Sarah Wynn-Williams' Memoir Careless People (with Traci Thomas and Becca Platsky)

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0000

Chelsea is joined by two returning icons, Traci Thomas (The Stacks) and Becca Platsky (Corporate Gossip), to cover “Careless People,” the explosive memoir by ex-Facebook exec Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Buckle up because this book is a Silicon Valley horror show meets a girlboss reckoning. Come for Sheryl Sandberg’s lingerie-inspired “come to bed” stories, stay for Mark Cuckerberg learning to read, and run for your life when you face the Harvard karaoke-loving idiots who are breaking democracy. And somehow… it all circles back to Henry Kissinger.

Sheryl Sandberg’s Memoir Lean In (with Becca Platsky)

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0000

Chelsea and Becca Platsky (host of the Corporate Gossip podcast) put on their office peplum and stinky ballet flats to travel back to 2013 and book club Sheryl Sandberg’s memoir "Lean In." This widely popular book told women to get a seat at the table, only for that table to be run by Mark Zuckerberg in a Benson Boone jumpsuit chugging from a red solo cup. They unpack Lean In's cultural impact and discuss whether or not you can draw a straight line from its publication to the disappearance of the Women's March come 2025. But fear not! Becca and Chelsea dissect, unpack, and make a plan for the future that does not include Sheryl’s dating advice to casually fly men to São Paulo for a vibe check.

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini’s Memoirs: Their Best-Friend Breakup

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Chelsea and podcast producer Kristina Lopez dive deep into the friendship between Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini by combing through the pages of their memoirs — “True Love” and “Troublemaker” — to find insights into their best friend breakup and now rumored reconciliation. Since our media landscape is lacking authentic female friendship break-up stories, they explore this one to the max: from the timeline of how J.Lo and Leah's bond unraveled to their glamorous shared moments at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ lavish wedding to the quiet rift that left Leah absent from J.Lo’s high-profile wedding to Ben Affleck. Chelsea and Kristina use this friendship story to explore the beautiful, nuanced, and powerful love that can exist in female friendships — and what happens when that bond is broken.

Educated & The Glass Castle

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Chelsea and Elizabeth Day (How to Fail) take a hard look at two often compared memoirs: Tara Westover’s 2018 memoir Educated, and Jeannette Wall’s 2005 memoir The Glass Castle. The Glass Castle was accepted as a true recounting of a dysfunctional childhood, while Tara Westover was accused of making up or exaggerating her accounts of her family in Educated. Why would one be believed unquestioningly, and one be controversial? Is it the internet’s fault? Backlash to the #MeToo movement in 2018? Or does our culture have a problem with women who cut ties with their families?

And so, Celebrity Book Club has become Glamorous Trash!
