MAFS: Are We The Problem? Iheart Awards And The Labubu Murder Mystery Film

What should the plot of the upcoming Labubu movie be? Are chia seeds making a comeback, or did they never really leave? And HOW can Hannah Montana be commemorating a 20-year anniversary when we have not aged a day? These are just some of the pressing questions Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are asking in the latest episode of The WHO Group Chat. First up, the ladies are chatting all about the iHeartRadio Music Awards and comparing how to best learn the lyrics to songs. Plus, with the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special finally upon us, Celia is reminiscing about the cutest pre-teen habit we all need to bring back immediately, if not sooner. Next up, we pay tribute to the lovely Mel Schilling from MAFS, following the tragic news of her death at the age of just 53. Our hearts are with her family and friends, and it’s safe to say she will be sorely, sorely missed. While we’re on the topic of MAFS, we are delivering a brutally honest review of the 2026 season and debating who is to blame for this mess we are in. Can we pin it on the cast? Or are we the problem? You decide. And, if unboxing a Labubu or hanging one off your bag is not enough for you, Lyndsey and Celia have some ideas for what the movie about the cheeky little monsters should be about and, tbh, it’s freaking terrifying. Plus our Lifestyle Editor Madi joins us to talk about the charm of chia seeds - legit health hack or TikTok trickery? You’ll have to tune in to find out. So grab your chia water (or something stronger) and join us in the one group chat you will not want to mute. Listen now and bring your own opinions.

Coachella: Should 'Gig Goulash' Be a Thing and Are You Being 'Roster Dated' Right Now?

This week on WHO Group Chat, we’re asking the real questions with WHO's editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Editor Celia Whitley Is Coachella still a music festival or just Influencer Fashion Week with a cover charge? Why are we paying a week’s rent to eat awkward “gourmet” goulash in a plastic cup? And is “roster dating” actually self‑care, or just chaos in a cute outfit? Celia and Lyndsey start at Coachella 2026, breaking down the Bieber/Sabrina Carpenter/Karol G lineup, the Vanessa‑Hudgens‑core fashion hangover, and whether Coachella has officially been priced into scam territory. Then it’s time for an unhinged but necessary investigation into gig food: what’s acceptable to eat in a crowd, and what should be banned forever? We also detour into our spiralling obsession with JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy (plus the TV series Love Story), and why we cannot stop romanticising impossibly chic, probably doomed couples. Lifestyle editor Madi drops in to explain “roster dating” (seeing multiple people at once on purpose), including how to tell someone they’re not your only Tuesday and what happens when you get ghosted by the same guy twice. If you’ve ever posted a festival photo, double-guessed your outfit, eaten something cursed at a gig, or panic-texted a “just so you know, I’m seeing other people” message, this episode is for you. Listen now and bring your own opinions.

WitchTok to the Oscars: And the Strange New Era of Timothée Chalamet

In this episode, WHO's editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Editor Celia Whitley kick off with awards season reaching its final act, and the group chat has notes. This week, we’re diving headfirst into the beautiful chaos that happens right before the Oscars: predictions, snubs, and the performances everyone is pretending they’ve already seen. Somewhere in the middle of it all sits Hollywood’s most intriguing leading man right now - Timothée Chalamet, whose reputation as an artsy, slightly aloof indie darling is suddenly colliding with a very public pop-culture moment where he's been offending everyone from Opera singers to the ballet. What's a man to do to salvage that reputation...if in doubt, call a Kardashian. Is he still the poetic, cigarette-smoking film nerd? Or is he entering his blockbuster, Kylie adjacent, internet era villain arc? You decide in the chat. We unpack it all. But that’s just the beginning. Moments you'll hear: We review the gothic fever dream that is The Bride and whether it lives up to the hype. Tom Holland and Zendaya's secret wedding. We discuss the growing celebrity trend of extreme privacy secret weddings, silent relationships, and stars deciding what they don’t owe the public. And finally: Witches. BRING. IT. ON. Specifically, the rise of the modern witch and the wildly popular corner of the internet known as WitchTok, where tarot, moon rituals, manifestation and aesthetic chaos are suddenly very mainstream. The group chat has thoughts. Obviously. Listen now and bring your own opinions! Welcome to your favourite new Group Chat .. mixed by WHO, stirred by you, we hope you enjoy! 💬✨ 👀 See More: Tom and Zendaya got married The Timothee and Kylie timeline Are we about to start dating robots?

Bridgerton Blasphemy, Rib Flares and the Crime 101 Brutally Real Film Review

Bridgerton hot takes, toxic body trends and a very heated debate about how long a movie should actually be? Add to queue immediately. In this episode of The Group Chat with WHO, Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley unpack the latest TikTok obsession with “flared ribs,” why it feels like the new (very unwanted) thigh gap trend, and what an actual expert says about it so we can all calm down and log off. Then we go head to head over Bridgerton (Lyndsey has never seen a single episode, scandal), before spiralling into a passionate argument about the perfect film length: tight 90 minutes versus epic 2.5‑hour escape. You decide. Come for the pop culture recs, stay for the millennial bodycheck nostalgia and the group chat energy your work teams had. This is a podcast for anyone who is chronically online and chaotically addicted to pop culture. If your version of self-care includes catching up on the latest scandals and showmances that have everyone talking, we are definitely the group chat you want to join.

In this episode of The Group Chat, WHO Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley take you on a full feelings roller coaster: from grieving James Van Der Beek and unleashing the frustration around America’s broken healthcare system to rewatching America’s Next Top Model through a 2026 lens and realising it was way less “fashion fairy tale,” way more humiliation TV. You’ll hear them unpack the wildest moments from the new ANTM documentary (race‑swapping, glamorised eating disorders, and that brutal Shandi cheating storyline), debate whether reality shows have actually learned anything about caring for their contestants, and then pivot to a bit of Hilary Duff fangirling, MAFS clout‑chasers, and why grown up hobbies might be the real antidote to a happier lifestyle.

If your version of self-care includes catching up on the latest scandals and showmances that have everyone talking, we are definitely the group chat you want to join. In episode four, WHO Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are losing it over the release of Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model and wondering if shows like this even exist anymore. They also have some gripes about the first assigned book for their book club, and are wondering just how author Frieda McFadden has time to write so many books AND be a practising doctor! Meanwhile, if coveting cabbages was on your 2026 bingo card, then... we have questions, tbh. But, also, you'll want to hear what Lifestyle Editor Madison Bogisch has to say about the trend (and recession indicator) we never saw coming. So, grab a tea or something stronger, and join us in The Group Chat. The Group Chat the show mixed by WHO and stirred by you, 🎧You’ll hear: America’s Next Top Model in 2026: the new doco, Tyra’s “we took it too far” era, and why a show that once worshipped size‑0 bodies could never be made now. Watching old reality TV through a “woke lens”: can you critique a relic of the 2000s and still admit you were obsessed with it at the time? 📚A Brutally Real Book Review of The Tenant by Freida McFadden, why it felt like “Gone Girl déjà vu,” and how it still became unavoidable “it girl” reading Page to screen: Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and the missing Enzo scene that lowkey breaks The Housemaid movie for book fans.

The cabbage recession indicator: why your $2 cabbage might soon cost $20, and how fruit and veg are quietly turning into luxury items. It’s messy dopamine energy hit in podcast form: a little nostalgic, a little unhinged, and very up to speed on whatever the internet is obsessing over this week.

ChatGPT, situationships and AI‑generated vowsLifestyle Editor Madison Bogisch spills on people feeding their texts into AI (“How do I reply to this?”) and even using it to write their wedding vows and why that might be “peak laziness” and low key dangerous for your love life.
