Ashnikko Does It For Her Inner Child

Good Children is a comedy podcast hosted by childhood best friends Joe Hegyes and Andrew Muscarella. It’s a conversation born from a shared past of trying to be perfect, of chasing approval and gold stars, and now navigating the weird, often hilarious fallout of that upbringing. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair between two friends who are finally letting their guard down, unpacking the anxieties and performative habits that stick around long after the report cards are gone. They talk about the mundane pressures of adult life-the instinct to suck in your stomach, both literally and metaphorically-with a warmth and humor that comes from decades of knowing each other’s secrets. This isn’t a lecture on self-improvement; it’s a weekly, laugh-filled excavation of what it means to have been a “good” kid and the messy, ongoing work of figuring out who you are after that. Produced in collaboration with Studio71 and Confetti Cannon, the podcast finds comedy in the relatable tension between who we were raised to be and the people we actually are, one candid, meandering conversation at a time.
