Sprinkles and Spice

Nyeste episode
Sneaker Trends We're Judging In 2026

Om denne podkasten

An unfiltered and occasionally unhinged deep dive into life’s spiciest topics courtesy of a girl who overshares for a living.

Each week, Zainab sits down with whoever’s bold enough to unpack the messy stuff: everyday struggles, identity spirals, internet chaos, and the complicated people we pretend not to care about.

It’s bilingual, brutally honest, and never tries too hard to make sense.
