    Inside the Reality TV Machine with Sophia Rivka Rossi

    From The Hills to Glee to the rise of girlboss media—Sophia Rivka Rossi has seen and shaped our culture from the inside out. Today, she pulls back the curtain. On this week’s episode of Second Thought, Sophia joins Suzy Weiss to unpack the machine behind reality TV, the secret sauce behind Ryan Murphy’s dominance, and what happens when you finally stop outsourcing your inner life to online psychics, holistic healers, and empaths who insist they can clear your energy over WhatsApp. Then, joined by co-host Dan Ahdoot, the trio dives into the buzziest stories of the week: the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (Suzy was in the room), the controversial new Michael Jackson biopic, Megan Thee Stallion’s very public breakup—and more. It’s mandatory listening.

    Claudia Oshry Gets Real: Internet Fame, Blake Lively, GLP-1s & More

    On this week’s episode of Second Thought, Suzy Weiss sits down with comedian, media mogul, and professional pop culture savant, Claudia Oshry, for a conversation about what it actually takes to survive, and even thrive, online. As host of one of the internet’s most popular pop culture podcasts—The Toast, which she hosts with her sister Jackie—Claudia talks about the reality of being “internet famous,” getting canceled early in her career, and her relationship to fame, confidence, and public opinion. Then, Dan Ahdoot joins the conversation to dive into the pop culture stories of the week: why Blake Lively might be misunderstood, the too-online intensity of Olivia Rodrigo fans, Demi Lovato’s redemption arcs, the fraught personal dynamics of GLP-1s—and more.

    We’re All Living in Casey Neistat’s World

    Today, on our inaugural episode of Second Thought, Suzy Weiss sits down with one of the most influential people in YouTube’s history: Casey Neistat. Casey has millions of followers and billions of views to his name—and he saw early on that YouTube would change everything. It certainly changed his own life. In this conversation, Casey talks about riding the wave of the YouTube tsunami, his love of old technology, and how his career illustrates Andy Warhol’s infamous prediction that “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Plus: the creative power of brothers, Lena Dunham, and who inherited the mantle of Jackass. He also answers some harder questions: Has the rise of the creator economy and the parasocial relationships that came with it been a net positive? Is it possible to win the algorithm without exploiting your audience? Can artistic expression survive the onslaught of artificial intelligence? On all fronts, the man who saw around the corner of our last media revolution isn’t so sure. Subscribe to Second Thought for new episodes every week.
