The Gist — Music
The Gist

The Gist is a pop culture podcast and celebrity interview series where yesterday’s icons and today’s headlines collide.

Hosted by writer and cultural commentator Chris Vetrano, each episode goes beyond surface-level entertainment news to explore the stories behind the moments that shaped us — from 90s and 2000s pop music nostalgia to reality TV, Real Housewives drama, and the celebrities redefining pop culture right now.

Expect unfiltered conversations, thoughtful deep dives, and smart breakdowns of the biggest headlines in entertainment, plus interviews with the artists, actors, and reality stars who defined a generation. Guests have included Willa Ford, Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees, Wells Adams, Lindsay Ell, Leva Bonaparte of Southern Charm, David Archuleta, Cassadee Pope, and more.

If you grew up on TRL, reality TV reunions, and dancing in your bedroom to “zig-a-zig ahh,” this pop culture podcast is for you.

New episodes drop on Tuesdays everywhere you listen. Now available in video on Spotify and YouTube.
