From The Hills to Glee to the rise of girlboss media—Sophia Rivka Rossi has seen and shaped our culture from the inside out.

Today, she pulls back the curtain.

On this week’s episode of Second Thought, Sophia joins Suzy Weiss to unpack the machine behind reality TV, the secret sauce behind Ryan Murphy’s dominance, and what happens when you finally stop outsourcing your inner life to online psychics, holistic healers, and empaths who insist they can clear your energy over WhatsApp.

Then, joined by co-host Dan Ahdoot, the trio dives into the buzziest stories of the week: the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (Suzy was in the room), the controversial new Michael Jackson biopic, Megan Thee Stallion’s very public breakup—and more. It’s mandatory listening.
