Host Kelsey McKinney discusses reader-submitted comedic gossip with guests, diving into the lives and decisions of complete strangers. The second-hand truth really is stranger than fiction. Produced by Alex Sujong Laughlin. Show art by Tara Jacoby.

Customer Reviews
One of my favorite podcasts
Hilarious & always entertaining. You will not regret listening to this podcast.
I found you!
So glad I read the Philadelphia Inquirer this morning and read the article about you! I LOVE this podcast- your voice is wonderful, the music is jazzy and your guests are compelling. Can’t wait to binge!!
Started out great but…
Like others have stated, the stories changed in the 2nd and 3rd seasons, they are not as juicy. Also, please please PLEASE fix your “likes”! The narrator has a great voice for podcasts because she is very enthusiastic but her constant use of “like” every couple seconds makes her sound less articulate and intelligent.
