Welcome to Shallow Research - everyday pop culture and lifestyle recs from two Ph.D.'s in yoga pants. We're a nation of consumers, from media to macchiatos. But what's worth your time, money, and energy? We use our nerd powers of research, analysis, and synthesis to break down what makes our days a little brighter, aside from our scholarly pursuits. Listen to our hot takes on everything from Bravo TV to Oscar nominees as we share our favorite movies, shows, music, recipes, travel spots, beauty products, household goods - whatever shallow topics we feel like getting smart about!
