  • REWIND: How Anne Hathaway got labelled a ‘try-hard,’ with Alex Sujong Laughlin
    May 6 2026

    This week, as The Devil Wears Prada 2 reigns in theatres, revisit a recent episode from our archives! In this episode, we take on one of our favourites: Anne Hathaway, and with a very special guest: Alex Sujong Laughlin, the co-creator of Normal Gossip and host of pod Try Hard! Speaking of, that's what this episode is all about: how Anne went from America’s Princess™ to “try-hard” punching bag to the girlfriend of an all-time scammer and, finally, a beloved icon. It's a singular trajectory, and one we dig deep into. (Really, this is personal for these three former theatre kids.)

  • Hot Off The Press: Dissecting Lena Dunham's Famesick
    Apr 29 2026

    We decided to speed-read Lena Dunham's new memoir and tell our listeners all about it. Our verdict? The gossip in Famesick is juicier than a ripe peach, so we're examining every delicious detail. Does Lena believe her ex Jack Antonoff had an affair with Lorde? What was Adam Driver like on the set of Girls (Spoiler: pretty sketchy), and why did she stop working with writing partner Jenni Conner? Don't bother pouring yourself a cup of tea while listening to this episode, because Famesick is full of it! It's also a gorgeously written book that reminds us of humour and insight that first brought Lena into the spotlight. This might be one of the most millennial books ever written...

  • REWIND: Does Lena Dunham deserve yet another comeback?
    Apr 22 2026

    While we take a little break this week, revisit this episode from the archives, in which we discuss the many scandals of one Lena Dunham, the frequently problematic, award-winning writer, filmmaker and actor. Although she has managed to piss off just about every community at some point in time, she did create the seminal series Girls — so, does she deserve a return? Is she truly a voice of a generation? Especially with her recent new series Too Much, and her brand new memoir Famesick out this month? Let's discuss!
