Personality Hires

Comedy, Improv, Personal Journals, Society & Culture

Hey, we're Personality Hires - we somehow all got hired by one of the biggest radio shows in the country and then we became friends. Against our will, but hey, you can't control chemistry.

Personality Hires is the podcast that's basically your office breakroom banter, but better. You know that one cubicle neighbor who always has a wild story and the work group chat that’s hilarious, messy, and totally relatable?

That’s us - Abby, Jackson, Rebecca, and Mikey. We're not exactly hired for our technical skills, but we'll be damned if we don’t make your 9–5 worth getting out of bed for.

Each week, your favorite coworkers (ahem, us) will serve up slice-of-life stories, office gossip, jokes you probably shouldn’t make above a whisper, and takes on the news you didn’t know you needed...or really even cared about.

Whether we're roasting each other, oversharing about dating disasters, or revealing secrets that should get HR-called on us —we're the water cooler chat version of must see TV.

Bring Personality Hires into your car, kitchen, or especially into the cubicle you already hate being in. We're always on at your convenience (just like Slack, ugh) —making Mondays (and if we're being honest, every weekday) slightly less miserable.

  19. AI Fruit Soap Operas Are Taking Over TikTok...So We Made Our Own

    Show notes

    Have you fallen down the AI soap opera rabbit hole on TikTok yet?

    This week on Personality Hires, we react to the internet's latest obsession: bizarre AI-generated soap operas starring fruit, hairdryers, curling irons, and other random household objects. After watching some truly unhinged clips, we decide to prove humans are still funnier than AI by creating our own dramatic appliance soap opera, As The Kitchen Turns.

    We also discuss:
    Rebecca moving in with her boyfriend for one unexpected reason
    The challenge of convincing someone to watch Attack on Titan
    A very controversial Spirited Away tattoo decision
    The Studio Ghibli character Rebecca wants permanently tattooed on her body
    Jackson's bizarre Airbnb fire alarm encounter during a Colorado golf trip
    Why AI-generated content feels so weirdly addictive
