Welcome to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson.

Millennials are going to really love this one. This week we are doing a rewind. Lately, there's this trend going around called ‘2026 is the new 2016’ but we are taking it back even further. This week we are giving our take on what we were loving twenty years ago, as well as the whole ANTM/ Tyra Banks debacle. We also get into relationship dynamics and trust issues.

We will be joined by friend to the podcast, Sarai Ashari Thompson.

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. It is a new year and we are here to get into what everyone is talking about with our own unique nuance and our saucy but sweet decorum.

And what better way to reflect on how we are settling into 2026 and the season of love than with friend to the podcast, Isha Vargas. Valentine’s Day is upon us, so this episode explores the lovey dovey hot takes, (and some toxic ones) , being a work wife and whether we'd ever get down on one knee.

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. It is officially summer and things are heating up. This week we are going to highlight a well-known place in New York that gets a lot of slack and not enough love despite being a place of abundance in terms of food, culture and authenticity: The Bronx.

Some of you may know, the host is a former Bronx baddie. The host sits down with Amaurys Grullon to discuss how he is transforming the public perception of the Bronx through his wildly successful business, “Bronx Native” and reflects on his journey as an entrepreneur and why he is never leaving the Bronx.

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. This week we are feeling all of the feels. The weather is getting warmer and the skirts are getting shorter. The host is in her element. She is in her soft girl era, and reminiscing over her hot girl summer. But what she wants to know is can a girl in her soft girl era have a hot girl summer? Can those two things co-exist? Or should we call it a soft girl summer?

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. This week we will be once again getting into the neverending case of Tory Lanez and Meg the Stallion. Tory Lanez was convicted in December for assaulting Meg and is currently serving a 10 year sentence.

But in the midst of his prison sentence, Tory has released an album, and has had support coming from artists like Chris Brown, Drake, Kodak Black and even media personality Amber Rose for his prison release. The host discusses how once again the hip-hop world has turned their back on Meg and what this continued support for the convicted felon says about society today.

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson.  For the first time in our Saucy but Sweet podcast history, we are dedicating an entire episode to a segment we have every so often, Saucy but Sweet, Review of the Week.

The host was lucky enough to see one of the freshest, most inspiring broadshow shows out there: Hell’s Kitchen, and left speechless (which as you know the host typically has quite to say about everything. The Tony award winning play doesn’t just deserve a tiny segment, it deserves an entire episode and this week we are giving it just that.

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. This week we are discussing something many of us, if not all of us can relate to, the evolution of male and female friendships and the misconceptions that come along with that.

Growing up, some of us may be more geared towards folks of our own gender, but as we mature we realized the value of friendships with folks of the opposite gender, and some of us have been valuing those friendships since we were in the sandbox because at the end of the day, why can’t we be friends?

We will be joined by friend to the podcast Sevanny Campos, who is a journalist and co-host of the sports business podcast Major League Deals.

 Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. This week is all about women empowerment. But not just women empowerment, we are going to get real about competition in the workplace as it relates to women, and some of our own inherent competitive ways that not only sabotage ourselves but others as well.

Growing up, little girls are socialized to be likeable, friendly and be chosen. And as we grow up we continue to want to be “chosen” in every aspect of our lives, with the belief that there is no room for more than one at the table. As we get older we learn the importance of unlearning these behaviors, but for some it takes much longer than others. We will be joined by entrepreneur and all around badass Sarai Ashari, founder of Luxe & Chic Company, co-founder of  the After Party NYC, and host of the Grls Pod.

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. This week we are talking about the price of fame, and what it really means to be famous in a world where being famous and infamous are two sides of the same coin. Growing up, many of us wanted to be the next “IT” girl or guy, the one who becomes a household name from our favorite tv shows. But despite the glitz and glamour and being the most sought out individuals, there’s a price for growing up in the spotlight.

There have been documentary after documentary about how child stars struggle with fame as they get older and how hard it can be to keep up in Hollywood.  The host will be joined by Sarah Scully, a media junkie  and  former producer at Linkedin News, and media junkie.
