On this week’s show, a porn star’s tweet leads to a mysterious death. Or does it? There’s a new true crime podcast in town from Jon Ronson (The Last Days of August), and Ira Glass (The American Life) is here to let us know about it. And, Queer Eye for the podcast guy! Jonathan Van Ness tackles cults, and who might be vulnerable to an especially delicious brunch at the Scientology Centre. Gina and Teresa celebrate some of the podcast world's best johns.

Easy Listening - Ep.6 - "Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" May 09, 2019

Show notes

This week, Jane Fonda made be 81, but she’s still down for some acting lessons, as she explains on “WTF.” She also had a deeply flawed childhood, which you can learn about in great detail on “You Must Remember This.” If celebrities opening up about their inner conflicts gives your inner ears joy, this week we also feature Zachary Levi on “Inside of You,” — the actor is keen on a very unusual and enigmatic therapeutic tool that’s part personality test, part Zodiac. On“Going Through It,” a famous cookbook author explains why saying no is good, except when her boss said no to some fancy Parmesan cheese.

And speaking of cheesy, if you’ve ever felt too unattractive to join a club, “This is Love” reveals a tight-knit group of Italians who find love and acceptance in The Ugly Club, which might make you Ugly Cry.

Easy Listening - Ep. 5 - "Fresh Death Can Be Tricky" May 06, 2019

Show notes

Gina and Teresa find themselves at the strange intersection where “To Live and Die in LA” meets “Missing Richard Simmons.” Gina may miss him the most since she was actually his student and she shares the magic words he once told the class on election night. Esther Perel pulls one of those cool “Did a therapist really say that?” moves, and the measles are really, really bad. Plus, on this week's podcast about podcasts, a writer from “The Wire” tells his story on “The Moth,” which leads to a confession about Gina and professional wrestling.

Also, what does Howie Mandel have to say about the sexual prowess of the Jewess?

Easy Listening - Ep.3 - "The Bitch Is Back" Apr 19, 2019

Show notes

This week, one of the most painful moments from the Adam CarollaShow, the “Bitch Bag” is unearthed for your Easy Listening pleasure. Gina worries that her chin might be trying to kill her (and that your boobs might be trying to kill you) after listening to What’s the Tee with RuPaul. Both hosts take a ride on the Tim Ferriss Wheel for some talk about how magic mushrooms may be the new Xanax. And finally, Oprah and Eckhart Tolle teach us how to keep from getting our feelings hurt.

Easy Listening - Ep.2 - "I'm Not Comfortable With The Touching" Apr 13, 2019

Show notes

This week, Gina shares two classic parody songs from the Adam Carolla Show vault, both of which lead to some very personal and wildly uncomfortable revelations. Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle discuss why we should never talk about our illnesses, and Teresa’s pod crush, Pete Holmes, has to stop his own show because he gets so emotional. So much podcast about podcasts!
