The Reheat

This week, we’re diving into the glamorous, chaotic and deeply misunderstood world of WAGs. What exactly is a WAG? Technically, it stands for “wives and girlfriends” of athletes. But culturally, it has come to mean so much more: public scrutiny, reality TV drama, cheating scandals, courtroom battles, and women who often become more famous than the men they’re attached to. In this episode, we trace the rise of WAG culture from its early-2000s explosion, when Victoria Beckham became the undisputed queen of the genre, to the double standards and why these women are mocked for loving fame but punished when they try to build careers of their own; why athletes’ partners are treated like accessories until they become too visible; and how social media has changed the game entirely. It's an extra juicy one.

We're back for another Hot off the Press! This week, we're diving into the relationship that makes us believe in soulmates, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry. Separately, they're a little cringey, but together, they are adorable! We are delighted to hear they're considering cohabitating in Montreal. However, you'll want to hear Sarah's reasons why she hopes their hypothetical future baby will be born on American soil. We also address the growing concern over Ariana Grande's shrinking body - and her breakup with the performer also known as SpongeBob - as she begins her first tour in seven years.

This week, we’re talking about a man who truly understands the assignment of modern celebrity: Spencer Pratt. Once the platinum-blond villain of The Hills, Spencer built an entire career out of chaos, crystals, tabloid feuds and reality TV infamy. But in the strangest twist yet, he recently tried to turn that notoriety into political power with a run for mayor of Los Angeles. So, how did Spencer go from reality TV’s most hated man to a surprisingly serious political headline? We get into his villain origin story, the rise of Speidi, the way reality TV trained us to reward outrage, and why his mayoral campaign felt both absurd and completely inevitable in 2026.

*A quick update since we recorded: Spencer is officially out of the race after finishing third in the primary, god bless, with Karen Bass and Nithya Raman advancing to the runoff. But honestly? The fact that he got this far still says a lot. Phew!

We have so much on our minds this week! Why are people coming for bestselling author and socialite Belle Burden? Did Burden really lie about her personal finances in the bestselling divorce memoir Strangers? We defend our favourite Nepo Baby by discussing the intricacies of her trust funds and pointing out that even rich girls can get manipulated by a man! Of course, we're also speculating about who is invited to Taylor Swift's upcoming nuptials! Lena Dunham? We're positive she'll be there. Blake Lively? Not so much...

This week, we’re diving into the life and career of Justin Bieber: the YouTube discovery that changed pop forever, the rise of Bieber Fever, the teen idol machine that made him one of the biggest stars in the world, and the very public growing pains that followed. From My World and Never Say Never to Believe, Purpose, the Selena Gomez years, tabloid chaos, Hillsong, arrests, reinvention, Hailey Baldwin-turned-Bieber, health struggles and his complicated relationship with fame, we unpack how Justin became both a generational pop phenomenon and a cautionary tale about what happens when a child star has to grow up in front of everyone.

This week, as The Devil Wears Prada 2 reigns in theatres, revisit a recent episode from our archives! In this episode, we take on one of our favourites: Anne Hathaway, and with a very special guest: Alex Sujong Laughlin, the co-creator of Normal Gossip and host of pod Try Hard! Speaking of, that's what this episode is all about: how Anne went from America’s Princess™ to “try-hard” punching bag to the girlfriend of an all-time scammer and, finally, a beloved icon. It's a singular trajectory, and one we dig deep into. (Really, this is personal for these three former theatre kids.)

We decided to speed-read Lena Dunham's new memoir and tell our listeners all about it. Our verdict? The gossip in Famesick is juicier than a ripe peach, so we're examining every delicious detail. Does Lena believe her ex Jack Antonoff had an affair with Lorde? What was Adam Driver like on the set of Girls (Spoiler: pretty sketchy), and why did she stop working with writing partner Jenni Conner? Don't bother pouring yourself a cup of tea while listening to this episode, because Famesick is full of it! It's also a gorgeously written book that reminds us of humour and insight that first brought Lena into the spotlight. This might be one of the most millennial books ever written...

While we take a little break this week, revisit this episode from the archives, in which we discuss the many scandals of one Lena Dunham, the frequently problematic, award-winning writer, filmmaker and actor. Although she has managed to piss off just about every community at some point in time, she did create the seminal series Girls — so, does she deserve a return? Is she truly a voice of a generation? Especially with her recent new series Too Much, and her brand new memoir Famesick out this month? Let's discuss!
