The Iconic Dollcast

This week, I’m joined by Kellen Hertz—author of several American Girl books (@kellenhertz ), including one of my absolute favorites featuring the iconic ’80s girl herself: Courtney! 💾🎮🛼 We chat about how Kellen got started writing for American Girl, the bold and brave story behind Courtney’s character, and so much more! 💕📺💥 I was so excited when I discovered Courtney’s character and was truly touched by her stories. This was a super special episode for me and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did 🩷🩷

This week, I’m diving headfirst into one of the wildest viral trends we’ve seen in a while — LABUBU 👹👹
I’m joined by Carly (@carcardiesel), who’s here to break down what exactly a Labubu is, how these little goblin-esque creatures took over social media, and most importantly… how YOU can get your hands on one. Spoiler: it’s not as easy as you’d think.
We’re also talking shady secondhand sales, collector chaos, and whether this trend is here to stay or just a freaky blip on the pop culture radar.
PLUS: Trish (@masvinoplease) stops by to share her journey trying to score one of these elusive little cuties.
