Dear Shandy

It's CALLER DAY! 📞 Today we're joined by TWO lovely callers. Catherine is the youngest of 4, and she wishes to celebrate her big sister's big birthday with a big trip. But should she invite their middle sister, who is unlikely to be able to afford it, but who won't handle the FOMO well? Or should she keep the trip under wraps? Our second caller, Renee, deeply regrets welcoming her friend's annoying husband into her friend group. Is it possible to hit "backspace" on introducing friends to friends? Listen on for the Shandy take!

Interested in getting the Shandy take but don't want to appear on the podcast? Email [email protected] for information about Shandy's new Off The Record sessions!

It's Q&A time! We're back, answering YOUR burning questions, and we have a bunch of FAMILY questions today! What should you do if your friend of 15 years suddenly blocks you—seemingly over a DM with the "wrong" emoji?? If your husband's bestie-turned-family-friend commits an unforgivable sin and betrays the whole family, is it better to forgive or to cut ties? If you regularly complain about your in-laws with your sister-in-law's husband, is that overstepping and boundary? Finally, what to do about the Chatty Cathy in your life that just WILL NOT STOP TALKING?? Come join us in our living room for good conversation and the Shandy take!

Interested in getting the Shandy take but don't want to appear on the podcast? Email [email protected] for information about Shandy Off The Record sessions.

It's Love Fest time again, Shandies!!! 🎉 We couldn't be more delighted to welcome The Season 2 Golden Bachelor himself—International man of mystery Mel Owens—and his lovely, multi-talented winner, Peg Munson! This is a particularly unique Love Fest, because unbeknownst to Shandy, Mel and Peg watched ALL the Dear Shandy recaps of their season! And trust us, they came with NOTES. 😱

Today Mel and Peg pull back the curtain on their relationship and truth BOMBS are dropped at every turn. We get Mel's unfiltered thoughts on his infamous pre-filming podcast appearance and the very unexpected backstory of Peg's unicycle! We learn how these two complement each other, what hurdles they've overcome, and learn their incredible love and life advice. Best of all, since they watched Dear Shandy along the way, Mel and Peg aren't afraid to tell Shandy what they got right (and very, very wrong)! Finally, a hilariously disastrous Newlyweds Game that defies all the rules! Who knows who better? Watch on to find out!
