Is it just us, or is the "New Year, New Me" energy actually kind of... exhausting?

It's a new year and in this episode of NUSKA, hosts (and resident neuro-spicy besties) Connie and E.B. are officially opting out of the January 1st industrial complex.

If you’ve ever felt like a failure because your gym membership lasted exactly four days or your "organized life" lasted until the first pile of laundry, this one is for you.

We’re diving deep into why the neurodivergent brain often clashes with traditional goal-setting and how to navigate the "Fresh Start Effect" without the inevitable burnout.

Whether you're currently hyperfixating on a new hobby or just trying to remember to drink water, pull up a chair. We’re doing the New Year differently—mostly by not doing it at all.

Stay weird, stay curious, and we’ll see you in the next one.

Ever listened to something one of us has said and thought...wtf? Well, you're not alone.

It's a new episode of Nuska, and this time we're talking crazy childhoods. That's right. Moms talking to aliens. Psychic conventions. Ghost girls in the road. If you want to know what makes us so kooky, we're going to lay it all out for you.

What if the Salem witch trials weren’t about piety at all, but booze, power, and old grudges dressed up as holiness?

This week, it's a special interests episode! We're talking the Salem Witch Trials, Frankenstein, POTS, and those two hair-plugs-attached-to-veneers that Donald Trump calls his sons.

It’s all part of one through-line: special interests are not a distraction. They’re a way to decode how fear, status, and desire shape law, health, and art...and how we can push back with better stories and better tools.

If this exploration sparked you, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves deep dives, and leave a review telling us which rabbit hole we should tackle next.

In this episode, we journey across continents in search of the creatures that haunt our maps and imaginations.

From the misty lochs of Scotland to the dense swamps of the American South, and the shadowed mountains of Korea, we uncover the legends of the world’s most intriguing cryptids. Join us as we explore the stories, sightings, and cultural roots behind these mysterious beings that blur the line between myth and reality.

Whether it’s a scaly serpent, a swamp monster, or a shape-shifting spirit, each tale reveals something deeper about our fascination with the unknown.

She’s funny. She’s wild. She’s dangerous...and she’s being rewarded for it.

This episode dives deep into the phenomenon of Bonnie Blue: the woman weaponizing shock, sex, and self-destruction in a culture too entertained to call it predatory.

We talk about power, gender, the illusion of “feminist chaos,” and why her rise exposes the cracks in how we talk about accountability (for everyone).

What does it really mean to be happy...and how do we design a life that leads us there?

In this lively first episode of NUSKA, I sit down with my friend Connie Facer to wander through the strange, beautiful, and complicated landscape of human happiness.

From the wisdom of ancient Greek philosophers, to eccentric figures in history who found joy in the oddest ways, to the role of art, culture, and creativity in shaping our inner lives, this conversation is part philosophy, part storytelling, part human curiosity.

It’s fun, it’s thoughtful, it’s a little weird—and it just might leave you rethinking what happiness can look like.
