  • Fun Listen!

    I like this podcast as one of my lighter ones to listen to. Love hearing about the books and very much appreciate that you remind us of the context of the time it was written or written about!

  • Thankful for the guest hosts

    For the most part, Chelsea does a great job of providing layered and dynamic commentary but sometimes I find that she lacks nuance and that she is not as feminist as she thinks she is? Luckily she has great guests who are able to point out the shades of grey.

    For example, when speaking about the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni video she says, “in terms of sexual harassment if I were a judge that would not be sexual harassment,” which means she is only looking at this video for face value and not t... more

  • Scheana Memwah Coverage

    Perfect podcast! Love! No notes. But - wanted to share that Scheana had to know that everyone (including Lisa and Brandi) knew that she’d had an affair with Eddie because Scheana went straight to ET or Access Hollywood or Extra to do a mini-interview about Eddie cheating on her with Leann the day after Brandi gave US Weekly the exclusive on the Eddie/Leann affair because that’s how I recognized Scheana during the hot open of Vanderpump (and also how Brandi even found out about Scheana as well). ... more

  • best podcast discovery of the year

    I found Glamorous Trash in 2025 and it quickly became one of my favourite listens. Chelsea Devantez brings such heart, humour, and honesty to every episode. She has introduced me to books I never would have picked up on my own but enjoy hearing about, like Scheana Shay but also introducing me to books I’ve now read, including Gabrielle Union and Chelsea’s own memoir, both of which I absolutely loved.

    The mix of personal storytelling, inside industry insight, and thoughtful conversations with so... more

  • Thoughtful and surprising

    What is so special about this pod are the memoir episodes I *don’t* think I’m going to be interested in. While I LOVE the rest of the pod, it’s during those eps that i not only enjoy the conversation, learn about someone’s life, etc etc. I always end up learning so much from Chelsea and co. about life, society, culture, and the diversity of meaning in women’s lives. Thanks for you do!
