    Eating For Free

    Hosted by journalists Joan Summers and Matthew Lawson, Eating For Free is a weekly podcast that explores gossip and power in the pop culture landscape: Where it comes from, who wields it, and who suffers at the hands of it. Find out the stories behind the stories, as together they look beyond the headlines of troublesome YouTubers or scandal-ridden A-Listers, and delve deep into the inner workings of Hollywood’s favorite pastime. The truth, they’ve found, is definitely stranger than any gossip.

    Fixer Upper Transformed Waco, Texas Into An Instagram-able Capitalist Nightmare Apr 25, 2019
    Show notes

    What happens when two reality television stars turn a former cult stronghold and out of the way Texas town into a mecca for the Instagram obsessed, Christian millennial? How have Chip & Joanna Gaines' Fixer Upper empire, rebranded as Magnolia, changed the landscape of the American tourist industry? What does the future hold for the ravaged town of Waco as taxes rise, housing prices skyrocket, and their local industries cater to out of town investment bankers? We investigate!

    Eating For Free is a bi-weekly gossip podcast reporting from the edge of the internet! We're a new wave of celebrity reporters at a time when pop culture is increasingly chaotic and media lacks the ability or moral direction to make sense of this capitalist nightmare!

    Captain Marvel & The U.S. Military's Hollywood Propaganda Machine (Part Two) Apr 04, 2019
    Show notes

    For almost 100 years, the American Military has funded, controlled, and manipulated Hollywood's image of the Armed Forces. With the release of Marvel's Captain America, we investigate the disturbingly deep ties between the Pentagon and the biggest blockbusters the world has ever seen. Our government claims it isn't recruitment or rehabilitation propaganda but the facts say otherwise! More than ever, we advise you to strap in tight- it's gonna be a rough and dangerous ride.

Lisa Vanderpump did body shots with noted Oscar winner Stefani Germanotta? Kat Von D outed herself as an anti-vaxxer, AGAIN?
