About this podcast
babblings, formerly known as "Babblings of a Twentysomething" is a podcast hosted by Ali (she/her) covering all the woes that come with being a twentysomething like dating, friendships, and living alone. But it's more than just another twentysomething spouting about life, babblings is dedicated to bringing you more extensive topics like current events, hot takes on pop culture, and breaking down large scale societal norms that are actually eating away at our autonomy and creativity. Ali's here to share the nuggets of wisdom she honestly wished she didn't have, so hopefully we can learn our lessons together.
babblings is an extension of the babblings substack which combined together is the ever evolving self portrait Ali wants to share with the world.
xoxo :)
