Still. Real.
Podcast Description
What happens when two, multi-hyphenate creative entrepreneurs and storytellers hold vigil for the unseen in each other, to be seen as they truly are, to do for themselves what they do every day for their clients and patrons. We touch on the awkwardness and ugliness of camera, stage, and conventional business, the legacy of being an ageless elder, and the beautiful ways we summon the muse and the Divine reveals. With four decades of combined experience, Shelby Ring, the filmmaker-bard, and Ushi Patel, the designer-poet-strategist, invite you to be felt and held as you are. This is Still. Real.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes

The focus areas include the emotional complexities of being on camera, embracing one’s sensitivity as a superpower, and the healing power of radical self-compassion.
Welcome to court, you beautifully broken degenerates. The Tendie Hearts Club is a video experience where raw heartbreak meets 16th-century pomp meets being a tender ( tendie* ) sort of person in 2026. Clad in giant Elizabethan wigs and fueled by zero impulse control, we stand for radical emotional hygiene through total absurdity. Your darkest seasons, your foulest moods, and your deepest grief are far too heavy for modern corporate platitudes—they demand high theater. We champion the right to do your worst today so you can actually do your best tomorrow. Hear the poetry. Feel the madness.
Adjust your velvet lapels, summon the champagne-steward, and mind your step on the pristine linen upholstery.
This week at the Tendie Hearts Club, Lady Galentine and the dashing Lord Clementine return to the drawing-room to inspect the domestic archives of his Lordship’s upbringing. Moving past the question of whether he hails from an Iguana-keeping household, Lord Clementine reveals a childhood spent alongside the eccentric fauna of the Canis Labradorus region.
We document the incredible field log of Cassie, a larger-styled black canine who operated as a magnificent escape artist and contortionist. Bypassing the garden perimeter, Cassie initiated a daring raid on a neighboring estate’s pantry, consuming a massive allotment of curious dark-chocolate-and-cream biscuits, enjoying a refreshing plunge in the family pool, and ending her caper fast asleep upon the neighbor's finest white linen sofa.
The investigation dives deep into the anatomical lineage of Cassie's daughter, Libby—a creature built with a permanent, joyful smile—before concluding with a rigorous, looking-glass breakdown of the ”Oreo” biscuit, a crunchy-creamy marvel of mixed consistency that leaves Lady Galentine uncharacteristically coy and calling for more bubbly lubrication.
