The podcast, The Comment Section with Drew Afualo has reached the 100th episode milestone.
If you're not a listener, in every episode, Drew Afualo and a new weekly guest explore the dreaded comment section of their tagged videos on TikTok.
On the podcast, the host and her guests will comb through their war zone comment sections together while discussing the themes of racism, misogyny, and bigotry that arise.
The comments section on any social media platform is a dumpster fire of rage, hate, racism, misogyny, and conspiracy theories born of extremism and fueled by fringe media outlets pandering to their base.
Drew Afualo, best known as TikTok’s “Crusader or Women,” is a part of the new Hollywood's next generation of rising stars. From her witty content to her no—BS approach to shoveling misogyny out of the TikTok app via viral takedowns, Drew is taking female empowerment to new levels.
Drew Afualo's primary goal when creating content is to empower women of all backgrounds, from color, size, race, and everyone in between, to gain the confidence to stand up for themselves and others.
Quickly being recognized as a trailblazer within the
industry, Afualo was named an honoree of META’s inaugural Creators of Tomorrow list.
Drew Afualo has also stepped into the world of entertainment by launching two media platforms —a new show called The Comment Section with Drew Afualo and Two Idiot Girls, the latter of which is a podcast she co-hosts with her sister Deison Afualo.
Afualo is also a women’s advocate, a proud Samoan who often uplifts her heritage and others in the AAPI community, she’s a huge sports fan (she used to work for the NFL), and a fashionista on the rise.
Some of my favorite guests in those 100 episodes included comedian Matt Bellassai when he and Afualo discussed red carpet sweat horror stories; Tony Statovci joking about odd celebrity encounters and TSA miscues; and singer Meghan Trainor.
I like the concept of a milestone episode that offers listeners some of the best moments. Some of Afualo's chosen moments were hysterical and insightful. Yet I keep wondering how much better the episode could have been if they had taken the time to do a preamble before every snippet so we knew who the guest was or what was the topic of the conversation. A milestone episode can be an opportunity to attract new listeners. It's like a greatest hits album in music.
Check out the 100th episode. Even missing some context, it's a fun listen from a talented woman.
