About this listen

When two childhood best friends blow up their respective romantic relationships, they make a time-sensitive pact: serial-cheater Chuck cannot sleep with anyone as she attends a three-month-long recovery group for cheaters, while sex-deprived Sofia vows to hook up with as many people as possible before recommitting to monogamy and tying the knot with her long-time fiancé.

To keep things interesting, Chuck and Sofia decide to revive a past tradition from their summer camp days—also known as the dawning of sluthood. Just as when they were tweens, they must report back to each other with every juicy detail of their vivid and salacious exploits.

As the pact brings their friendship closer than ever, their intimacy with one another becomes both uplifting and debilitating. As wounds, misbehaviors, and co-dependencies surface, Chuck and Sofia must navigate blurred boundaries in order to help each other rediscover themselves at a pivotal moment.

An adventure in self discovery

From excellent sound design with an immersive story about two young women who were childhood friends reconnect and make a pact. One to explore her sexual needs the other to abstain. Such a fun story with some great laugh out loud moments. Would love to listen to more fun stories like this!

Fabulous on so many levels

Very Unbecoming is brilliant and thoughtfully written, and the production was about the best I have heard. I laughed out loud so frequently. Underneath it all is a fun, beautiful story. Looking for more productions by Fresh Produce!

Dnf

I can’t handle ASMR, and unexpectedly this has a lot. The girl who does it also has mannerisms that made it impossible to listen on. The story was interesting and while I am curious about the rest, the second smacking, crunching episode drew the line.

The food chomping is horrible

Horrible having her chomp food during her podcast. The sound is awful and I have to skip that each time. No one wants to listen to that

Hilarious

modern look at if a man and woman were to change places. the man going from the serial cheater/sex addict to celibate, i.e Chuck. then the woman being inexperienced with few partners to a total slut, i.e Sophie.

Laughing down memory lane


I loved this. Felt like I was right there with these two friends, with Sofia's hilarious and blunt mom, the various characters who all come to life. As a more visual than audio type, I was surprised by how easy it was to "see" them all.
Very funny dialogue. Very evocative and dead on. And a perfect premise. I'm definitely eager to know what happens next.
