Über diesen Titel

 Part stand-up comedy, part slice of life. Camellia is a vaguely employed twenty-something using comedy to tackle the biggest issues of the moment. Which of her parents is right in an argument? Why do fake sugar daddy accounts have such bad grammar? And when will the Obamas finally let her be friends with them? All this and more every other Tuesday-ish.

  • Cough drop name drops

    Cough drop name drops
    Mar 23 2023

    On today's episode, I start out with the most recent stupid thing the internet told me I need to buy (it's skincare, and I am embarrassed) and consider the role influencers play on the economy. Then I give an update (!!) to a previous traumatic experience I had in a coffee shop, which is a new but equally traumatic coffee shop experience. Our final story comes from a rabbit hole I ended up in after I lost my voice, which led me to discover what the "most hip-hop words" are.

  • Awad talks public transit engineering + impact

    Awad talks public transit engineering + impact
    Feb 15 2023

    This week's Desk Chair Expert, Awad, is a transportation engineer, and I start out the episode trying to figure out what the heck that even means. We dive into the important role public transit plays in a community as well as debating what makes a good subway system and I give my Full Official Review of the Washington, D.C. metro. Awad explains his previous work with autonomous vehicles and we compete to see who had a worse driver's ed experience (it was me). We talk about what public transit looks like across the world and Awad walks us through a project he's currently working on to collect and share transit data in Khartoum, Sudan. In between all of this, we chat about casual mansplaining, my transformation into a Darts Girl, and how to deal with disagreements in subtle ways.


    As a reminder, this series is called Desk Chair Expert because the guests are regular people talking about subjects they find interesting. Please understand that they are discussing the extent of their personal knowledge and expressing their individual opinions.

  • The case against fridge water

    The case against fridge water
    Feb 4 2023
    I start this episode talking about something my family did that I thought everyone else did, and how it took me years to figure out that we weren't the normal ones. Then I recount two of the (very few) times I've been skiing, both of which ended in disaster. One time ended in an actual fall, and the other severely damaged my pride, which we all know is much worse. Finally, I share my pitch for how I would like to see political parties rename themselves to give voters a clear idea of candidates' actual policy issues.
