MAN'S BEST FRIEND: BET AWARDS, NO KINGS, THE MATERIALISTS, NENE, & DOJA CAT

WE’VE GOT A POCKET, GOT POCKET FULL OF SUNSHINE!! Fresh off seeing the diva Natasha Bedingfield herself, the REWIND crew (Just Blake) is one drink deep and feeling silly. We go from screaming at one another to heartfelt, raw discussion about dating, marriage, life, and more on this brand new episode. First things first, we discuss the NO KINGS PROTESTS that happened last weekend, the same day as Trump’s military parade. Then, we go in all the way on the BET Awards. When it comes to the awards show, are we so back!? Or was it just a good year? Then we discuss the ridiculous controversy behind Sabrina Carpenter’s new album cover, giggle over Carnival Tyler, wonder why Doja Cat was jumping around with a fan she hated, with some stories in between. Next, we discuss the controversial interview between Nene Leakes & TS Madison that had audiences everywhere commenting, which opens up REWIND: The Podcast for a raw and unfiltered conversation on trans visibility, language, and more. Finally, we discuss the new Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans movie - MATERIALISTS, directed by Celine Song. Is it ‘Broke Boy Propaganda’ as the kids are saying?? Or is it a lens into a deeper societal issue. We are ready to get deep and Kiki all at once, so dive in with us.

ABOUT REWIND: The Podcast - Hosted by the effortlessly charismatic duo Raven Dawson and Blake Rackley, REWIND: The Podcast is where pop culture past meets pop culture present—with a whole lot of personality in between. Fueled by a love for iconic throwbacks and today’s most talked-about moments, these two besties serve up unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and a deep appreciation for the drama that keeps entertainment interesting. From Y2K nostalgia to red carpet chaos, award show upsets to reality TV scandals, nothing is off-limits. Whether they’re revisiting the cultural staples that defined an era or breaking down the latest internet-breaking headlines, expect hot takes, deep dives, and plenty of side-eye. If your playlist lives somewhere between classic R&B and current chart-toppers, if you still quote your favorite 2000s movies on the daily, and if you love a little (or a lot of) flair with your pop culture commentary—this is the podcast you’ve been waiting for. Press play, lean in, and get ready to REWIND.
