This week, we’re diving into the glamorous, chaotic and deeply misunderstood world of WAGs. What exactly is a WAG? Technically, it stands for “wives and girlfriends” of athletes. But culturally, it has come to mean so much more: public scrutiny, reality TV drama, cheating scandals, courtroom battles, and women who often become more famous than the men they’re attached to. In this episode, we trace the rise of WAG culture from its early-2000s explosion, when Victoria Beckham became the undisputed queen of the genre, to the double standards and why these women are mocked for loving fame but punished when they try to build careers of their own; why athletes’ partners are treated like accessories until they become too visible; and how social media has changed the game entirely. It's an extra juicy one.

We're back for another Hot off the Press! This week, we're diving into the relationship that makes us believe in soulmates, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry. Separately, they're a little cringey, but together, they are adorable! We are delighted to hear they're considering cohabitating in Montreal. However, you'll want to hear Sarah's reasons why she hopes their hypothetical future baby will be born on American soil. We also address the growing concern over Ariana Grande's shrinking body - and her breakup with the performer also known as SpongeBob - as she begins her first tour in seven years.

This week, we’re talking about a man who truly understands the assignment of modern celebrity: Spencer Pratt. Once the platinum-blond villain of The Hills, Spencer built an entire career out of chaos, crystals, tabloid feuds and reality TV infamy. But in the strangest twist yet, he recently tried to turn that notoriety into political power with a run for mayor of Los Angeles. So, how did Spencer go from reality TV’s most hated man to a surprisingly serious political headline? We get into his villain origin story, the rise of Speidi, the way reality TV trained us to reward outrage, and why his mayoral campaign felt both absurd and completely inevitable in 2026.

*A quick update since we recorded: Spencer is officially out of the race after finishing third in the primary, god bless, with Karen Bass and Nithya Raman advancing to the runoff. But honestly? The fact that he got this far still says a lot. Phew!

This week, as The Devil Wears Prada 2 reigns in theatres, revisit a recent episode from our archives! In this episode, we take on one of our favourites: Anne Hathaway, and with a very special guest: Alex Sujong Laughlin, the co-creator of Normal Gossip and host of pod Try Hard! Speaking of, that's what this episode is all about: how Anne went from America’s Princess™ to “try-hard” punching bag to the girlfriend of an all-time scammer and, finally, a beloved icon. It's a singular trajectory, and one we dig deep into. (Really, this is personal for these three former theatre kids.)
