About this episode
Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark!We are Virginia Sole-Smith and Corinne Fay, and it's time for our annual Ins & Outs Episode! This is what we do every New Year, instead of making resolutions or setting problematic body change goals. It's deeply unserious but still satisfies that urge to reflect and make some (fun) plans for the year to come! Listen to hear... ?? The pants Virginia forgot she was wearing. ??

VirginiaI think we've only officially done it once before? But it now feels to me like a Burnt Toast institution.CorinneYes, and that institution is called Ins and Outs.VirginiaIns and Outs for the new year, because it is 2026!CorinneIt's our little way of ringing in the new year and talking about what we're feeling right now. It's not a resolution. It really is a snapshot of what we're thinking at any moment in time.VirginiaWhenever we happen to make the list. I like it because it's the epitome, to me, of anti-diet resolution culture. It's really just: These are things I love. These are things I'm done with. I suppose you could do a diet-y version of this. But we don't, and we encourage you not to.CorinneAnd I think we'll see, perhaps, as we look back at some of ours from last year, how fleeting some of these really can be. VirginiaWhich is the fun of it. So you brought this concept into all of our lives. And I'm very grateful to you, because I do like having a New Year's ritual. The part of my brain that gets excited for New Year, fresh start, blah, blah, blah. That part of my brain that likes new pencils and whatnot, is like, oh, good. I have a thing to do.CorinneI feel like in past years people have done ins and outs like on Instagram. Like they would just do them in their notes app
