The queen of Jingle Ball herself is returning for a round two here in Philly on December 12th for Q102's Jingle Ball presented by Capital one! Tate McRae is back on the lineup and we talk about all the exciting parts of returning back to Philly during such an INSANE time for the city -- and don't worry -- we made sure to prep her. We played a game where Tate had to rally off the names of some Philly Area Icons by looking at their pictures. We also talk about which artist she's excited to meet back stage this year that she hasn't met before.

Our Jersey girl is home! Fletcher is back in the house and came home to the madness that of which is the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series! We also talked about how she's conquering going on 4 tours in just this past year alone, and how being so open about her sexuality has not only impacted her fans -- but her too.

I'm also pretty sure JAX and I just became best friends... or we were soul sisters separated at birth because IMMEDIATELY we hit it off in this podcast episode where we bond over literally wearing the same outfit, unplanned might I add, and how her new song called "Victoria's Secret" is literally the epitome of my college thesis paper about how youth's mental health is impacted but unrealistic body standards in the media... so clearly we're both passionate about helping people realize their true beauty.

Take a listen for yourself -- she even gives us an acoustic performance at the end of this episode!

There's no such thing as a dry conversation when you're talking to Benny Blanco -- a TriState native who know's what's up when It comes to the cheesesteak game here in Philly and definitely has had his fair share of excursions to Seacrets in OCMD. But what's even cooler is that Benny is representing on his new track called Bad Decisions which features Snoop, BTS and more Top 40 faves. He even gives us an inside scoop as to what happens when a BTS show sells out and the trick to still getting an in....

I also think once my boyfriend listens to this episode, he'll realize that him and Benny Blanco are now best friends. Check It out!

If you haven't watched the now #7 Most Watched Movie in Netflix HISTORY, Purple Heart, at least 3 times since it's release date a couple weeks ago... what else could you possibly be doing in life? Cause I kid you not, Sofia Carson in the new Netflix movie Purple Heart is beyond captivating. She came in studio to talk ALL about It & even Facetimed my mom to thank her for being the one to watch the movie 3x in a row 😂

Whether you're a regular, or you've never ran in your life -- here's everything you need to know prior to the largest race for cancer research & the ONLY marathon/ half that the city produces that has over half the course running through the city’s most famous spots. I chatted with Kathleen Titus, who is the Owner/Race Director of All Fitness Events, which she founded nine years ago. She also serves as Race Director for the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend and is beyond excited to get the show on the road for a November 18th start!

Ever told an artist to their face that their song is the anthem to your life? Welp... I just did. And It was to Nicky Youre for his song called Sunroof cause It just makes me feel THAT happy about life. But rolls reversed: What's Nicky's anthem song? Welp, we asked him! Take a listen!

Well not only is George and Eagles fan, but the boys of New Hope Club joined me to chat about other philly memories; Like sneaking into Lincoln Financial field for a Rolling Stones Concert! We also played "She's a 10 but" and even talked about their upcoming show in Philly along with their newly released songs!

I swear my outfit was un-planned when Dixie came into the Q102 studios and told us that her dad works for Mitchell and Ness! (Peep the fit on IG @rach_ontheradio) Dixie also talks all about being on tour with Big Time Rush and how that manifested right here in Philly! And amongst MANY other topics, most importantly - Dixie spills the tea as to why she's covering Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" while on tour, that has now gone VIRAL on TikTok...

Did you know that LAUV -- one of my favorite artist (humble brag) -- not only joined me IN STUDIO to chat all about his newest single "All For Nothing", but also is from Radnor PA?! Literally a local who loves Wawa and grew up listening to Q102! He dishes out his go-to meal at Wawa, and even plays a quick game of Like It Or Lauv It; And all we can say is... we Lauv him more now than ever!
