Walk the runway with us as we dig into American fashion icon Donna Karan and her memoir "My Journey" live from Bowery Ballroom. We discuss her journey from commuting to Parsons to becoming the Queen of 7th Avenue, and everything in between. We delve into her uneven friendship with Barbra Streisand, why you can never gain weight in the shoulders, steamy affairs, branding DKNY, fundraising for Haiti with Wyclef Jean, and of course redefining the way women dress #desk2dinner.

Crouching Pillow, Hidden Fridge! This week we kneel and pray to the interior design power couple Syd and Shea McGee as we discuss their marital memoir, "Make Life Beautiful." No teaching of John is left untouched while we talk about falling in love at BYU, their hit Netflix show "Dream Home Makeover," marrying a gay guy, the anti-dining-room revolution, Cat Power, inventing “the drop zone,” Shea’s bracelet business, and deciding Mormonism is actually the most indie religion of them all. Our two-year mission is completed!

Pass that duchess! California resident Meghan Markle has finally penned a children's book called "The Bench." Join us on a journey from Toronto to Buckingham Palace to Tyler Perry's pool house as we uncover the not-so-subtle messaging in the abdicated Duchess' fatherhood fantasia, talk about her still-launching jam/wine/yoga/salt brand American Riviera Orchard, oxford commas, supporting your ballerina son, the incredible dialogue of "Suits," her defunct lifestyle blog, and the most strained bench metaphor in herstory. God Bless America.

Giddy up, cowgirls! Time travel with us to the 1870s as we read famously problematic wife Elizabeth Bacon Custer’s book "Boots and Saddles." This historical ho spent her whole life writing books defending husband General Custer’s legacy…obsessed much?! We try to cover it all and talk about plover sandwiches, the Sioux tribe, beautiful fabrics, wartime pranks, rewriting history, making love in saloons, getting drunk on lamp oil, our boy Ulysses S. Grant, horse death, and generally being a freaking guy's girl.

Happy Pride, awesome humans! This week we celebrate queer actor (better known as the pan/poly star of the TV show "Younger") and activist Nico Tortorella and their book "The Space Between." We discuss setting boundaries, painting with c*m, threesomes with Zoe Kravitz, bottoming, white dreads, making saddle bags, sticking a spoon up your a**, toxic breakup emails, the heyday of the CW, and MORE because, just like polyamory, podcasting is a never-ending conversation.

Mix up a Brandy Alexander and sink into your living room as we discuss yacht rock king Michael McDonald's memoir, “What a Fool Believes.” We dive into the prolific sexy baritone's tome and discuss The Doobie Brothers, going from punchline to legend, eating Taco Bell in the 70s, piano lessons, running "snow" for chicks, discovering hummus on tour, and why indie guys love Steely Dan so much. Plus, we ponder how we would've gotten out of the Nam draft. Take this episode to the streets, baby!

Get in loser, let's start a business! We are finally discussing Bethenny Frankel’s entrepreneurial Bible, “Business is Personal.” The self-proclaimed “only woman to retire from RHONY” takes us on a journey as only she can through the highs and lows of her career from the birth of Skinnygirl™ to doing the walk of shame through Trump Tower. She talks swimsuit lines gone wrong, negotiating with Andy Cohen, nannying for Paris Hilton, girls named Zoe, and admiring Kathy Ireland’s sock/insurance business model. Plus, stay tuned for stock tips from our very own Bethenny (aka Steven)!

CW: We do a taste test of a Skinnygirl™ salad dressing. You’ve been warned!
