PMDD So Problematic I Wrote A Book About It with Chloe Caldwell 05/11/2022

PMDD So Problematic I Wrote A Book About It with Chloe Caldwell For the 85th episode of Private Parts Unknown, hosts Courtney Kocak and Sofiya Alexandra welcome author Chloe Caldwell for a deep dive into her latest book, The Red Zone, about her experience with PMDD and how that impacted her relationships. The Red Zone: A Love Story is a searching, galvanizing memoir about blood and love: how learning more about her period, PMS, PMDD, and the effects of hormones on moods transformed her relationships — to a new partner, to family, to non-blood kin, and to her own body — from the beloved essayist and author of Women. We discuss how PMDD is different from regular ol’ PMS, Chloe’s journey to regain control over her symptoms, what worked and what didn’t, and how being a stepparent is kind of like being queer.

Love Letter to Ukraine 03/04/2022

Love Letter to Ukraine For the 78th episode of Private Parts Unknown, hosts Courtney Kocak and Sofiya Alexandra are sending a love letter to Sofiya’s homeland: Ukraine — more specifically Odessa, the pearl of the Black Sea. Sofiya grew up in Odessa, Ukraine, before immigrating to the U.S. in 1994, when she was in middle school. Now, in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Sofiya revisits the place she first called home, sharing her favorite memories and cultural touchstones, why it's Ukraine instead of "the Ukraine" (which undermines the country's sovereignty), how this war has made us realize our neglect of other conflict zones, and more. This episode was inspired by Sofiya's viral Twitter thread, which struck a chord with folks eager to learn more about Ukraine during this harrowing time. We’re up for some Podca$h funding for the show, and, in addition to paying our team, we want to take a trip to Antarctica for a bucket list series about love and sexuality on the South Pole. Please write us a short love letter (just a sentence or two would be perfect!) letting them know what you love about our show. Please don’t hold back on the compliments!
