Bestie, Listen is your weekly deep dive into the hyper-specific corners of pop culture, where nostalgia, internet lore, and cultural chaos collide. It’s the chaotic recap, twenty years too late, that you didn’t know you needed, because nothing is too niche or too sacred. Hosted by Sean Ross and Jordan Appugliesi, each episode revisits the moments, trends, and pop culture eras that defined us. Whether it’s a genre that disappeared, a legacy that doesn’t quite hold up, or a cultural moment that deserves a second look, this is where we celebrate it, drag it, and occasionally spiral about it… all with just enough chaos to make you wonder if we should have kept that to ourselves. Stream Bestie, Listen on iHeartRadio, Crave, or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Why We Keep Fighting About Movie Musicals

    Why We Keep Fighting About Movie Musicals
    Jul 9 2026

    Today, we’re talking movie musicals. The genre where the emotions are huge, the budgets are outrageous, and one bad casting choice can send an entire fandom into crisis. From Broadway classics to billion‑dollar blockbusters, this episode dives into the beautiful, dramatic chaos of adapting stage musicals for the screen. Sometimes you get a cultural reset, sometimes you get a cinematic masterpiece, and sometimes you get Wicked Part 2 sending theatre kids into a full public breakdown. Because no genre understands camp, chaos, and overreaction better than a movie musical.

    Who Gets to Be a Gay Diva?
    Jul 2 2026

    Who is your diva? It’s the question that starts everything. From pop royalty to the most unexpected cultural icons, the diva you claim reveals your entire personality. This episode unpacks what it takes to be a diva, what it really means to become an icon, and why some figures, from Martha Stewart to Miss Piggy, exist somewhere in between.

  • Do We Really Need a Buffy Revival?

    Do We Really Need a Buffy Revival?
    Jun 25 2026

    We’ll say it. Buffy the Vampire Slayer does not need a revival. It’s controversial, but it’s true. This is the show we loved, cried over, and still feel deeply protective of. But does that automatically mean we need a new one? Probably not. Buffy taught us that resurrection comes with consequences… the real question is, will we actually listen?
