No Trauma Bond is ever broken... but we will be taking a short break. Trauma Bond HQ will be out of office for the month of August! But don't fret, our next episode comes out on September 7th with a very special guest and it's another fun one, if you can believe.

In the meantime, be sure to follow us on IG and Tiktok @traumabondpodpod for the unhinged social content we'll be dishing out throughout the month, and maybe go back and re-listen to your favorite episodes :)

Hope you're all having a great Summer!

Have you ever wanted to call CPS on your SIMs family? Does trauma run in your family like your father's eyes? Did you gift your virginity unceremoniously on an air mattress? Then, with heartfelt condolences and congratulations, you found the perfect episode! Kylie Vincent left us deeply undone yet unashamed with her appearance on the pod. So turn down the tender and tap in to this conversation to get the answer to the burning question: are there some experiences too dark to laugh at?

Kylie Vincent is a Gen Z pope. She has created a cult following of gay sick people from her first solo show "Bird" that received 5 star reviews at Edinburgh Fringe. Her stand-up has been featured on Comedy Central as a part of their Stand-Up Featuring series with over 100,000 views, if anyone watches YouTube. Glamorously, Kylie was presented by the city of West Hollywood this year as their 2026 Artist Grant recipient. Her new hour, Lesion Lady has had a sold out run of shows first performed 18 days out of hospital, 47 days out of the hospital, and 120 days out of the hospital, and Hollywood Fringe.

It's time for a Bateman Cousin Lore drop! After a girlhood spent people pleasing, the effervescently intelligent Margo Bateman is here to throw down. Listen up as she excavates the beauty algorithm's relentless investment in making us feel less than (though we're still buying), the tragedy of feeling represented in The Remains of the Day, fond memories of a little thing called Shanksgiving, and how blanking out on her dad's final words of wisdom is a clear sign of ADHD. So stop taking financial advise from nepo babies, and get all your DIY improvements from Margo instead.

Margo Bateman writes, directs and performs comedy; Paints and makes cartoons. She's a long time student of Astrology and professional bartender. Eagles fan. Go Birds!🦅🏈 Find her everywhere online @Averagelover69
