NEW YORK MINUTE: MET GALA, A NEW POPE, PASTOR PODCASTS, & JESSE vs CIARA

This week on REWIND, Raven & Blake are back from the Big Apple with stories to tell! From Broadway magic and NYC firsts to travel chaos and late-night street hot dogs—nothing was off-limits on their whirlwind trip. It was such a WHIRLWIND, that we have a special announcement!! Then it’s back to the tea: there’s a new pope in town, messy pastor drama between Reginald & Kelly Steele and pretty much anyone who listens to Dear Future Wifey, and a Summer House showdown between Ciara and Jesse that has us screaming. PLUS, which Giggly Squad co-host is our new BFFL? Buckle up, besties, the REWIND crew is back in the studio. 💅🏽🗽

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.
