Welcome to Pitty Party, a recap podcast for The Pitt!

Material Girls is going on winter break for the month of January and in its stead we bring you this show! Hosted by Gaby, Marcelle and Zoe, Pitty Party will recap new episodes of the Pitt as they come out week by week. To begin, Gaby, Marcelle, and Zoe look back at season one of the show and dig into what they’re most excited about in season two. They talk about their favorite characters and storylines, their respective history with medical dramas, what they expect from season two, and so much more.

We’ll be back next week to recap the first episode of The Pitt Season 2: 7:00 AM.

*Note: This episode contains spoilers for season one of The Pitt.*

Well, well, well, if it isn’t our annual All Team Holiday Episode. The real ones know that these episodes are typically out of control. This year is no different (except we were all sober at the time of recording). Tune in for a timed check-in, followed by end-of-year trivia, 2025 Oops All Oops and some light chatter about Heated Rivalry. If you’d rather not jump right into the deep end, might we recommend a mini playlist of all our holiday-themed episodes? You can work your way up to this one, by first listening to:

A Holiday Special from the Archives featuring Neale Barnholden! (there is original music in this one!!)

Merry-terial Girls: An Incomprehensible Holiday Bonus

Material Concerns: An All-Team Holiday Bonanza & Wicked Pt. I

To make sense of the recent resurgence in point-and-shoot cameras, we’re returning to French philosopher and cultural theorist Roland Barthes! We begin with a conversation about the major technological shifts that have occurred in photography between 1980 (when Barthes published Camera Lucida) and today. Hannah then leads us in a theory section all about "the Punctum." Together, she and Marcelle parse Barthes' understanding of what makes photography distinct from other mediums and how Time is entangled with our emotional relationship to snapshots captured on camera. If you've never heard of "the Punctum," let this episode be your introduction to one of Barthes' more moving contributions to our theory tool belt!
