Of course, I had to invite Kaley Norton, the biggest JB fan we know to break it all. We talked about the timeline of the release, at our initial reactions, favorite tracks,the iconic lipgloss phone case, and Hailey' Bieber's subtle shade, and SO MUCH MORE

We hope it's clocking to you how we're standing on business in this episode!

On this Pepisode, Maria sits down with Ideal Miss Peach State Taylor Martin to talk all about Wicked For Good and what it was like to watch the trailer in theaters. (We know, we're a little behind, but better late than never, right?) Then we transition into talking about what's next for Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. While they have something big in the works, they aren't the only ones with something big in the works, as Taylor gets ready to compete for a national pageant title later this month. They talk about her pageant journey and preparation up to this point. It leads to a fun conversation about all the celebrities that got their start competing in pageants, and sparks a deep dive into how this experience prepared them to be a celebrity.

When asked "what's your favorite season", Moira Rose, one of the gratest tv characters of all time said "awards" and that's a statement Maria has felt in her soul ever since.

Welcome to the first ever "Peppy Awards". In this Pepisode, Maria is joined by Sarah Dail, her internet friend, and fellow pop culture lover to give out awards to their favorite people and pieces of content from the last year!

Hey Besties! It has been a week since The Traitors finale and no I am still not over it. I have listened to a million hours of content surrounding this season, so much so that I decided to create my own content around it.

Instead of just breaking down all the big moments, I decided it would be fun to invite a friend and talk about who we would like to see on the next season. Because lets be honest, i could watch a million seasons of this show!

I invited my former work bestie, reality tv fan, and theatre fanatic to the show to join and talk about the reality stars she'd love to see on the show! So join us for a conversation less intense than a roundtable, but just as fun to listen and follow along with!

This week, Maria is joined by Craig Allison, Morning anchor at 10/11 News in Lincoln, Nebraska. When he's not reporting in studio, presenting live in studio, or taking in a Cornhusker's game, he's probably watching movies! He may as well be a voting member of the Academy at this point. He gives us his thoughts and opinions on the winners (their obnoxious speeches) and everything in between from this year's show!

Be sure to give him a follow just to be ready for next year's Oscars on social media. Follow the show at @pepwithmaria. Be sure you like and subscribe to stay up to date on all future episodes!
