    146. When Justin Bieber Met Selena Gomez: Part II *TEASER*

    29/04/2026 | 9 mins.
    When we last left Justin & Selena, they were not talking. Or talking? It’s so hard to keep up! Anyway, now it’s 2014. Justin’s deep in his party phase, and Selena has just pulled the plug on the end of her tour after being diagnosed with Lupus.

    Over the next four years, the amount of drama that would transpire would give anyone whiplash. We’re going month by month to piece together their on-and-off situationship, marked by Justin’s constant fuckboy behavior and Selena’s health struggles in the height of mega-fame. The episode is stacked with an ensemble cast of recurring characters, including Hailey Baldwin, the KarJenners, The Weeknd, a revolving door of models, and more.

    From the outside, it’s easy to judge and call their story messy. But at its core, it’s a familiar cycle most of us recognize from our younger years. We have all had that friend who kept going back to the ex who treated them terribly….or maybe we’ve been that friend ourselves. Why do some relationships make us override all sense of reason and logic and bring out the worst in ourselves? Why is it sometimes so hard to walk away when we know better? And what does it take to finally let go for good?

    145. When Justin Bieber Met Selena Gomez: Part I

    15/04/2026 | 1h 48 mins.
    Justin Bieber…but we gotta keep an eye out for Selenerrr. This is a couple we have been putting off for A WHILE. In the early 2010s, “Jelena” was arguably one of the most massive young power couples in the biz. Their lore is lengthy, and their shippers are…sometimes a little scary. It’s an intimidating task to tackle their complicated history when so many already have, but we would be remiss to leave this stone unturned.
    So, we’re tackling them in two parts to do it justice. Today, we’re heading back to the early days, an innocent time when Selena looked like she could be Justin’s babysitter. We’re talking about how they first got together, their cutesy “couple goals” moments, their break-up in 2013, and their subsequent attempts to remain “friends” the rest of the year.
    Next episode, we’ll cover their relationship from 2014 through 2018 and beyond, with appearances from Hailey Baldwin and many, many more models and characters in a circle that’s far too small.

    143: When Uma Thurman Met Ethan Hawke *TEASER*

    25/03/2026 | 8 mins.
    We’re drawing back the curtain on one of Hollywood’s most interesting ‘90s “It couples”: Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. From their electric on-set chemistry in Gattaca to their whirlwind romance and elusive wedding, we’re breaking down all the drama behind Uma and Ethan’s frequent red carpet appearances. 
    They’re a Significant Lovers couple for the books: secret dating, unplanned pregnancy, jealousy, and, of course, a “humiliating” scandal that Uma did not see coming.

    142: When Shah Jahan Met Mumtaz Mahal

    11/03/2026 | 1h 26 mins.
    We’re exploring the famous love story behind one of the seven modern wonders of the world -- The Taj Mahal. The relationship between Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal went beyond the typical polygamous marriage of royal courts at the time, and became a romance remembered for its fidelity, fertility (!), and tragedy.
    From their first meeting at a royal bazaar in the Mughal Empire, to their devout marriage on the campaign trail, to its heartbreaking end that inspired one of the world’s most iconic monuments.
    Join and listen as we discuss love, death, and polygamous marriages. And ask each other (and you) if polygamous marriages work? And if you would consider entering one?
