This week on Listen, Here’s the Thing, Katie and Meko are coming in hot and a little unfiltered. 

From Katie’s trip through the U.P. (yes, including the weed shops) to Meko’s Ann Arbor trip and Uncork for a Cure, it’s another Weekend Catch-Up you don’t want to miss. The gals dive into everything from the 13-year-old Egyptian true-crime shocker to what’s new in pop culture, like DWTS’s big “no elimination” flop, a Love Is Blind update, and which book-to-movie adaptations are driving readers wild. 

Then it gets real, who can we actually trust in the world of wellness influencers? Katie and Meko break down the rise and fall of scammy “gurus” like Belle Gibson and Brittany Dawn, exposing the toxic side of wellness culture, “digital quackery,” and why women over 40 are the industry’s favorite targets. 

And just when you think you’ve heard it all, the UnBiased Opinion of the Week drops: a woman in Scotland who faked an entire pregnancy and baby. Yes, you read that right. 

Finally, the ladies wrap up with their weekly favorites: 

Katie’s loving the Skinbetter Trio Lux 

Meko’s binging documentaries on scammers (shocker) 

Pour your coffee, your wine, or whatever keeps you sane, and settle in for another round of real talk, wild stories, and female friendship over 40.
