We Need to Talk About Taylor. Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

This week, Hannah is fighting the LA heatwave and coping with Dolly Parton-induced grief the only way she knows how: talking sh*t. She marvels at a recent encounter with a shockingly unfriendly Trader Joe's employee, dishes on Belmont Cameli's new Starbucks commercial, delivers shockingly wise tips on how to nail a networking event, and introduces the easy at-home self-care hack you never knew you needed: spa showers and cosmic space showers. Turn on the shower, light a candle, and press play on that Enya playlist. It's hot girl o'clock in more ways than one (THANKS TO THIS DAMN HEAT).

Kinda Chic to Drag Bethenny Frankel's Supermodel Cafe (and other unhinged thoughts) Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

Hannah is back, solo and unfiltered as ever! This week, she shares behind-the-scenes scoop from the FYC Summer House Panel (and it's juicy), weighs in on Bethenny Frankel's cheug-tastic Supermodel Cafe, and makes a completely unapologetic case for why Jon Bernthal taboo romance edits are the fantasy she never knew she needed. Grab your emotional support beverage, get cozy, and prepare to feel seen, because this is a lol-forward, judgment-free zone (unless you're Bethenny Frankel and/or drive a BMW).
