REWIND: The Podcast

OSCAR NOMS, GRAMMY PREDICTIONS, EXECUTIVE ORDERS W/ TRAITORS & TEA

Baby, it's been a week in Trump’s America, and we’ve got thoughts. From DEI programs getting the boot to a bishop (SUPPOSEDLY) stirring up drama, and even rumors of a third term—what is happening?! Plus, we dive into the most random tea (ALLEGEDLY, ALLEGEDLY!!) about a former front man of a Christian rock band. Meanwhile, is Beyoncé about to drop some news or just playing with us? We dive into the 2025 Grammy predictions and lock in our own, unpack the Oscars nomination chaos, and gag over the latest twists in Traitors. It's all tea, shade, and we are keepin’ it real this week. Don’t miss it, besties! 💅🏾✨

Happy New Year, besties! 🎉 In our first episode of 2025, we’re reflecting on the highs, the laughs, and the chaos of the past year. Blake and Raven spill their favorite moments of 2024, share hopes and dreams for 2025 (hint: the podcast glow-up is real), and tackle the age-old debate: Are New Year’s resolutions a scam? Plus, we count down our top 3 fave podcast moments since launch and wrap it all up with good vibes and a heartfelt Happy New Year. 🥂✨ Grab the champagne—it’s time to celebrate!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

TRUE CRIME DOCS, DISNEY ADULTS, VACATION BRAIN & NETFLIX HOLIDAY SLAYS

Blake’s off jet-setting this week, so we’re holding the big headlines—like the United Healthcare scandal, Jamie Foxx’s Netflix special, and Raven’s wild country concert adventure—for next week’s tea spill. In the meantime, Raven’s got a surprising Martha Stewart obsession thanks to her new Netflix doc, and we’re speculating if Blake’s vacation splurge is worth it.

Blake and Raven spill tea on Joe Biden pardoning Hunter and the fallout that followed, Drake’s brewing legal drama with Kendrick Lamar’s label, and the chaos (and creativity) on our TikTok For You pages. Don’t worry, we only mention Wicked for two minutes this time! It’s messy, it’s funny, it’s unmissable. Tune in, besties! 🎤✨

GOBBLE, GOBBLE! TIKTOK TEA, LIAM’S FUNERAL, KAHLID OUT, & A TRIP TO THE CMA'S
