Dr. Daniel Rosen Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

This week, Rosie chats with bariatric surgeon, Dr. Daniel Rosen. Rosie was recently prescribed Mounjaro to control her diabetes. (Mounjaro is approved strictly to treat Type 2 diabetes and it has not yet been F.D.A approved as a weight loss drug.) Since being on it, Rosie has experienced slow and steady weight loss and, even more surprising, she's been able to say goodbye to the non-stop food chatter she's had to deal with for years. In her opinion, Rosie's been given a miracle drug and she wanted more info about it to be able to share whatever trusted information she could find with others. Dr. Rosen, as a medical specialist in both weight management and specifically Mounjaro, is on TikTok relaying reliable and relatable information to help answer questions and to remove stigma surrounding obesity and its treatments. So Rosie reached out to him. Listen in as they discuss these new drugs, costs, the diet industry, and living a healthy positive shame-free lifestyle.

Kristin Chenoweth Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

On this week's episode, Rosie catches up with her dear friend and 'little sister,' Kristin Chenoweth. In 1999, after Rosie saw Kristin in the Broadway show, You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, in the role of Sally, Rosie predicted she was going to be a "huge huge huge star." And as we now know, Rosie was correct. But what neither of them realized back when Kristin first came on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, was that that was the beginning of a longstanding friendship, which later led them to become each other's chosen family. After not seeing each other for a while, listen in as Rosie and Kristin catch up in only the way sisters do, sharing updates on their personal lives, as well as how they're adjusting to the world at large.

Reality Winner Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

In 2018, Rosie heard about a case involving a woman named Reality Winner, who was arrested and charged with sending a classified document anonymously to the news outlet The Intercept. The leaked document confirmed Russian interference in the 2016 election. In the immediate aftermath of her arrest, Winner was vilified in the press and by the sitting president and his administration. And that propelled Rosie to work even harder to find out the truth. After Rosie eventually connected with Winner's mother, and then Winner herself, a friendship of trust and support blossomed between all 3 of them. Now, with Winner out of jail —though still under the terms of parole and house arrest, Winner and Rosie share a conversation to help clarify what really went on and why.
