EmbarrassmentIs Our Entertainment.

Hosted by Gabriela, Amy, and Lena, three friends bonded by cringe-worthy moments and embarrassing stories. When people kept saying, "You should do a podcast—I'd listen," they decided to take the hint. So they grabbed some microphones and got to work.

Submit your most cringe-worthy moment. If it's bad enough, we'll read it on air.

Meet the Hosts

Gabriela

Gabriela

Part charm, part chaos, 100% certified.

Mom to twin boys, married 27 years, and happiest when laughing with friends. Also certifiably awkward: part charm, part chaos, and 100% capable of laughing at exactly the wrong moment. If awkwardness were a professional certification, she'd proudly display it on her wall — slightly crooked, name misspelled, and absolutely no intention of fixing either.

Amy

Amy

Single at 50 and collecting cringe one first date at a time.

After three decades in a relationship, Amy found herself single at 50 and facing a terrifying new milestone: a first date. Longtime self-proclaimed shy-girl, she is officially shedding her shell — and collecting plenty of awkward stories along the way. Luckily she doesn't have to face the cringe-worthy moments alone. She's sharing every hilarious misstep with her best friend of 50 years, ensuring they laugh through the chaos together.

Lena

Lena

Multilingual, multicultural, spectacularly clumsy.

At 29, this Japanese-and-Korean flute player grew up on military bases and lived in Hawaii until age 24. Multilingual, multicultural, and currently thriving in her single era after a history of exclusive long-term relationships. Lena loves nothing more than a deep laugh and a good cringe-worthy story — usually involving her latest trip or fall — right alongside her partners in crime, Gabriela and Amy.
