    Just The Gist of… The Murder of Selena Quintanilla

    In 1995, Selena Quintanilla was about to become one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Just 23 years old, she was already considered the Queen of Tejano music and was easily the most famous singer on the Latin-American charts. .People often said it wasn’t that she was ‘the Latin Madonna’ but that Madonna was ‘the English Selena’. She'd just played to a record 61,000 people at the Houston Astrodome in her home state of Texas, she'd won a Grammy, she was the face of Coca-Cola, and she was halfway through recording her first English-language pop album that was going to make her a household name everywhere, not just Texas. Until, one morning in March 1995, Selena was suddenly and shockingly murdered by the president of her fan club. .

    JTG MINI: Last Ditch - the covid conscious lesbian bar

    "I hope your venue gets firebombed." That was a real comment on a real Instagram post from a small lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts, announcing that one night a week, masks would be optional. The Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue opened in 2025 as a COVID-conscious, anti-capitalist bar where no one could be turned away, and it's now the subject of what has reportedly become the Boston Globe's most clicked story in a decade. This is Just The Gist (MINI!) of the Last Ditch lesbian bar: the $50,000 loan, the 400-comment Instagram post, the 3½ hour community meeting that fell apart on Zoom, and the co-founder who left to go to clown school. .

    BREAKIN' NOOZ: Channing Tatum has a sassy alter ego called 'Nonya Bidness'.

This week: The Elizabeth Holmes doco! 'You Can See Everything' is coming to cinemas next month and apparently she watches Hulu series 'The Dropout' ON CAMERA HOOK IT TO MY VEINS. Patrick Clancy and his new wife Rachel Danis did a 60 Minutes interview and who the hell is advising these people on PR because noooooooooooo. The Gisteners are clearly well trained in sourcing poo-related stories because about 95% of you messaged us about the Hyrox thing so yes we talk at length about the Hyrox thing. Is it more embarrassing that Channing Tatum uses his fake instagram to leave flattering comments about himself, or that his fake instagram is called 'Nonya Bidness'? You decide. OMG MELISSA MCCARTHY AS PATSY RAMSAY. Netflix released the first image from the new drama series 'The Murder of JonBenét Ramsay' and YES THANKS. It airs Dec 10 of this year.

    Just The Gist of… The Falling Man - 9/11's most haunting photo

    This month marks 25 years since 9/11, and of all the images to come out of that day, possibly the most haunting is one that was published the next morning and then quietly disappeared. Richard Drew's photo of a man falling headfirst beside the North Tower of the World Trade Center caused so much outrage when it ran on 12 September 2001 that newspapers stopped printing it almost overnight. Around 200 people fell from the Twin Towers that morning, but only one became a symbol, and journalists spent years trying to put a name to him. Should they have? This is Just The Gist of The Falling Man: the Associated Press photographer who captured every person he saw fall, the Windows on the World staff trapped above the fire, Tom Junod's 2003 Esquire story that became one of the magazine's most read ever, the search for his identity that reached the families of Norberto Hernandez and Jonathan Briley, and the widow who begged a reporter to clear her husband's name. .

    UNLOCKED BREAKIN' NOOZ: Lindsay Clancy Case Update

    We published our 'Just The Gist of The Lindsay Clancy Case' episode (you can listen to it here) a few weeks ago, and it very quickly became one of our most listened to eps ever. Now that the case has ended in a mistrial, we had a chat about it all on Just The Gist's weekly paid bonus show Breakin' Nooz - about where the case stands now, and the (mostly) respectful and thoughtful discussion the episode caused amongst our listeners, who both agreed and disagreed with each other, and our approach. Since this is a topic that resonated so significantly with so many gisteners, we decided to take the chat from this week's Breakin' Nooz and put it outside the paywall so anyone can listen. But please remember - this is JUST a chat! Breakin' Nooz is very conversational and casual in nature. If you're after the usual, comprehensive JTG-style coverage of the Lindsay Clancy case, definitely listen to the episode first. ...

    Just The Gist of… Dolly Parton

    Dolly Parton died last week at 80, and she may literally be the last universally loved person we’ll ever see. This is the whole story: the girl born in a one-room shack in the Smoky Mountains with no electricity and 11 siblings, who wrote her first song at five, played the Grand Ole Opry at 13, and moved to Nashville the day after she graduated high school (where she met her husband of 60 years at a laundromat, on her first ever go at a washing machine). The Porter Wagoner years, 'Jolene', the resignation letter that became 'I Will Always Love You', '9 to 5', Dollywood, and the quietly enormous philanthropy: the Imagination Library that has given away over 330 million books, the Moderna vaccine money, the children's hospital that now carries her name, and the fact she was secretly a producer on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. Musical genius, business brain, and possibly the most generous person in American entertainment history. Also a great flirt. .
