  • The Munich Valentine Hangover

    The Munich Valentine Hangover
    Feb 20 2026

    Is the U.S. "consciously uncoupling" from Europe? In this episode of The Sanity Break, Maithreyi Seetharaman and Nina Levchuk dive into the highs, lows, and hilarious memes of the Munich Security Conference.


    From the White House redefining "situationships" with Greenland to the rise of right-wing "cool" women in Japan and Italy, we peel back the layers of global geopolitics. We also discuss why IBM is ditching its AI rollout to hire more Gen Zers, the innovation coming out of Ukraine’s tech scene, and a "Hot or Not" segment featuring everything from brain-boosting caffeine to the mysterious poison that allegedly killed Alexei Navalny.

  • Bad Bunny, Winter Olympics Drama & the Epstein Files: We Watched It All

    Bad Bunny, Winter Olympics Drama & the Epstein Files: We Watched It All
    Feb 12 2026

    Is everything in 2026 politicized? From the Super Bowl halftime show to AI advertisements, the "troll wars" are officially in full swing.


    In today’s episode, we break down the massive viewership gap between the official Super Bowl (135M+) and the Turning Point alternative show. Why did a Spanish-language performance trigger such a backlash, and how did the Obamas deliver the most elegant clapback of the year? Plus, we talked about the Epstein Files fallout: how the victims are being forgotten even as Europe’s leaders get called out and governments are left reeling.

    Pop Culture Meets AI Apocalypse: Moira, Melania, Minaj & Moltbook
    Feb 5 2026

    ​​Welcome to Sanity Break! Did you doom‑scroll, watch a get‑ready‑with‑me video, and almost buy a random jumper before you found this? Same. 🥂✨


    This week, we go from heartbreak to chaos. We honour Catherine O’Hara’s genius (Yes, she played the iconic Moira Rose)! Then we dive into the 2026 Grammys, Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, and the K-pop Demon Hunter phenomenon. 🏆

    Then… things get wild. Nicki Minaj meets Donald Trump, gold cards, nails and all. From Melania to Prince Andrew and Brazilian outrage over a dog’s death, we explore how power and privilege warp the world in shocking ways.

    And just when you think it can’t get stranger: AI agents now have their own social media platform, Moltbook, roasting humanity in ways that are hilarious, terrifying, and utterly addictive. 🤖🔥

    Pop culture, politics, tech and AI collide in one unforgettable ride. Tune in.
