Mic'd and Medicated: Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert

Di: Eva Heyman & Caroline Leventhal
Ascolta gratuitamente

You have thought it. We said it. Out loud. On a microphone. For everyone.

Mic'd and Medicated is Caroline and Eva — two married moms in New York City who refuse to pretend everything is fine. Every week they sit on the couch and get into the conversations most women are having in their heads but nowhere else. Marriage. Motherhood. Ambition. Aging. Identity. Politics. Sex. Money. The things you think about at 2AM that you would never say at a dinner party.

They overshare on purpose. Because every time they say the thing nobody is supposed to say, someone writes in and says — I thought I was the only one. You are not the only one. That is the whole point.

Guests range from reproductive endocrinologists to celebrity jewelers to politicians to parenting experts who are also, like everyone else, completely figuring it out as they go.

Funny. Honest. Occasionally chaotic. Always real.

This is not a podcast for women who have it together. This is a podcast for women who are done pretending they do.

New episodes every Thursday. Unfiltered. Unafraid. Unexpert.

  • Napa Valley Winemaker Ashley Hepworth: Wine Tips, In-Laws & Being the Family Shiksa
    Aug 27 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Award-winning Napa Valley winemaker Ashley Hepworth joins Mic'd and Medicated to talk wine tasting tips, how to order wine at a restaurant, and 23 years working at Joseph Phelps Winery. Ashley — who also happens to be Caroline's sister-in-law — walks us through her path from Charlie Trotter's kitchen in Chicago to launching her own wine labels, A Bloom rosé and AH Wine (Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon). Plus: growing up outdoorsy in Denver, marrying into a Jewish family as a self-described "1% Jewish shiksa," and surviving chaotic in-law family dinners. A conversation about wine, identity, and family — unfiltered, unafraid, unexpert.

    We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.

    We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.

  • Is Your Family More Cleavers or Bunkers? Family Dynamics, In-Laws & The Surrendered Wife
    Aug 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Every family is dysfunctional — the only question is whether you know it. This week, Eva and Caroline dig into family dynamics: the TV families they wished were theirs growing up, the ones that actually were, and the strangers-turned-in-laws they each married into.

    They cover imprinting (why your childhood home leaves fingerprints on every relationship after it), the New York Times "Surrendered Wife" article that nearly ended their friendship, a highlight reel of meeting each other's in-laws for the first time, and a round of questions they asked each other that neither could dodge.

    0:00 Intro: Is Your Family a Sitcom? (Birdcage Edition)
    2:00 Word of the Week: Imprinting
    12:00 Every Family Is Dysfunctional
    22:00 The Surrendered Wife
    30:00 Meeting the In-Laws
    38:00 Quickfire Q&A
    57:00 Book of the Week & Mic Drop

  • Samantha Ettus: Raising Zionists, Losing Friends, and Refusing to Stay Quiet
    Aug 13 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Bestselling author, activist, and mom of three Samantha Ettus joins us to talk about parenting teenagers, losing her home in the Palisades fire, and the moment on October 8th that turned a women's-empowerment influencer into one of the most outspoken Jewish voices online.

    We get into raising kids who are proud Zionists, why she says "vote the candidate, not the party," her take on where DEI left Jews out of the conversation, and what she wishes every parent understood about the phone-addicted teenage years. Unfiltered, unafraid, unexpert — as always.

    1:30 – Parenting teens: "little kids, little problems, big kids, big problems"
    9:35 – The two kinds of working parents
    14:11 – October 7th: the day everything changed
    23:00 – DEI, Islamophobia, and the Jewish blind spot
    34:12 – The Jewish population myth
    40:56 – "I'm not a party girl": vote the candidate, not the party
    52:35 – Losing her home in the Palisades fire — and showing up anyway
    57:19 – The Roger Waters confrontation
    1:01:54 – Setting the record straight on Mamdani and Jewish voters
    1:06:14 – Book recommendations & closing thoughts
