Chelsea and comedian and actor Crystal Marie Denha (“The Gutter”) analyze “Vanna Speaks,” the 1987 memoir from “Wheel of Fortune” icon Vanna White. They explore everything from Vanna’s wild tales of romance at Chippendales, to how she landed her iconic letter-turning role on TV. Along the way, they yell about diet culture, her criminal (??) manager, and some brand new reasons to hate on Hugh Hefner’s ghost.

Chelsea teams up with Melinda Thompson (co-host of the Hello Witches! podcast) and Blake “LUXXURY” Robin (co-host of the One Song podcast) for a special Memoir in the Music episode, all about rock’s mystical witch, Stevie Nicks. Just in time for Halloween, they sift through Stevie’s witchy lyrics to uncover tales of romance, heartbreak, and just a hint of hexing. From “Landslide” to “Rhiannon” to “Silver Springs,” Chelsea and her guests reveal why Stevie’s life needs no traditional memoir—it’s all in her songs.

Chelsea brings back Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers (from the Pantsuit Politics podcast) to tackle the highly requested: “Melania,” by Melania Trump. They nearly drown in Melania’s tales of quiet luxury communism, the linguistic choices behind “Be Best,” the lies behind that infamous “I Really Don’t Care” jacket, and how she didn’t know there was an insurrection because she was busy photographing her White House decor, ok?

Chelsea is joined by writer, podcast host, and cultural commentator Evan Ross Katz to discuss Ina Garten’s memoir, “Be Ready When the Luck Happens.” They discuss everything from Ina's turbulent childhood and her career in nuclear energy to her rise as a culinary icon with “Barefoot Contessa” and the baked chicken recipe that supposedly made Prince Harry propose! They also dissect all things Jeffrey—from the CIA rumors and his work at Blackstone to Ina surprising him with an entire apartment in Paris. One takeaway: Sometimes, we all just need to "Ina our Garten."
