LOUD AND WRONG: with Raven

Baby, it's been a week in Trump’s America, and we’ve got thoughts. From DEI programs getting the boot to a bishop (SUPPOSEDLY) stirring up drama, and even rumors of a third term—what is happening?! Plus, we dive into the most random tea (ALLEGEDLY, ALLEGEDLY!!) about a former front man of a Christian rock band. Meanwhile, is Beyoncé about to drop some news or just playing with us? We dive into the 2025 Grammy predictions and lock in our own, unpack the Oscars nomination chaos, and gag over the latest twists in Traitors. It's all tea, shade, and we are keepin’ it real this week. Don’t miss it, besties! 💅🏾✨

This week’s episode is serving up drama, tea, and a sprinkle of shade just for our girls and gays (-and some of you straights)! We’re talking Zendaya & Tom Holland’s engagement (yes, our faves are cuffed!), Allison Holker’s eyebrow-raising book about her late husband Twitch which has caused MASSIVE controversy in the dance community and beyond, and Carrie Underwood singing at that inauguration—why, sis?! We unpack the Golden Globes chaos, TikTok’s potential farewell, and get DOWN on Traitors season 3. Plus, the Cali wildfires and what’s next for us all. It’s a mix of laughter, love, and side-eye.

Then, we dissect the Golden Globes noms, dish on our latest screenings of The Last Showgirl, Babygirl, and Six Triple Eight, and sip the PIPING HOT TEA on Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni vs. New York Times vs. Whoever Else lawsuit mess.

Happy New Year, besties! 🎉 In our first episode of 2025, we’re reflecting on the highs, the laughs, and the chaos of the past year. Blake and Raven spill their favorite moments of 2024, share hopes and dreams for 2025 (hint: the podcast glow-up is real), and tackle the age-old debate: Are New Year’s resolutions a scam? Plus, we count down our top 3 fave podcast moments since launch and wrap it all up with good vibes and a heartfelt Happy New Year. 🥂✨ Grab the champagne—it’s time to celebrate!

Deck the halls, grab some cocoa, and join us for our festive Christmas/holiday episode! We're spilling the tea on our favorite Christmas traditions, the most unforgettable gifts we've ever received, and which holiday movies still hit. Plus, are we sleighing or slaying Christmas music this year? And what do you do during that weird, time-warp week between Christmas and New Year's? It's all the cozy vibes, holiday cheer, and just the right sprinkle of shade—MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM REWIND!! Raven, Blake, & Producer Gabe wish you all the joy, warmth, and magic of the holiday season!! 🎄✨

This week’s episode is serving piping hot tea! Blake is back from vacation with all the deets, while Raven shares the inside scoop on her gala and guest pod debut!! We dive into the shocking United Healthcare CEO scandal, Megan Fox and MGK’s dramatic breakup, and Joe Burrow’s burglary/relationship drama. Plus, we’re revisiting Paris & Nicole’s iconic era and Jamie Foxx’s new Netflix special. Oh, and those wild allegations about Jay-Z? We’re unpacking it all. Let’s get into it, queens! 👑✨

Blake’s off jet-setting this week, so we’re holding the big headlines—like the United Healthcare scandal, Jamie Foxx’s Netflix special, and Raven’s wild country concert adventure—for next week’s tea spill. In the meantime, Raven’s got a surprising Martha Stewart obsession thanks to her new Netflix doc, and we’re speculating if Blake’s vacation splurge is worth it. Plus, Raven’s getting into the holiday spirit, binging Netflix Christmas documentaries like a festive fiend. It’s cozy, chaotic, and packed with laughs—don’t miss it! 🎄✨

We hope your Thanksgiving was full of gratitude and you got everything you wanted for Black Friday!! Now that the holidays are over, we’ve got a brand new episode for you!! Swifties and Beyhive, unite (or fight)—this week, we dive into Billboard’s (apparently) spicy choice of Beyoncé over Taylor Swift as the Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century. Blake and Raven spill tea on Joe Biden pardoning Hunter and the fallout that followed, Drake’s brewing legal drama with Kendrick Lamar’s label, and the chaos (and creativity) on our TikTok For You pages. Don’t worry, we only mention Wicked for two minutes this time! It’s messy, it’s funny, it’s unmissable. Tune in, besties! 🎤✨

Get your turkey and tea ready because this Thanksgiving episode is serving everything! We dive into Kendrick Lamar's new album (is it giving thanks or meh?), Blake’s forgettable night at the 2024 CMA Awards, and Kylan Darnell’s boyfriend breakup drama (messy vibes, anyone?). We tackle Matt Gaetz dropping out of the AG race and the chaos on our TikTok For You pages. Plus, we mourn Liam Payne, spill on Khalid’s ousting, and end with our favorite Thanksgiving things. Gather ‘round, fam—it’s a feast for your ears! 🦃✨
