This week, we’re diving into the story of the ultimate history girly: Joan of Arc. Born to a peasant farmer, Joan started receiving visits from saints (yes, really) at just 13 years old. These visions that told her to lead France to victory in the Hundred Years’ War. By 17, she was doing exactly that. But things took a turn when she was captured, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake...basically for being a woman in charge and wearing pants. Classic. We honor Joan, her bravery, and the legacy that led to her sainthood.

This week, we’re diving into the world of the shoe mogul himself: Steve Madden. From hustling shoes out of the trunk of his car to building a billion-dollar brand, Steve’s journey is anything but ordinary. We unpack how his rapid rise got tangled in the chaos of The Wolf of Wall Street, landing him behind bars, and how he managed to bounce back stronger than ever. His story is a wild ride of risk, resilience, and really good shoes. Who else grew up wearing Steve Madden? And we still love Steve Madden shoes—Claire’s iconic green heels from the White Party?

In this episode, we dive into one of pop culture’s most talked-about relationship timelines: Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez. But this isn’t your typical celebrity gossip breakdown. Through a feminist lens, we explore how media narratives have consistently framed women as rivals, even when the story is far more complex, and human, than that. We trace the key moments, challenge the headlines, and ask bigger questions about fame, fan culture, misogyny, and the personal cost of public scrutiny. This isn’t about taking sides, it’s about understanding the story without turning it into a competition.

This week, we cover the one and only Judge Judy. From her Brooklyn beginnings where she honed that signature gift of gab, (hello, such a Rammie?!), to becoming the highest-paid woman in daytime TV history, Judy Sheindlin is truly in a court of her own. We get into her days as the only woman in her law school class, her personal ups and downs (three marriages, she stays busy!), and how she rose to become one of the most recognizable, meme-worthy, no-nonsense icons in pop culture. Court is in session, and yes… we’re all a little scared.

Before TikTok trends and AI pop stars, there was Katy Perry, our Teenage Dream in a technicolor fever dream. In this episode, we take a glitter-drenched walk down memory lane to revisit the era of blue wigs, all her famous juicy relationships, whipped cream cannons, and that unforgettable Taylor Swift drama. Was it camp? Was it chaos? Was it genius? We’re unpacking the legacy of one of pop’s most delightfully bizarre icons, and wondering how we ever survived the 2010s without questioning the cupcake bra.
