  • "Landslide" & The Great Question

    One night in 1973, in a multi-million-dollar house in Aspen Colorado, a young, ambitious and broke woman named Stevie Nicks sat alone with her dog, her guitar and a pen and paper and let the beautiful view of snow-capped mountains inspire her to write a song about her life's direction, and whether or not she and her boyfriend, Lindsey Buckingham, were on the right path. Flash forward about a year, and they were both famous rock stars and finally enjoying the fruits of their labors and more. That was the night Stevie wrote "Landslide".

    In this premiere episode of Linda's Turntable, Linda dives deep into what makes "Landslide" a great song - why she loves it, why we all resonate with its lyrics, and why, at some point in our lives, everyone has looked out on their version of "the snow-covered hills" and questioned their life path as Stevie Nicks did that night in Aspen almost fifty years ago. Why does "Landslide" endure? What is the Great Question? Why is this one of the songs that play perennially on Linda's turntable? In this episode, all that and more will be answered, and before long, "the landslide will bring you down."

  • Toxic Relationships & Broken Vases
    A viral Tweet from Jim Carrey once said that before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, you must first determine if you as just "surrounded by assholes." In this long-anticipated return episode, Linda examines the REVERSE side of "it's not you, it's me." What if you are the sane one, but your significant other, your friend, etc. are the ones making you feel this way? What if toxic behaviors of others have stuck you in a toxic relationship, and you're questioning your own beliefs, your own sanity, but the real culprit is THEIR behavior towards YOU? In this episode, Linda takes you on a stroll down Memory Lane dating back to a toxic relationship in 2002, how she recognized the signs quicker with another one in 2017, and tell you the list of chronic toxic behaviors to look out for so you can know, once and for all, if it's actually not your fault that you feel like you're going crazy.

  • Christmas Trees & Being A Karen
    Is it ever okay to just...be a "Karen"? Is it ever the appropriate time to unleash the Karen within, and if so, when would that be? In this episode, Linda talks about the endless perils she's encountered in trying to rescue her Christmas tree from its place in storage despite an unwilling neighbor, a male version of the Karen she's encountered in her life, and wrestles with the decision to unleash the Karen stereotype as she grows more desperate for assistance and customer service this holiday season. Also, a new recurring segment, "Get Linda's Take" is introduced, and now you, too, can write in and hear Linda's opinion on matters you might be wrestling with yourself! (This by sending her a message to Instagram/ladylinda420.) Happy Holidays!

  • The D’Amelio Sisters & The Breakdown of Western Civilization
    It may be old news now, but someone has been sitting tight with her opinion about the D’Amelio sisters for far too long.
