In this episode of Fairy Gaymothers Sorta, Kat and Hunter enrol in another instalment of their extremely rigorous (and completely self-appointed) curriculum: Know Thy Hobbies. Yes girls and gays, we’re getting introspective… but like, fun about it. This week’s syllabus tackles the age-old question plaguing our generation: do we actually have hobbies, or are we just scrolling with conviction?

First on the agenda, Kat and Hunter report back with their recurring fieldwork segments: The Hinge Cringe and Crash / Bit / Bang. Hunter attempts to defend her matchmaking abilities (the evidence scarce), while Kat explains her deeply held philosophy of joy by proxy, specifically through the time-honoured practice of watching SMOSH videos like they’re prestige television. From there, we enter the main lecture: hobbies. Hunter and Kat unpack their own personal hobbies, the mysterious state of Gen Z hobbies as a whole, and why so many of us feel like we’re supposed to have enriching personal interests but instead just have… screen time reports. Does scrolling count as a hobby? Are we doomed to live hobbyless lives? It’s up to us to investigate.

Plus, a surprisingly earnest exploration of something radical in the year of our lord 2026: being alone. What happens when you actually spend time with yourself? Is solitude scary, powerful, healing, or all three? Kat and Hunter discuss the quiet art of getting to know yourself, and why it might be the most important hobby of all. It’s hobbies. It’s existential. It’s extremely unserious self-improvement. 🧚‍♀️📓

In this episode of Fairy Gaymothers Sorta, Kat and Hunter enrol in a brand-new instalment of their self-imposed curriculum: Know Thy News. Yes, girls and gays, we’re getting journalistic (loosely). This week’s syllabus includes the most pressing events in pop culture right now, from baffling celebrity discourse to the stories that have taken over everyone’s timelines. As always, we report back with our crashes, bits, and bangs of the week, because staying culturally literate is a full-time job.

We dive into the newest Wuthering Heights adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi (our personal enemy), unpack the unexpected fan fiction ecosystem emerging around The Pitt, and attempt a groundbreaking academic exercise: using the Lesbian Web™ to properly place the chaotic characters and actors of Hulu’s Tell Me Lies. Naturally, things only get more unhinged from there.

Plus, a deep dive into the internet’s favourite pastime: celebrity conspiracy theories, including the strange and suspicious online narratives swirling around Selena Gomez. Are these theories based in fact, fiction, or pure chronically-online energy? The girls investigate. It’s news. It’s nonsense. It’s cultural reporting of the highest (and lowest) order. 🧚‍♀️📰

In this episode of Fairy Gaymothers Sorta, Kat and Hunter enrol in a brand-new instalment of their self-imposed curriculum: Know Thy Crime or Do Thy Time. Yes, girls and gays, we’re getting investigative. This week’s syllabus includes cold cases, serial murderers, and the ever-growing cultural obsession with true crime. They dig into the ethics of it all: Who gets centred in these stories? Is consuming true crime a form of advocacy, or are we all just a little too comfortable treating real tragedy like prime television?

It’s camp. It’s crime.

Plus: we premiere a brand-new segment, The Hinge Cringe, where the girls bravely (and foolishly) read the most horrifying dating app messages they’ve ever received — digital artifacts so unsettling they deserve to be sealed in a vault beneath the earth. Consider this your formal warning.

Please note: Unfortunately, there was some technical difficulties with the microphones towards the end of the video (homophobic, we know) and we apologize in advance if it disturbs the listening experience!
