years is diagnosed with a rare degenerative condition, Raynor Winn took that sentiment literally, and the couple embarked on the 630-mile tread across the southwest coast of the United Kingdom. The book was initially met with fervor, love, and admiration, but as more details about the author's pockmarked past came to light, the narrative began to shift. Can a long walk really cure any ailment? What role does the truth play in publishing and in memoir? Who is Raynor Winn, and what exactly is she walking away from? 🧁 GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS 🧁 We'll see you next time :) WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE?☕️ https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbits TOPIC SUGGESTION BOX💡 https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox

    When is it over-sharing, and when is it a genuine attempt at intimacy? When is it trauma-dumping, and when is it just being honest?

    Can You ACTUALLY Separate the Art From the Artist?

    Creative Collaboration: The Good, The Bad, The Absolutely Hideous

    Today we're chatting about how to be a good creative partner. How do you know when to link up with another professional, and when to go it alone? How can we show up for each other, even when we have a head cold and the dishes aren't done? How do we simultaneously support our own endeavors and the endeavors of those who depend on us? Cause, man, people can be dastardly, obnoxious, bitter, sneaky, deceitful, and self-involved -- but they can also make everything better.We'll see you next time :)WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE?☕️ https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbitsTOPIC SUGGESTION BOX💡 https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox

    The Shy Girl Controversy | GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS

    A major five publisher recently pulled a novel from its spring lineup, following allegations of AI use. Was this a baseless witch-hunt, or have the chat bots officially invaded?

    How Dramageddon Changed the Internet | GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS

    Today, on Girlfriend Explains, I am explaining Dramageddon 1, 2, and 3 to Connor, who was not at all prepared for this video.

    The Forbes to Federal Prison Pipeline | GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS

    It seems to happen with some predictable frequency: A twenty-something with a questionable haircut (hey, been there) makes a yachtload of money by creating a company that solves some problem we didn’t even know we had, is praised by critics, extoled by the public, and then loses it all — as swiftly as a Fed can kick down their door. What is the pattern here? Is Forbes, the publication itself, to blame? Which underdogs do we root for, and which do we put down? ✨GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS✨ We'll see you next time :) WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE? ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbits TOPIC SUGGESTION BOX 💡 https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox

    Let's Talk About Creepy Romance Books | GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS

    Kate Golden, a USA Today Bestselling Author, has published a new romance -- a "Hoziermance", to use her own words. It's a piece of contemporary fiction inspired (in every sense) by Andrew Hozier-Byrne, AKA the "Too Sweet" guy.THAT'S WEIRD, RIGHT?!But she's not the only author to pull inspiration from a real person -- or to fan the flames of feral fan culture for the sake of upping book sales. Today, Lindsey and Connor talk about the ethics of writing so explicitly about other people, romantic fiction, questionable marketing tactics, and parasocial relationships.We'll see you next time :)☕️ WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE?→ a lil way to support the show: https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbits💡TOPIC SUGGESTIONS→ https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox
