Anna and Enzo are diving deep for this episode - so deep they’ve entered a new hemisphere and have reached the oceans of Australia. For episode 119 of Telepathy, they discuss the recent social media ban for kids 16 and under in the Outback. With TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and more out of the picture, Enzo and Anna debate the recent age verification technologies that have been introduced. After Enzo’s face was scanned before watching a medical YouTube video, Enzo and Anna determined that more anti-social media legislation may be on its way. They discuss the ethics of creating versus consuming and unpack Enzo’s entrance into content creation, which began at age 11. Enjoy!
What started off as a harmless crush to spice up the plot has now left you planning your outfits around a specific person…It’s okay. We’ve all been there. For episode 118, Enzo and Anna are diving deep into their history with crushes from elementary school to the present day. This week on Telepathy, they discuss childhood celebrity crushes, making up a crush to fit in, and deciding to like someone purely out of boredom.

In episode 117 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna are looking towards the western sky.

Enzo discusses Glinda's role in representing neutrality and performative activism as Anna explores the significance of Elphaba's trapdoor revival. They give commentary on the additional songs in the musical film, Dorothy's minimal appearance, Michelle Yeoh's performance, the chaotic press tour, and so much more. Most importantly, if you flip around MM (Madame Morrible), you'll be left with WW (Wicked Witch)?!
It’s almost Thanksgiving, and Anna and Enzo are ready to yap for 40 minutes straight about what’s going on in their lives. Listen to episode 116 to hear all about Enzo’s thoughts so far on college, since she is almost officially a semester deep. Since being home, Enzo has had some thoughts about how college life and home life almost seem to happen in sync, as if these two lives are parallel universes. Anna gives her update on her current corporate lifestyle, and reflects on what life is like now that she works 9-5. The thought of college brings back some fun memories, too. Like the time Anna’s dorm became Yik Yak famous. Tune in to catch up with us!
"When a baddie gets a boyfriend, does an angel lose her wings?" Socrates, the Greek philosopher, once theorized. In episode 115, Enzo and Anna are weighing in on a relevant question in the media currently. The Vogue article by Chanté Joseph has left the internet wondering if it's "embarrassing" to have a boyfriend now. Though Enzo and Anna conclude that maybe this question is irrelevant if we just go outside, they still have many opinions to fill the 40 minutes. From gender stereotypes to feeling like a boyfriend is "republican," Enzo and Anna analyze the role of social media and the emphasis on creating an "online persona." As many give too much thought to how they are perceived online, people are now finding it difficult to curate how their relationship appears on Instagram...
Fall is here, and the weather is not the only thing that is cool currently. For episode 114 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna define what it really means to be "cool" beyond the superficial definition. To do so, they look to people in their lives to determine what characteristics actually make a person "cool." Enzo and Anna note qualities such as confidence and social awareness, and also analyze recent fashion trends to determine what makes someone's personal style "cool." They turn to the internet to assess "cool" public figures, including Billie Eilish, Emma Chamberlain, De'arra Taylor, and Alex Consani. From singers to supermodels, these celebrities all possess "coolness," but why? This is the burning question Enzo and Anna unfortunately needed 50 minutes to answer. Enjoy!
For episode 113 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna are going deep. This week, they're reflecting on events that occurred in their childhood that have manifested into negative habits today. Anna discusses the impact of growing up shy and feeling excluded in school, while Enzo opens up about navigating femininity in private as a child. They also analyze the concept of "healing your inner child," and note the differences between reconnecting with your favorite childhood media vs. living through new experiences your five-year-old self never had the chance to. Disclaimer: Enzo and Anna are referring to trauma as a "deeply distressing or disturbing experience," and are not referencing any diagnosed trauma disorders.
For episode 112 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna are adding the second episode to their new series, "normalized addictions." Today, they are talking about none other than the smartphone. Enzo and Anna discuss their attachment to their phones and the tendency to rely on social media to fill time. They also analyze the societal impact of smartphones as our screen times collectively increase. Enzo and Anna dive deep into what makes our phones so addictive and what aspects of our phone usage mirror an addiction. Finally, they map out a plan to reduce screen time to increase productivity, creativity, and real human connection.
For an angel number episode (#111), Telepathy discusses the possibility of protecting your peace *too* much. Enzo and Anna determine what is selfish vs. self-care and the idea that true friendship doesn't exist anymore. After seeing a viral post of a girl reminding everyone that you should attend your friend's birthday party even if you're tired, Enzo analyzes the gray area between taking care of yourself and still showing up for others. Anna explains how her childhood may have shaped her current view of friendship, and how she's learned to maintain a work-life balance in the midst of her relationship. Enzo then concludes that this all may be an issue due to social media, phone addictions, and even hustle culture. Enjoy!
Good thing we like our podcasts un-cancelled, because Telepathy is absolutely back this Tuesday for an important discussion. In episode 110, Enzo and Anna break down the release of Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. As a long-time Swiftie, Anna recaps her initial thoughts and predicts how the album will stand in her rankings. On the other hand, Enzo explains the many facial expressions made during the first listen of the album. Telepathy touches on the poor songwriting accusations, Taylor’s alleged response to Charli XCX, boring melodies, and possibly micro-aggressive lyrics. Nonetheless, Enzo and Anna may disagree about this new album, but their telepathy remains strong. Enjoy!
Is it hot in here, or is it just Telepathy’s burning hot takes? For episode 109, Enzo and Anna join forces to compile a list of their most controversial college opinions. As a recent college graduate and a newly 23-year-old (Happy belated birthday, Anna!), Anna is able to share her advice on how to survive the four years in style. As a new college student, Enzo is here to share all the lore on how the first 6 weeks have been going. From sitting in the front row during lectures to unpopular dining hall opinions, Telepathy truly covers it all in this week’s episode. Additionally, Anna tells the story of how she became an “in-class celebrity,” while Enzo explains her battle with rejection therapy. Enjoy!
For episode 108 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna are reopening their conversation on concert culture in 2025. They discuss the increasing popularity of TikToks that unfairly criticize an artist's tour. When a two-hour performance is watered down in a fifteen-second TikTok or Instagram reel, artists are left with accusations of lip-syncing, boring choreography, or a lack of stage presence. From Renee Rapp's outfit choices to Lorde on a treadmill, no artist is safe from being "clipped." In addition, Enzo and Anna comment on the difficulty of securing concert tickets and the concept of being "worthy enough" to attend an artist's show. Whether it's a Ticketmaster battle for the front row at Ariana Grande's upcoming tour or a pit full of phones recording, the universal concert experience continues to change. All of that to say...a 45-minute discussion was much needed. Enjoy!
Anna and Enzo have consumed their daily Yerba Mate and iced coffee, so there's no need to worry! They are awake and ready to talk. In episode 107 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna analyze the normalization of a caffeine dependency and how coffee culture varies from country to country. They note that the United States' reliance on coffee and energy drinks often reflects "hustle culture," whereas "tea time" is viewed as a chance to slow down in the UK. With the concept of "don't talk to me until I've had my coffee," people often rely on caffeine to power through exhausting 9-5s. In typical marketing fashion, many coffee shops have now turned to fancy $8 lattes to fulfill people's caffeine cravings. So, grab your overpriced latte or a nice hot cup of tea and use these 40 minutes of Telepathy time to slow down!
Our mouths are watering because today’s episode is about the one and only Trader Joe’s. In this one, Anna and Enzo yass or pass on their top choices from this iconic American grocery store. From seasonal delights such as pumpkin pasta sauce and peppermint cookies, they discuss their thoughts on the best things to grab on your grocery run. Anna also takes a deep dive on her lost love, dried persimmons. Comment your favorite items that we missed!
Today, Enzo and Anna are discussing the press and the pressed. For episode 105, their main focus is on the use of controversy and shock value for PR stunts. They analyze recent headlines from Cracker Barrel's "revolutionary" fake rebrand to the unsettling American Eagle advertisement. Enzo and Anna debate whether public figures must be problematic in order to turn heads and rise to fame. From Love Island's Huda to Sabrina Carpenter on all fours, the most scandalous of acts tend to be the ones people talk about. How does this affect careers in the long term, though? All questions answered in this 50-minute discussion!
Contrary to the awkward thirty-second elevator talks discussed in episode 104, Enzo and Anna have 45 minutes' worth of opinions today. This week on Telepathy, they break down the widely accepted concept of "small talk." Often with good intentions, many people engage in small talk, hoping to fill the silence with casual banter. However, it can frequently feel exhausting and repetitive. So, Enzo and Anna felt it was necessary to trace the origins of small talk and offer advice on how to expand conversations beyond just "the weather." Enjoy!
Anna’s here with her very first solo episode while Enzo is busy moving into college (good luck Enzo! We say in unison.) For her episode, Anna has decided to talk all about putting yourself out there— growing up as the “quiet person” in every group, Anna learned a lot throughout her life about how to become more confident in not always having something to say in every conversation. Throughout the episode, Anna talks about what it really means to be an introvert, and if she even is one anymore. She also talks about how she became less afraid to be herself as she went through college. Hopefully this episode will be a good advice sesh, or give you insight into the mind of your quiet friend.
