Our ins and outs for 2023. Happy new year you gorgeous bleeders 😘
As 2022 comes to a close, we want to share how grateful we are for all our Blisteners both old and new. We have Blisteners tuning in from all over the world, something we never imagined when we started recording these episodes in my (Meg Hayes) concrete bunker/apartment. We are so blessed to have Blisteners sharing our episodes with their Blamilies and Blends and singing our Blaises. And a special shout-out to and her awesome followers for joining us on this BLILD BLIDE (I’ll stop). Wherever you’re celebrating the holidays, know that we fu***ng love you and we’re always in your headphones to keep you company. BLOVE BLATE BLEG AND BLEG 🩸 ❄️ 🕎 🎄🩸
Happy Halloween from Pope Moira and a black cat (aka two Megs in a photobooth). 🎃🦇🩸
On our menopause, takin a breather. Hope you’re all bleeding happy and everywhere! 😘

TUNE IN.

This week we chat with our amazing friend about her abortion. Here are some important data points from the about who gets abortions. While an abortion patient can be virtually anyone, nearly 60% of all abortion patients already have one or more children. This is the case for our friend Carla, and we are so grateful to her for sharing her story. Tune in tomorrow wherever you get your podcasts.

With the trend of laughing at Alpha Males, we thought this #fbf to episode 46, where @kateelston17 told us about some misogynist bullsh*t in sports as recently as 2014, would be a nice treat.

Tune in to hear her story and get a glimpse of some new crazy Q’s. 🤓 . #newepisode #podcastersofinstagram #teargas #menstrualhealth #menstrualcycle #periods #periodproblems
Want your business to be the top-listed Media Company?
It all started at a dinner party. Because the hosts of Vicious Cycle are the kind of people who eat dinner AND party.
The Megs were talking about their periods in public again and the other dinner guests were amused. Laughing, in fact. And they thought “we could totally make this a podcast.”
They pitched it to Kate, who was like “yeah, half of the world’s population bleeds - this could appeal to a lot of people.” She’s really practical like that.
So, they borrowed some podcasting equipment, set up shop in Meg H’s kitchen, and started recording... sometimes blee-cording. (That’s just a taste of the wit you’ll enjoy in each episode.)
Vicious Cycle is out to demystify, bitch about, and laugh at periods.
It’s about time.
