15 MAY 2025 · Welcome back F.A.B. FAM. This week the ladies sink thier teeth into Ryan Cooglers first original film and instant classic, Sinners! Sinners is a genre-blending horror set in 1932 Mississippi. This haunting tale follows twin brothers returning home to escape their past—only to find something far darker waiting for them... Vampires! As always, the crew pulls no punches, unpacking the film’s rich themes: the duality of human nature, the eternal struggle between good and evil, and how racism itself is a real-life horror story. Tune in for a conversation that’s as gripping as the film. You won’t want to miss this one. Cheers! 🚨S P O I L E R 🚨A L E R T!

30 APR 2025 · Welcome back! This week the ladies explore "The Personal Librarian" by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray—a stunning historical fiction novel based on the real life of Belle da Costa Greene, a Black woman who passed as white to rise through the ranks of elite society in the early 1900s. Handpicked by J.P. Morgan himself, Belle becomes the personal librarian to one of the most powerful men in the world and curates a collection that would define literary prestige. But, behind her poise and power, lies a daily negotiation of identity and survival. The hosts explore Belle’s dual existence, the cost of racial passing, and the brilliance she brought to a world that would’ve rejected her if they’d known her truth. Join them as they unpack the legacy of a woman who had to erase herself to leave her mark. Cheers!

23 APR 2025 · Welcome back! This week the ladies are back at it, diving headfirst into the eerie, satirical world of Black Mirror in its long-awaited Season . Known for its sharp commentary on our tech-obsessed lives, the anthology returns with six new episodes. This time, our hosts zoom in on the follow-up to fan-favorite, (and Kat’s) USS Callister. With Daly out of the picture, Captain Nanette now leads the digital crew in USS Callister: Into Infinity—but things are far from safe. In a world where they’re perceived as just pixels in a game, survival becomes terrifyingly real. The hosts unpack the episode’s themes of autonomy, personhood, and the chilling implications of virtual existence.

2 APR 2025 · This week, the ladies are stepping up to the plate for an animated home run! In this episode, our hosts enthusiastically review Win or Lose, Pixar Animation Studios’ first-ever original long-form animated series. Following the Pickles, a co-ed middle school softball team, the series takes a fresh and heartfelt approach by showcasing each episode from a different character’s perspective. With its unique visual storytelling, funny and emotional moments, and deeply relatable themes, Win or Lose knocks it out of the park. So grab your gloves, step into the batter’s box, and join the discussion as they celebrate this innovative and heartfelt series! Spoiler Alert! If you haven't watched Win or Lose, and don't want it spoiled, hit pause and come back after you've experienced this animated gem! Cheers!🥂

26 MAR 2025 · In this episode, the ladies dive into Confessions of a Video Vixen and Vindicated by Karrine Steffans, exploring the highs, lows, and lessons (or lack thereof) from her journey. They examine her troubled childhood, her rise to fame in the hip-hop industry, and the factors that led to her infamous reputation as “Superhead.” While Confessions exposed the toxic power dynamics of the industry, Vindicated raises a bigger question for our hosts—has Steffans truly grown, or is she still caught in the same cycles? Our hosts analyze her past and present relationships, including her recent entanglement with celebrity chef Kwame Onwuachi and ask: Is she the empowered feminist she claims to be, or is she still repeating the same toxic cycles? Tune in for a no-holds-barred discussion on fame, agency, and what it really means to break free from the past. Cheers!🥂

19 MAR 2025 · Sometimes life throws a curveball, and this weekend was no exception—one of our hosts (Kat) was in a car accident and ended up with a slight concussion (don’t worry, she's okay!). Since recording the usual episode wasn’t in the cards, the ladies did what they do best—kept it F.A.B. and pushed through.This week, they’re sharing an episode normally reserved for Patreon subscribers—meaning it’s wayyy more candid, unsensored, and even features an unexpected guest drop-in! It’s not as structured, but it’s still our hosts being their opinionated, funny, and unfiltered selves. Hope you all enjoy the conversation! Cheers!🥂

The Book Club is Fake but the Talk is REAL! The F.A.B. Podcast serves cocktails while also serving up stories with a side dish of humor, a sprinkle of sarcasm, and an occasional expletive as garnish. Every hump day, tune in as Moni and Kat playfully and thoughtfully explore compelling books and topics as they relate to the human experience, filtered through the lens as black women in the midwest. Let each episode illustrate the power of storytelling and how it connects us all. This podcast is a reason for them to connect as friends, as individuals, and with their listeners. It’s like therapy you didn't know you needed...along with some laughs! You may come for the books but you'll stay for the vibes!!
