"Sunglasses on the Subway" | Observing

Author: My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts April 23, 2026 Duration: 31:26

Welcome back!! Look over here!! This week, Stephanie and Melissa dive into the art of observing. And it is an ~art~. People watching, eavesdropping, reading the room. This all takes skill and practice — and our girls? They're experts. Tune in to hear why Steph's favorite spot to people watch is the TSA line (where people might possibly show their truest selves) and Melissa confesses her staring problem. Featuring: Accidentally staring at Rami Malek's crotch on set, the sacred Parisian art of flaneurie and a thespian inquiry into Julie Louis-Dreyfus's Little Kicks. See you on the promenade!

You know that conversation you have with your closest friend, the one that swings from deeply personal struggles to absurd observations about a grocery store encounter? That’s the space More Better with Stephanie & Melissa occupies every week. Real-life friends and actors Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero, known for their roles on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, bring their authentic, hilarious, and supportive dynamic straight to your ears. This isn’t a structured advice show; it’s the sound of two amigas figuring it out as they go, and inviting you along for the ride. They tackle the messy, beautiful, and often ridiculous aspects of modern life-from parenting and career pivots to cultural identity and just getting through the day. The heart of this podcast is in their unwavering friendship, where they genuinely help each other navigate challenges, aiming for that “more better” version of themselves. Listeners are essentially eavesdropping on a priceless, laughter-filled phone call where the cheat codes for adulting are shared alongside vulnerable confessions and uncontrollable giggles. Produced by My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts, the show lives in the rich intersection of Society and Culture, exploring how personal stories connect to bigger pictures. Tune in for a weekly dose of camaraderie that feels like a much-needed hangout, guaranteed to leave you feeling a bit more seen and a lot more better.
