Happy Friday, you pop culture junkies! Well, better late than never as the saying goes? Thank you for your patience this week. We had some technical difficulties which prevented us from publishing on Thursday. And while the audio is still a little wonky in areas, it was saved! And I would like to personally thank the incredible Rachel Sklar and Ron Passaro the producer extraordinaire who made this entire thing possible and brought it back to life. I am SO grateful. This was the first guest we have had in a long time so it was so sad to think it would never see the light of day.
We have the LEGENDARY Alyssa Mastromonaco who was the youngest White House Deputy Chief of Staff who served under Obama. She is a best-selling author of TWO books, She is the podcaster behind the hit podcast, Hysteria. She is a jam maker. A cat mom. And just an incredible friend. And we get INTO it. We do a little DC dish because we HAVE to, of course. We talk Harry and Meghan. Gaga and Rio. And of course, the MET GALA. Keep in mind, this was recorded before the new Pope so you have to read next week’s newsletter for that.
And housekeeping news. We are going to take a little break from the pod while I build up the team and bring it back to life in a format that will be delightful. Stay tuned!

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense.

With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
