  • The Internet Loves To Hate Chappell Roan

    The Internet Loves To Hate Chappell Roan
    Apr 4 2026

    On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by writer and content creator Josh Lora, who goes by TellTheBees on Substack, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. After yet another meaningless Chappell Roan controversy, this time involving a young fan and a security guard, Kate and Josh look into why Chappell Roan is always such a lightning rod for discourse. What seems like celebrity gossip ends up being used by bad actors online to smear Chappell Roan and discredit her progressive values.

  • "Lip Filler Accent" Is Infecting TikTok (and Us)

    "Lip Filler Accent" Is Infecting TikTok (and Us)
    Apr 1 2026

    On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Defector co-owner Alex Sujong Laughlin, whose recent piece about “lip filler accent” identified a new way TikTok is changing how we speak. Even people who don’t have any plastic surgery at all appear to be picking up on the trend, because when it comes to status, sounding like someone who has had plastic surgery is really all that matters.

  • Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette Cancellation Was Inevitable

    Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette Cancellation Was Inevitable
    Mar 28 2026

    On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by New York Magazine features writer Rebecca Jennings, who recently profiled the now-cancelled Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul. Paul’s season was pulled after a video of her 2023 domestic violence incident was published by TMZ, following news of another domestic violence investigation from February of this year. While the video is upsetting, knowledge of Pauls’ 2023 arrest is not new, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives continued to use her volatile relationship for ratings. Now, parent company Disney is turning on her over a situation that may be more complicated than it seems.

this episode left me feeling annoyed. "all the words are Black/LGBT words. it's hard to trace the actual origin of words and we only know 1 for sure has a documented Black origin. but all the words are Black/LGBT words."
"it's cringe that they used cringe. I can't believe how cringe it is. isn't it so cringe?" 😒
and the solution to using the current internet vocabulary without commuting cultural appropriation: give money to black people and be Bruno Mars.
