True Mocktails

Princess | Thirsty Homebody

True Mocktails is where good drinks meet even better stories. Hosted by Princess, aka Thirsty Homebody, each episode pairs a delicious mocktail with the kind of conversation that sends you straight down a rabbit hole in history, pop culture, strange stories, true crime, womanhood and whatever else we're curious about that week. Grab a drink, get comfortable and come think, laugh and sip with us. Welcome, drinkers and thinkers!
