This summer we're revisiting some WGT Classics--episodes you loved so much, they deserve another listen.

We talk:

+ What causes acne in different periods of our lives

+ The ingredients lurking in your "natural" skin care products that could be clogging your pores

+ Hormones' impact on acne and skin health

+ How getting off birth control can impact your health

+ What panels and tests to ask your doctor for to get an idea of your overall health

She's thrown parties for the Pope, Beyonce, and world leaders from dozens of countries, so who better to ask for good party tips than the former White House social secretary?!

This week I'm joined on the pod by Deesha Dyer, who worked with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama on throwing ragers for some of the most important people on earth.

Not only do we talk about amazing party planning, but we also talk about how she went from a 31-year-old community college student to a staffer at the White House; the lessons she's learned about perseverance and staying true to yourself; the crazy party stories from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; and of course her tips to throw a party that even a President would love.

Check out Deesha's new book, Undiplomatic: How My Attitude Created the Best Kind of Trouble, on Amazon here and on Bookshop here.

Dr. Cyril Wecht, famed pathologist known for his work on cases including Casey Anthony; Scott Peterson; the Menendez brothers; Chandra Levy and most famously, his review of the Warren Commission report on the JFK assassination, has died at the age of 93.

In honor of a career that spanned decades and impacted thousands of people, I'm re-releasing my interview with him that I did after the release of his latest book, The JFK Assassination Dissected.

I had the opportunity to interview him multiple times over the course of my career, and was honored to reconnect with him after the release of this book.

If you're into "alternate theories" on what may have really happened with the JFK assassination, this episode is for you.
