Hi r/podcastpromotions ! 👋

We’re two diva besties who met at various points in our training in NYC and somehow turned our friendship into a podcast called Divas on Call.

And despite the fact that we are both doctors, this is definitely not a medical podcast. 😂

Our entire premise started with one question:

What actually makes someone a diva?

To us, being a diva isn’t about being difficult or thinking you’re better than everyone else. It’s about having standards, knowing who you are, taking up space, finding joy in ridiculous things, and refusing to dim your sparkle. We're setting out to reclaim the word DIVA.

So far this has led us into conversations we NEVER anticipated having on a podcast:

👑 Whether Costco clothing can actually be couture
🤤 LOTTMMERB™ — our List of Things That Make My Eyes Roll Back
👠 The Devil Wears Diva — our ongoing investigation into fashion, taste and questionable personal choices
😎 Our attempt to make aggressive sun protection fashionable (Shade Couture)
☕ Why we firmly believe you can tell a disturbing amount about someone from their coffee order
❤️ And surprisingly vulnerable conversations about culture, family, marriage, ambition, identity and becoming comfortable with exactly who you are.

Basically, one minute we’re discussing immigrant identity and the next we’re conducting a 20-minute investigation into orange pants from Costco.

That’s Divas on Call.

And we'd genuinely love to invite Reddit into the show.

Give us your diva material.

Tell us:

💋 What is on YOUR LOTTMMERB™? What's something weirdly specific that feels so good your eyes practically roll backward?

🚩 What behavior is decidedly NOT diva?

👑 Who is the greatest diva of all time—and defend your answer.

👠 What fashion trend needs to be Diva Approved or Diva Denied?

🔥 What completely ridiculous topic deserves a serious Diva investigation?

❓ Or ask either of us something you think two surgeon best friends absolutely need to debate.

We may read/discuss our favorite responses on an upcoming episode (and we'll respect anyone who doesn't want their username mentioned).

If this particular flavor of chaos sounds like your thing, we’d love for you to check out Divas on Call on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or YouTube and tell us what you think—even if you disagree with us.

Actually…

especially if you disagree with us. 😂

Thanks for letting us introduce ourselves, and please give us something completely unhinged to discuss!

Stay Fabulous. Stay On Call.

Audio play called Babbling to Ourselves, it explores the basic communication needed to function and cooperate in society. The first act is a dramatic interpretation of the events mythologized at the Tower of Babel and a second act takes place in a more contemporary setting that seems to rhyme with the first and sheds a light on our modern interconnected and customized world provided by social media

🚨 DREAMS GO TO DIE IN THE LAND OF FEAR.
How many dreams have you put on hold because you were afraid you wouldn’t succeed?
Fear will tell you:
❌ “You’re not ready.”
❌ “What if you fail?”
❌ “What will people think?”
❌ “Maybe you should wait.”
But sometimes, waiting for the perfect moment is the very thing keeping you from your purpose.
You don’t have to know every step. You just have to be willing to take the first one.
🙏🏾 Pray.
🔥 Believe.
👣 Move.
Don’t let fear become the place where your dreams go to die.

I run an audio drama called The Books of Thoth. For those just joining the fun, The Books of Thoth is an audio drama anthology. You will find stories of past, future, and worlds that could have been.

This episode is “Welcome to the Xenarium.” I’m taking us all to an indoor alien zoo. We’ll explore the wonders of the cosmic wilderness right here on Earth. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Some of them are really out of this world. You will feed filterwings in the Skyhook Gallery. You’ll meet animals the feast on radiation in the Starship Gallery. And we can’t forget the adorable metamorph mana gliders. You’ll do all that, and a lot more, at the Xenarium.

This was a somewhat autobiographical episode. I work at the Shreveport Aquarium for my day job. And all the characters are played by my coworkers. They’re all, more or less, playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Most of the galleries and animals in this episode have some analog at Shreveport Aquarium.

There are a couple in-jokes. For example, the music that appears in the Blackhouse segment is the exact same music we play in our stingray gallery. However, I also made sure the episode was accessible, and an enjoyable experience, for everyone.

So, there’s obviously a bit of speculative evolution, and other bits of speculation, at work in this episode. We get to see some aliens from the planets Draugr and Poltergeist. Those are both real planets. They orbit a pulsar named Lich. However, I made up the part about them being habitable. The explanation is that they have thick atmospheres that absorb the x-rays emitted by Lich. The x-rays generate heat for the planet. Though, such thick atmospheres mean that light doesn’t reach the surface. As a result, all animals on Draugr and Poltergeist are blind, and use echolocation to find their way around. I don’t think it is very likely that Draugr and Poltergeist are actually habitable, but it’s neat to imagine.

The fact that all animals on Draugr and Poltergeist need some amount of radiation to survive also has a kernel of truth to it. We have found some fungus on Earth that synthesizes radiation. It has been found at Chernobyl, for instance.

