297: How Deuxmoi Changed the Celebrity Gossip Game
I'm a huge fan of this week's guest and chances are, so are you.
Deuxmoi entered the celebrity journalism and gossip space officially around 2020, and since then her Instagram account has grown to over 2 million followers who can't wait to see the latest tips and sightings she regularly reports.
I ask Deux how she got started; why she's chosen to remain anonymous and how that's impacted her life and reporting; the dustup she had with Taylor Swift's PR team; the latest celebrity headlines and more.
Listen to Deux's podcast Deux U here, and read her novel ANON PLS. before it gets turned into a TV series, here!

Relatable
I love Sonni’s WGT podcast and the variety of topics it covers from light and fun to deep topics…something new and relevant each episode. I love that she wants to hear from her listeners and has an open mind to hear all opinions and thoughts on a variety of issues. This is a podcast I recommend to all my friends in our 30s & 40s.
Great topics!!
Sonni is so down-to-earth and reliable and she covers such interesting and important topics. Not to mention she has a great sense of humor and is so self aware. Love her and her content!!!
Excellent journalism & fun
Not only is Sonni incredible at interviewing and getting to the heart of a topic, but she is fun to listen to. She is super sharp and level headed, and it’s evident she works hard to bring experts and interesting stories to her show.
