Latest Episodes

Where to Start

Martha Stewart, M. Night Shyamalan, & The Betches Book Club

This week, Aleen, Sami, and Jordana are here to distract you - and themselves - from the news cycle with a deep dive into the new Martha Stewart documentary that hit Netflix last week. They compare notes on all their favorite moments, peruse her incredible Instagram account (if you’re not following @marthastewart48, you have no idea what you’re missing), and talk about her recent NYT interview where she shared her less-than-favorable thoughts on how it turned out. In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. To close out the episode, Jordana gives her review of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, Trap. Our Betch of the Week is, of course, Martha Stewart. But we’re also sending her to the Caymans, because, like all true icons, she’s flawed.  Make sure to get your copy of Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter and read chapters 1-8, so you can join us on Monday, November 11th for the first episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits! We’ll be covering the book for the next 4 Mondays, right here in the @Betches podcast feed. 

Timmy Crashes His Lookalike Contest, Zoë & Channing Call It Quits, & Nick Cannon Says Mariah Carey Is An “Alpha”

This week, Aleen and Jordana celebrate Halloween in the studio in matching Carmela and Tony Soprano costumes (check @aleen and @jordanaabraham on IG for the full fits). They kick things off with the spookiest story of the week: Armie Hammer's newly announced podcast, aptly named "The Armie HammerTime Podcast." Next, Timothée Chalamet showed up at his own lookalike contest in NY this week, and Aleen and Jordana get caught up on some of the the ClubChalamet lore. Moving on to celeb relationship news: Despite recent public appearances together looking loved up, Zoë Kravtiz and Channing Tatum have reportedly split - and Jenna Dewan’s fiancé seems to find that hilarious, for reasons unknown. Gisele Bündchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor/boyfriend are expecting their first child together, and Tom Brady might be feeling kind of emo about it, if his IG stories are any indication. Nick Cannon opened up about feeling insecure during his marriage to “Alpha” Mariah Carey, which leads to a conversation about relationship dynamics within successful couples. Jordana and Aleen share their thoughts on A Friend Of The Family, streaming on Peacock (true crime counts for Halloween, right?). Then, a game of Ick or Treat with five pop culture moments from the week, from Ariana Grande’s bf on the cover of GQ to Kim’s birthday post for Caitlyn. Finally, a tribute to queen of Halloween, Heidi Klum, who we’d love to share a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider. We’re sending Armie back to the Caymans yet again, and Steve Kazee to the Caymans for cackling on IG stories after the Zoe/Channing breakup. 

The Kardashians’ Wicked Screening, Is Justin Bieber Suing His Former Business Managers? And J Lo’s Ex Speaks Out

While Aleen’s off in LA, Jordana and Sami debate the pros and cons of the LA vs. NY lifestyles. Next, the Betches Canceled Plans issue is officially live, and they discuss the joys of both canceling and getting canceled on. Onto the pop culture headlines, Kylie is on the November cover of Elle, but Jordana’s more concerned with Wicked’s marketing team’s decision to host a special screening for the Kardashian-Jenner kids. In other news, what’s going on with Justin Bieber’s finances? We’ll be keeping an eye out for a potential future lawsuit. Then, much as it pains Jordana and Sami to discuss this without Aleen, J Lo’s ex-husband Ojani Noa went on TV this week and blamed Diddy for their divorce. Honestly, we just want a deep dive documentary on what really happened during the two years J Lo and Diddy dated. And at long last, Jordana and Sami share their long-awaited thoughts on It Ends With Us. Finally, they decide which celeb of the week they are sharing a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider. Our Betch of the Week is Anna Kendrick, for her directorial debut Woman of the Year on Netflix, and we’re sending both of the marketing teams for Wicked and It Ends With Us to the Caymans.
