The You You Are: A Severance Podcast

🎶So Baby… why don’t you just meet me in the middle?! We’re losing our minds… just a little…🎶

We reached the mid-section of the fine body of work that is season 2 of Severance! And since our Refined Hosts Kali and Rodnesha never miss leg day - this episode we made sure to put in WERK to deliver a strong breakdown this week’s episode. 

Now, a lot of our crew this episode believe that some things are better left unsaid, but we believe it’s time for everyone to LISTEN AND DON’T JUDGE! Mark, talk to Helly. Dylan, talk to Mark! Mark, talk to Devon! Ricken talk to ANYONE but Natalie! Milchick, talk to Lumon and tell them where they can put their tone-deaf paintings! And someone tell that whistling man to start talking about lies beneath that exports hall!!

Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for the ride of your brief Innie life!!

🎶 It's so haaaaard to say goodbyyyyyye to Mrs. Selviiiiiiiiig. 🎶

Grab your over-baked Lavendar cookies and a cup of lukewarm herbal tea so you can join our Refined Hosts Rodnesha Green and Kali Thomas, as we raise a glass and say farewell to the Cooky-est, Snoopy-est lady on the block!

We'll also check in with our Outtie friends and see how they are faring in the aftermath of the OTC . Irving plays "Telephone" while Dylan searches for a new "9 to 5". Mark tries to convince Devon to "Let it Be", while Helena suffers her father's wrath, but does everything she can to "Shake It Off.

And, fresh off a promotion, Milchick sadly spends his days off "Chasing Pavements".

🔥 *AFTER 2 LONG YEARS, SEVERANCE IS BACK BABY!* 🔥

Your Refined Hosts, Kali Thomas and Rodnesha Green, invite you to join them as we dive headfirst into the Season 2 premier, and trust us, a lot at Lumon has changed.

Mark S. finds himself navigating a remodeled Severed floor, new team dynamics, and a surprisingly creepy new orientation video. The MDR crew is scattered—but not for long—as Mark fights to bring back the team we know and love. Along the way, we meet some new faces (hello, Ms. Huang and Mark W.), witness bold acts of rebellion, and dissect the chilling aftermath of the Macrodat Uprising.

Join us for:

✨ Scene-by-scene breakdowns

✨ Spirited banter (and wild theories!)

✨ A thorough investigation into whether Ms. Huang might be scarier than Mr. Milchick 👀

Plus: What’s the deal with those posters? Is Dylan’s belt grudge justified? And is Mark secretly working on… Ms. Casey?!

🎙️ Tune in now!

**pssst** Hey...There’s a secret letter that was secretly dropped in secret, but not really because it was done so on a very public platform, but concerned secret details about secret stuff that happens on the severed floor… secretly. 

On this Very Special Episode, our refined hosts Rodnesha and Kali learn a valuable lesson about the importance of getting in touch with one’s inner side… especially when that side is being tormented and begging you to escape!

This episode we dive into the specially released content from Season 1  “The Lexington Letter”, as we make yet another attempt to peel back the layers of this stinky onion called Lumon!

WE DID IT! We made it to the end of the mysterious and important work of Season 1! 

Our refined hosts Kali and Rodnesha realize that even though we’ve come a mighty long way… tis a long, winding road ahead that we must endure. The same goes for our heroes Mark, Helly, Dylan and Irving as they “sally forth” into the great unknown beyond the walls of Lumon. Or, as we like to call it, “Innie’s Day Out”!

As Rod and Kali put in work to recount and commend the exciting events of this fateful night, we are reminded by the words of Kier to “Endow in each swing of our ax or swipe of our pen the sum of our affections…”. Which, is easily achieved with a show we’ve come to love so much! 

This Episode’s Themes Include: Gal’s at Gala’s, How to Succeed at Book Readings Without Really Trying, The Mystery Box, Caftans on the Move, Is Blood Thicker Than Coffee?, Parking Cars: For Dummies, and IT’S… ALIVE!

Ready or not... here we come for another episode! 

In this week’s episode our hosts, Kali and Rodnesha, decide to poke around a bit more into the external lives of some of our beloved refiners as they SEEK the truth of what Lumon tries to hide.
But most importantly, they unilaterally agree that they need to do is stage a dating intervention for Alexa the Doula. It’s ok to occasionally go for the Bad Boy, but the SAD BOI?? Come one girl, you can do better!

***TRIGGER WARNING*** (This is episode involves the discussion and depiction of an attempted suicide.) 

Paintings and cabins and goats… oh my! 

Tis a GRIM fairytale indeed that our Refined Hosts opt to unpack, as Kali and Rodnesha are forced to return to the Severed floor like a part-time employee who’s run out of sick days… or like Helly (yikes).
But much like the clarion call of a baby goat, our grievances will NOT be ignored! Join us as we discuss and deliberate art, wealth, transparency and… WHERE WAS JUDD!?!

***TRIGGER WARNING*** (This is episode involves the discussion and depiction of an attempted suicide.) 

And just like that… our podcast name reveals itself. 

Inspired by the words of intrepid author Dr. Ricken Lazlo, Rodnesha and Kali do some soulful introspection both of each other and our newly-knit Lumon Family. And even though there are some Refiners who aren’t so keen on being a part of this Severed family tree (not even with a razor to their throat), the question becomes - how far will they go… to GET OUT!
Topics for this episode include: death metal… vending machine cuisine… elevator doors… funeral do’s and don’ts… acrostics… splitting hairs… and time theft!

It's Field Trip Day over in Lumon-Land! Rodnesha and Kali have packed their sack lunches and brought money for souvenirs as we journey with the MDR team down to the Perpetuity Wing of the severed floor.

Helly struggles to find purpose (don't we all), Mark deals with the fallout of Petey's reunion, and WE continue to ask the questions that need be asked, like, "Why doesn't Lumon offer an indoctrination orientation?! " (Just feels like it would help Innies buy in with less resistance.)

Anyway, grab a BINGO card and your favorite pen cap and join us a we digest another layer of this ever blooming onion we call SEVERANCE!

Here we go again! It’s a confusing time for our Refined Hosts Rodnesha and Kali as they try to make sense of where the Outtie ends and the Innie begins. In this episode’s recap, we find out more about Helly R. and the Innie formerly known as Petey and boy are these two rocking Mark’s world! 

Who is Helly R.? Why is Petey having such a rough time with re-integration? What the heck is Optics & Design up to? Can Mark and Alexa find a way to make it work? And… what’s your favorite Scary Number?? We answer all this and more - down on the Severed Floor!
