    Justin Bieber: From teen idol to pop music survivor

    This week, we’re diving into the life and career of Justin Bieber: the YouTube discovery that changed pop forever, the rise of Bieber Fever, the teen idol machine that made him one of the biggest stars in the world, and the very public growing pains that followed. From My World and Never Say Never to Believe, Purpose, the Selena Gomez years, tabloid chaos, Hillsong, arrests, reinvention, Hailey Baldwin-turned-Bieber, health struggles and his complicated relationship with fame, we unpack how Justin became both a generational pop phenomenon and a cautionary tale about what happens when a child star has to grow up in front of everyone. It's a lot, but it may change your view.

    REWIND: How Anne Hathaway got labelled a ‘try-hard,’ with Alex Sujong Laughlin

    This week, as The Devil Wears Prada 2 reigns in theatres, revisit a recent episode from our archives! In this episode, we take on one of our favourites: Anne Hathaway, and with a very special guest: Alex Sujong Laughlin, the co-creator of Normal Gossip and host of pod Try Hard! Speaking of, that's what this episode is all about: how Anne went from America’s Princess™ to “try-hard” punching bag to the girlfriend of an all-time scammer and, finally, a beloved icon. It's a singular trajectory, and one we dig deep into.

    Hot Off The Press: Dissecting Lena Dunham's Famesick

    We decided to speed-read Lena Dunham's new memoir and tell our listeners all about it. Our verdict? The gossip in Famesick is juicier than a ripe peach, so we're examining every delicious detail. Does Lena believe her ex Jack Antonoff had an affair with Lorde? What was Adam Driver like on the set of Girls (Spoiler: pretty sketchy), and why did she stop working with writing partner Jenni Conner? Don't bother pouring yourself a cup of tea while listening to this episode, because Famesick is full of it! It's also a gorgeously written book that reminds us of humour and insight that first brought Lena into the spotlight. This might be one of the most millennial books ever written...  🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like:JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette: Inside the true, tragic love storyHot Off The Press; Lindy West's Polyamory Drama, ExplainedThe Many Scandals of Bachelor Nation 🔗 Once you're done listening, why not subscribe to our Patreon here?

    REWIND: Does Lena Dunham deserve yet another comeback?

    While we take a little break this week, revisit this episode from the archives, in which we discuss the many scandals of one Lena Dunham, the frequently problematic, award-winning writer, filmmaker and actor. Although she has managed to piss off just about every community at some point in time, she did create the seminal series Girls — so, does she deserve a return? Is she truly a voice of a generation? Especially with her recent new series Too Much, and her brand new memoir Famesick out this month?

    Hot Off The Press: Summer House’s West & Amanda affair, explained

    This week, we’re exploring more reality TV drama, as Sadaf explains what is happening with Summer House's latest scandal to a perplexed Sarah. Later, we theorize on Amanda and West's motivations for confessing to their affair, and we also dissect how Ciara is moving forward in the wake of what some are referring to as "Scamanda." Whether you watch Summer House (like Sadaf) or constantly confuse it with Jersey Shore (like Sarah), this discussion is mandatory listening for anyone who wants to understand the Zeitgeist...         📚 For further reading:"'Summer House' Drama Explained," Katie Simons, The LA Times "The Hypocrisy of The Reality TV Scandal," Louis Staples, Harper's Bazaar 🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like:Real Housewives: inside reality TV's most powerful empire, with Laura HensleyThe wildest cheating scandals, from the Try Guys to the Wiggles, with Taylor Lindsay-NoelHot Off The Press: Lindy West's Polyamory Drama Explained 🔗 Once you're done listening, why not subscribe to our Patreon here?

    The many scandals of Bachelor Nation

    This week, we’re diving into the MOST DRAMATIC TV FRANCHISE EVER! That's right, it's an episode on Bachelor Nation. From The Bachelor and Bachelorette to spinoffs like Bachelor in Paradise, we discuss the reasons why this franchise is plagued by scandal. We also ask whether the producers actually invite it (it seems likely the answer is yes). After all, these are the people who cast Taylor Frankie Paul despite knowing about her 2023 brush with the law.  From Kaitlyn Bristowe hooking up with Nick Viall before Fantasy Suites to the show's tendency to cast people who turn out to be predators, this episode dissects the dirty details of Bachelor Nation's most scandalous moments. We also offer our perspective on why so many self-identified feminists (including Allison Williams) love the show - and whether or not we should... 📚 For further reading:Bachelor Nation, Amy Kaufman, 2018Kaitlyn and Nick Hook Up Before Fantasy Suites, 2015 🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like:Real Housewives: inside reality TV's most powerful empire, with Laura HensleyThe wildest cheating scandals, from the Try Guys to the Wiggles, with Taylor Lindsay-NoelJeffrey Epstein: Everything you need to know 🔗 Once you're done listening, why not subscribe to our Patreon here?

    Hot Off The Press: Lindy West’s polyamory drama explained

    In this week's Hot Off The Press, we unpack the internet’s fixation on Lindy West’s new memoir and the intense backlash to her revelations about polyamory, marriage, and power dynamics, along with the viral fallout, including a shocking email. We also break down the abrupt cancellation of Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette season after a resurfaced video reignited concerns about reality TV vetting and accountability, and end on a lighter (but no less obsessive) note with Leighton Meester teasing a possible return of Blair Waldorf — and what a millennial reboot of Gossip Girl could actually look like. 📚 For further reading:Slate: "Lindy West’s How-Not-To Guide to Polyamory"Slate's ICYMI Podcast: "Why The Internet Is Arguing About Its Favourite Feminist" 🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like:JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette: Inside the true, tragic love storyThe wildest cheating scandals, from the Try Guys to the Wiggles, with Taylor Lindsay-NoelThe many scandals and stories surrounding Gossip Girl 🔗 Once you're done listening, why not subscribe to our Patreon here?
