September 12, 2026 REWATCH: Practical Magic feat. Blythe Roberson
WE ONLY HAVE BLYTHE ON FOR WITCHES! Well, at least so far! In order to celebrate the upcoming episode we're doing with her for PRACTICAL MAGIC 2, we're re-releasing this gem!

We were lucky enough to have her on the pod for Hocus Pocus, and Practical Magic. Spoiler alert, we still like this one. We talk about hot Nicole Kidman, not-Hot Jimmy, and debate the appeal of living in an idyllic town full of MEAN AF bullies who hate witches.

THE PRINCESS DIARIES feat. Ronald Young Jr.! (aka HOT GRANDMA)
Ronald Young Jr. is back! And this time we’re making him watch The Princess Diaries for the very first time.
We discuss Julie Andrews’s overwhelming luminosity, Lily Moscovitz’s unforgivable crimes, Eric von Detten’s alleged lack of rizz, whether the classic makeover movie can survive 2026, and why Anne Hathaway deserves justice...right?

July 24, 2026 Destination Funeral Launch Party Interview feat. Elissa Sussman!
For Paige's big exciting new book release, ICONIQUE Barnes & Noble hosted her at the Americana, and she was interviewed by the luminous, hilarious Elissa Sussman!! You might remember Elissa from her episode on this podcast, where we covered A Royal Montana Christmas, or perhaps heard Paige on Elissa's podcast! Either way, this is a fun interview with some fun scoop on the BTS of Destination Funeral and what's coming next!

We recorded these first three all at once so apologies again for the sound, it's temporary!

July 24, 2026 SEASON PREMIERE! Well, well, welcome back to nameless best friends!
This is a super casual episode just to say hi and that new wonderful things are coming, including Paige's new book! We're looking forward to an exciting new season, so buckle up!

PS - the sound of this episode is very frustrating to paige, the perfectionist because there seems to have been some sort of mic distortion that won't be there next time!! thanks for your patience!
