And by Jan to June, we do mean Ashly and Tyrell and Samantha's mothers...

Howdy, y'all!

Did you miss us? Mrs. Ashly, Semi, Nick@Nite, Lady D, Queen Melmendi and JJ decided to host a Ladies Tea to discuss season 2 of Beyond the Gates. But don't fret: there will be a "Men Strike Back" episode with the thoughts of the men you've come to know.

In this episode, the ladies give their highlights, lamentations and predictions for the rest of the year. We are happy that BTG has been renewed for seasons 3 and 4, that you can watch ALL episodes for free now on Tubi and that Aisha is live. If we missed anything or you would like to share your thoughts, please email us at [email protected]

Ms. Semi and JJ take on the "She Said" duties to discuss the Black women of motor sports- in real life and in romance novels. Please be sure to check out the Watch With You accounts on social media to see the covers of the books listed in this podcast. Please also visit the "Racing to Love" shelf in the Watch With You Bookshop to purchase some of the titles mentioned and to help us do what we do.

Hello Friends,

We are back with another round of "He Said, She Said" episodes. First up, we discuss NASCAR. If you have noticed more of us than usual, you aren't seeing things. And if you were looking for a safe place to begin your fandom, this is it. Stay tuned for the corresponding episode which features romance books set in the motorsports world.

Howdy GWS Family!

Mrs. Ashly, Ms. Semi and JJ are back to discuss Q1 on all things soaps. BTG has us intrigued; B and B annoys us; DAYS confuses us; GH makes us scratch our heads and Y & R has our attention for the return of Malcolm Winters and Stephanie Simmons.

Which soaps works up your lather?

Sir Rease and Lady A join Lady D and Lady H to chat about part one of Bridgerton season four. We recorded this episode the same day part two dropped and did our best to avoid spoilers for what’s ahead. Still, we dive into our thoughts on Sophie and Benedict’s chemistry, Eloise’s immaturity, Michaela’s undeniable charm, why Lady Danbury is that B, and more. We’ll be back to break down part two in depth and hold a panel discussion on season four and the series so far. As luck would have it, this episode lands just as Lady Whistledown reveals that season five will feature a sapphic romance—and you know we’ll have plenty to say about that with our signature crass, sass, heart, and humor.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye Watchers:

Queen Melmendi joins Lady D and Lady H/JJ to discuss we watched in 2025; including the Holiday movies, and what we are watching in 2026 and beyond. We discuss documentaries, sports, special events and more.

A note: Xfinity is now on the list that allows you to use your Disney+ or Hulu log in to access the PLEs on ESPN+ at no additional cost.

We also mention independent journalists, but failed to mention Roland Martin's Black Star Network-be sure to check them out. And please let us know what we missed: you can email us at [email protected]
