Dissecting our Pop Princess Summer: Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Charlie XCX and more...
With Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Renee Raap, Charlie XCX and Taylor Swift dominating the headlines this summer there's so much to get into. Who is horny for who? What does "sapphic" mean? Why is the media sleeping on Tinashe and Normani? How did Chappell get so big so fast? And are our pop girlies feuding? Not to mention... do we miss feuds? I think we do?? Producer Kristina Lopez and Associate Producer Jerrin Padre join Chelsea for a retrospective, celebrating how queer and empowered our artists are now, and just how much has changed since 2004, when icons like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Mandy Moore and Pink were our reigning divas.Where to order Chelsea’s book:

Donna Summer’s Memoir Ordinary Girl (with Holly Laurent)
Chelsea and Holly Laurent (Mega podcast co-host) embark on a horny (yet also biblical) journey into the electrifying world of Donna Summer, the ‘70s Disco Queen.

Whether you're a long-time fan or new to Donna Summer's music, buckle the hell up, because it's about to get weird. If you or anyone you know is struggling, there's help available at Crisis Text Line by texting the word HOME to 741-741, or the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.
