    America's Next Top Model Doco Drama, A Brutally Real Book Review on The Tenant, And Should Cabbage be having a Couture Moment?

    Hello and welcome! You’ve been added to The Group Chat with your besties at WHO. 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 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. Romance recs: Emily Henry’s People We Meet on Vacation as a Gen Z‑ish When Harry Met Sally, and why friends to lovers still hits every time Lifestyle hit! 🥬Enter the Cabbage Queen: lifestyle guru Snr Content Producer Madison Bogisch  explains how cabbage went from diet‑culture soup to TikTok‑famous gut‑health girlie. 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.

    Wuthering Heights, MAFS Fights & ChatGPT Nights: Welcome Back to The WHO Group Chat

    We’re back after our soft launch...and vacay and honestly, it feels so good to get you back into the group chat. This is your official invite to WHO’s Group Chat the show where the hot gossip is served by us and mixed by you. We’re looking forward to getting you into the  group chat, so be part of it and follow our pages for all the juicy details.  In this episode, WHO's editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Editor Celia Whitley kick off 2026 with a chaotic love themed rundown: Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s suspiciously steamy Wuthering Heights press tour, Ryan Murphy’s new American Love Story about JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, the most “explosive” season of Married at First Sight yet? Time will tell and we're here for it. Plus the slightly cursed new dating trend: using ChatGPT for relationship advice. From Hollywood “showmances” to the Kennedy curse and AI‑generated wedding vows, it’s the group chat energy you actually want in your ears. Moments you’ll hear Margot & Jacob’s “are they,aren’t they” press tourShowmance or real spark? The girls unpack why we still fall for PR couples and why, as they put it, “we know you’re happily married with a child… just stop.” JFK Jr., Carolyn Bessette & the Kennedy curseWhy we’re still obsessed with “the tragic love story of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette,” what Ryan Murphy will do with American Love Story, and whether you believe in the Kennedy curse. MAFS 2026 already being an explosive seriesEarly hook‑ups, girl‑on‑girl feuds and the couple they’ll “riot at dawn” to protect: “We have to protect them at all costs.” Villain edits & going on reality TVWould you ever apply for MAFS? Could anyone get the villain edit? The girls ask if there’s a way to be controversial on reality TV without tearing other women down. 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. We’re back, the group chat is open, and we want you in it. Follow WHO on socials for extra MAFS tea, celeb deep dives and all the moments we couldn’t fit into this week’s episode. Welcome to your favourite new Group Chat .. mixed by WHO, stirred by you, we hope you enjoy! 💬✨  👀 See More:  Margot and Jacob press tour  I can never see enough Jacob Elordi photos tbh Do you believe in the tragic Kennedy curse?
