🎙️ The Unofficial Transcript
Real Life. Real Lessons. No Syllabus Required.

College is just one chapter — but no one ever gives you the full transcript.

The Unofficial Transcript is a candid, funny, and honest podcast about the lessons we learn in college, because of college, and long after graduation. We talk about education, identity, mental health, relationships, money, career pivots, and the messy in-between moments that shape who we become.

Some episodes dive into college experiences, mistakes, and decisions — the stuff guidance counselors don’t tell you. Others go way beyond campus, unpacking real-world growth, unlearning, and figuring life out when the rules aren’t clear anymore.

This show is for:

  • Students trying to make sense of college life
  • Graduates navigating “now what?”
  • People who didn’t take a traditional path
  • Anyone who wants honest conversations about growing up, starting over, and leveling up

Think of it like the conversations you wish you had earlier — or the ones you still need now.

No lectures. No perfection. Just real talk.

New episodes weekly. Press play.

  • Do You Actually Have a Type...Or Were You Taught One? | Studs, Femmes & Modern Dating
    Jun 9 2026

    Everybody says they have a type... but is it really about looks? This week, Coach A and Dr. D get into a conversation that starts with attraction and quickly turns into something much deeper.

    We're talking labels, gender roles, masculinity, femininity, and how much of who we're attracted to is shaped by society versus who we genuinely are. Why do queer women seem to move so fast in relationships? Why do certain identities get stereotyped while others get romanticized? And are we attracted to people—or to what they represent?

    From the expectations placed on femmes and studs to the difference between authenticity and performance in dating, nothing is off limits. We unpack what "good" queer representation actually looks like, why vulnerability feels so risky, and how the boxes society creates can both help and hurt us.

    It's thoughtful, it's honest, and yes, it's a little messy.

    Whether you're questioning labels, navigating queer relationships, or just wondering why people love the way they do, this conversation might have you rethinking a few things.

  • The Business of Spectacle: A V12 Think Piece
    Jun 3 2026

    V12 has become one of the most talked-about restaurants on social media, but the conversation goes far beyond food.

    This week, we're unpacking the culture, controversy, and leadership behind the viral Atlanta hotspot. From luxury branding and workplace expectations to the power of charisma and image, we're asking: when does having high standards cross the line into something else?

    Join us as we break down the V12 discourse and explore what it reveals about leadership, social media, and the experiences we're buying into.

  • Somebody Need To Pause The Simulation. ASAP!
    May 26 2026

    A lot of people out here are lost right now. And not just “I need to find a new hobby” lost. Like real life identity crisis type lost. The world weird as hell, everybody in survival mode, people just trying to make it from one day to the next, and somewhere in the middle of all that…a lot of us don’t even know who we are anymore.

    In this episode, we really had a raw conversation about being stuck between the old version of yourself and the person you know you’re supposed to become. Like you know you can’t stay the same…but you also don’t fully know what the next version of you is supposed to look like yet. And that feeling? A LOT of people are sitting in that right now.

    We talked about how childhood, trauma, pressure, social media, expectations, hustle culture, all of that plays a role in how people move through life. A lot of people aren’t even living intentionally for real, they're just reacting to whatever life throws at them. Wake up. Go to work. Pay bills. Doom scroll. Repeat. And after a while you start losing yourself in the process.

    We also got into how social media got everybody performing instead of actually living. People chasing aesthetics, titles, money, validation, and whole time they don’t even know what genuinely makes them happy. We talked about purpose, passion, vision boards, expression, finding your people, and learning how to separate what YOU actually want from what everybody else told you to want.

    This episode really for anybody in that weird season of life where you're outgrowing old versions of yourself in real time. If you been feeling mentally stuck, emotionally tired, disconnected, confused about your future, or like life been forcing you into survival mode…yeah. Very much “late night drive thinking about your life” energy.
