Susie starts off the show with a light-hearted look at vagina steaming. What's that, you ask? According to actress Gweneth Paltrow, the way it works is that you "sit on, essentially, a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleans your uterus." This is an Americanized version of a centuries-old Korean tradition called chai-yok, and Susie loves to indulge in this spa treatment. She reads from a humorous essay by Laura Hopper Beck on the author's experience with one of these cleanses.

On today's show, Susie invites artist Raquel Cool into the studio for an interview sure to surprise you.