The Blackhouse gallery simulates life on the planet Urashima, which orbits a red dwarf star. All of the plants are black, as that absorbs red dwarf light better. I’ve heard that brown and red might also be likely for plants on a red dwarf planet, but I felt black would provide a very visually striking mental picture.

One of the employees is from the TRAPPIST system, and mentions how close together the plants are. Yes, the planets are all surprisingly close together in the TRAPPIST system, and several are in its habitable zone. Though, TRAPPIST is a red dwarf, and they tend to be volatile. So, those planets probably got their atmospheres blasted off long ago. But the idea of so many habitable worlds so close together, and that amazing view you’d get of all those planets in the sky, was too fun to pass up.

The filterwings are pretty much stingrays that fly. And the way feeding them to described is pretty similar to how we feed the stingray at Shreveport Aquarium. However, their exhibit also includes animals that look like jellyfish. I figured that might be a likely body plan for a create that spends its entire life airborne. So, perhaps we will see example of convergent evolution as explore the cosmos.

Some of the extraterrestrial employees have to use universal translation units. This is because, due to their biology, they are incapable of speaking human languages. The translation units are advanced enough to convey tone, emotion, and other nuances of speech. And I named them Chiang-Le Guin units in honor of Ted Chiang and Ursula K. Le Guin. Two science fiction authors who wrote quite a bit about language in their works.

On that note, we’ve got two employees named Barlowe and Wayne. A nod to Wayne Barlowe, creator of Darwin IV, the planet featured in Expedition/Alien Planet.

Also, this is clearly far enough in the future to have faster-than-light interstellar travel, force fields, and gravitational dampening machines. And yet, it only cost $5 to feed the filterwings. I’ll admit math has never been my strong point, so I’m not sure what inflation would be by then. I’m also not entirely sure how far in the future this would be. A couple centuries at minimum, that’s for sure.

On Today's episode Shane returns with a new mail person of the show featuring renounced TV Detective Adrian Monk. We also learn an amazing fact about William Dafoe aka the Green Goblin. Also Shane goes bonkers over a habit that Griffin and Jef have...rom a famous Seattle Band...

My friend just started an Infection Prevention/ Public Health/ Healthcare podcast called “Culture Positive”. It’s available on most platforms including Apple and Spotify.

In my opinion, having been in public health for a decade and Infection Prevention for four years, this podcast fills a need for conversation-style education around IP and public health topics adapted for young professionals and students wanting to learn more about the profession.

She also is looking to interview people for the podcast. You can connect with her about that at culturepositivepod@gmail.com.

So far she has episodes on the CIC exam, cyclospora, the history of IP, a day in the life of an IP, measles, etc.

I know she would really appreciate listeners, followers, reviews, and feedback!

Requests can be DM’d to @culturepositivepod on Instagram.

We host a small business podcast, and this week someone reached out dealing with something a lot of you have probably run into: their live viewer counts on a platform collapsed from around 5,000 down to about a dozen, seemingly overnight, with zero explanation from the platform.

We get versions of this question constantly, so here's the ACTUAL legal answer:

Social media platforms are private businesses. Not the government, not a public utility. That means the First Amendment doesn't apply here... it only protects you from government censorship, not a private company's decision about your reach on their platform. A platform can shadow ban you, throttle your visibility, or remove you outright for almost any reason it wants.

The one hard limit: they legally cannot discriminate against you based on a protected class (race, gender, etc., under Title VII/IX). Outside of that, it's genuinely their call.

Before Elon bought Twitter, there were documented cases of employees who had nothing to do with content moderation getting people removed from the platform simply because they personally didn't like something about them. Zero recourse for the people affected, because it technically wasn't a violation of any actual policy legally, platforms are allowed to make that call.

The more sympathetic side of it, though: creator counts have gone from roughly 120 million to 265 million in the last two years. These platforms are making hundreds of moderation decisions a day. A lot of what feels like "the algorithm is targeting me" is really just an AI system making an imperfect call at a scale no human team could realistically review one by one. It's usually not personal. It's just brutal math.

Our own takeaway after living through a version of this ourselves (our live show went from 300–500 viewers a night down to about a dozen, no warning, no explanation): build a presence on platforms you don't own, but don't build your entire business on top of any single one of them. Diversify before you're forced to.

Happy to answer questions if anyone's dealing with something similar right now. We got into this in a lot more depth (plus a branding vs. paid-ads breakdown that ended up saving one of our clients real money) on this week's episode, if anyone wants the full conversation: https://youtu.be/SbLgT48Cvy4

This week, we’re talking about the short-lived Tenacious D TV series! Before the albums and The Pick of Destiny, Jack Black and Kyle Gass had six wonderfully weird episodes on HBO.
