“Your Favorite Auntie” is a new kind of advice show from someone you actually listen to. Launched in quarantine, this breakout weekly IG TV show is now evolving into a weekly podcast, powered by Cash App. Not as authoritarian as your mother, or as infantilizing as your big sis, think of host Marjon Carlos as your virtual confidant. The in-demand journalist is here to provide insight, humor, words of encouragement, and hard-to-hear advice every week. With a rotating roster of thrilling guests, Auntie will tackle what’s happening in the world or our own personal worlds, offer rich, incisive takes on everything from Housewives to interracial dating, and field questions directly from our audience.

Season Finale: Auntie and Gabriella Khalil!
Where did the time go?! In the season finale epi, Auntie sits down with her friend and the mogul behind the acclaimed resort Palm Heights, Gabriella Khalil. The two discuss how the Philly native went from working in the London art world to opening the go-to destination for the art, fashion, and design glitterati, what it’s like to go viral (Good luck getting a resy at Habibi!), and what she’s learned as a boss. It’s a must-hear for any would-be magnates! And as always, Auntie answers your burning questions and provides advice in “Ask Auntie” and the hottest takes on “This Week’s Mess.” This week? She tells you how to get a *hobosexual* out of your house (ahem) and why the commodification of box braids has gone too far!
Until next season, Auntie sends her love xx

This is for the SATC girlies! Fellow Aries, pop cultural enthusiast, and Carrie Bradshaw scholar, Evan Ross Katz sits down this week with Auntie to discuss their Roman Empire: How in the hell did “And Just Like That” get renewed for a season 3?! Katz gives us his take and some inside scoop on why the show is such a disservice to the SATC legacy, along with his thoughts on the new RHONY cast, what it’s like to write a book, and whether or not he started “P Valley” yet. Michael Patrick King, call us. And as always, Auntie answers your burning questions and provides advice in “Ask Auntie”, and provides the hottest takes on “This Week’s Mess.” This week? I talk about how turning 40 sometimes kind of sucks and how to build out a wardrobe that really reflects who you are.

Auntie and Real Housewife of New York Jessel Taank!
Is it there yet?! In this exciting second episode, Auntie sits down with RHONY breakout star, fashion publicist Jessel Taank for an unfiltered, in-depth chat about how fashion prepared Taank for reality TV, why Tribeca still isn’t there yet, what really happened in the Hamptons with that slip dress, and we put to bed all those rumors of Taank not even being a New Yorker.
