“We’re beyond excited to launch Para Pods with QCODE,” said Em Schulz and Christine Schiefer, co-founders of And That’s Why We Drink. “This network is about more than podcasting—it’s about building a supportive, creative community where everyone’s voice matters. We can’t wait to see what grows from this.”

Known for their unfiltered humor, deep connection with their audience, and willingness to talk about everything from mental health to motherhood to the absurdities of life, the show perfectly embodies the Para Pods spirit: honest, human, and a little bit chaotic in the best way.
