    Karamo Brown

    Karamo Brown

    This week we are blown away by Karamo Brown (Queer Eye, Karamo Show), whose life consists of a series of plot twists almost too-incredible to believe. Karamo opens up about living authentically at school while hiding himself at home, how a one-time encounter with his best friend turned into the greatest plot twist of his adult life, why life after MTV's The Real World was almost unbearable, and how he managed to land his role on Queer Eye even though he missed every round of casting but the last.

    Elisabeth Moss

    Elisabeth Moss

    The inimitable, outrageously talented Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, Handmaid's Tale) is here and we're NOT OK! Elisabeth shares about her years training as a ballet dancer, the tough lessons she learned from early adolescent manipulation, why she wished she'd been cast on Gossip Girl, and why she refuses to ever go method. We get into all things Handmaid's Tale and her exciting new project, The Veil. Tune in to find out how Penn made Elisabeth blush...by comparing her to a baby?

ughhhhhhh

Who the frick is Penn Badgley and why is he constantly advertising his sad, dumb podcast in all my favorite comedy podcasts?

No matter how many times he says "Hey lets talk about cringey memories!", I'm not going to download and listen to this podcast. It sounds like such an enormous waste of time.

When is it coming back

I love Podcrushed is it going to come back
