Teacher Lunch Unwrapped

Teacher Lunch Unwrapped

Teacher Lunch Unwrapped is the show where two Italian-American women sit down, pour the espresso, and say everything everyone else is thinking but won't. Jenn and Mel are former teachers, best friends since 1996, and mothers of four each. Every episode they bring you into their world through real unfiltered conversation, original Italian-American skits, and home cooking straight from the family kitchen. From the unwritten rules they grew up with to the stories that probably should have stayed at the table, nothing is off limits and nobody is holding back. This is Italian-American culture, Sunday lunch energy, and thirty years of friendship all in one show. New episodes every month. Subscribe so you never miss one.

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026. If you would like to reach out to the Love Trapped team, email us at lovetrappedpod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
