Their podcast, Giggly Squad, feels like calling your best friend for a long overdue catch-up. No topic is off limits. No subject too small.

Sprinkled with inside jokes and Hannah and Paige's riotous humor, How to Giggle feels like you're at a slumber party with your besties giving you juicy advice on sex, flirting, and social media etiquette. You'll find the nostalgia of your teen magazines with fun, interactive quizzes, and tips like finding your personal style and wellness hacks.
