Not bad for a girl with no talent! This week we explore the singing careers of two artists who defied the odds and gained popularity despite critical disfavor: Florence Foster Jenkins and Sanjaya Malakar. These icons remind us not to listen to the haters, either by choice or by syphilis, and to chase our dreams. Plus, hear about how Ellie became a mother, Coachella being back, and how the Presidential Medal of Freedom REALLY came to be.

What do America’s first female mayor and Trisha Paytas have in common? Their commitment to the bit. This week, Anneliese and Ellie discuss the prank that led to Susanna M.

We also discuss all the TV that was hot in Q1 of 2025, how to pick a major that allows you to go to the doctor later in life, and which snake oils we are currently incorporating into our wellness routines.
