Many of you have suggested that we start a podcast. We’ve been thinking about it for months and finally did it. We’ve been particularly inspired by Dlisted The Podcast with Michael K and Allison and Lainey Gossip’s Show Your Work with Lainey and Duana. Both shows helped give us a template for how to do this and we owe them a lot.
You can listen below and through libsyn. (Update: We’re now on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play Music, Pocket Casts, Cast Box and I’m working on a few more.)
This episode was recorded last Thursday, which will be our usual recording day, with episodes coming out on Mondays fingers crossed. It was so much fun chatting about our coverage, answering your questions and discussing what’s coming up. In this first episode, Chandra (Kaiser) and I talk about our favorite looks at The Golden Globes, including Gemma Chan, Saoirse Ronan and Kiki Layne. We also cover awards season controversies like Lady Gaga apologizing for working with R. Kelly, Peter Farrelly exposing himself and Bohemian Rhapsody’s association with rapist Bryan Singer. Chandra covers Serena Williams coming back to tennis this week after she was labeled a diva for standing up for herself to an umpire. We also answer your questions, including dishing about celebrities who have contacted us, and a lawsuit that I was defendant in. Plus we introduce our new weekly feature, the comment of the week! (Spoiler, the first photo below is the one I mention in that section.)
A technical note: We were using an online recording service that made our audio sound a little garbled in parts. You may notice some delays where this is happening. We’re going to fix that for the next episode.
You can contact us with questions for the show by commenting here, leaving a voicemail at 434-218-3219 (that goes straight to voicemail and you can text us there too), emailing us at info-at-celebitchy.com or contacting us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Feedback and constructive criticism will only help us improve.
Thank you so much everyone who listened to our earlier podcast draft and gave feedback including Aurélie and O Rhilly. Also a big shout out to Ellie, who left us a nice message on voicemail.
We really appreciate you listening, rating and subscribing! We’re new and it helps us grow.
Here are some of the Golden Globes looks we talk about on the show!

Yay! I am so pumped for this! The idea of listening to this on my ride home today is totally getting me through my Tuesday blues.
Yay! I’m excited. I’m going to listen while I’m at the gym today.
My question is: Who is your favorite & who is your most dreaded celebrity to cover & why?
We will answer this for the upcoming podcast!
Squeel I will be sure to tune in. Well done for setting up a podcast. xx
This is fantastic news, congratulations! I love the title art/logo and I cannot wait to listen!
Yay!!!!!
Yay! I know what I’m listening to today!
I’ve been mispronouncing celebitchy for years now. Years!
It’s ok everyone does that! It’s like celebrity but you just say “bitchy” at the end. It’s supposed to flow like celebrity. Sell-eh-bitchy.
I misspelt the name on Google search most of the time.
I was doing it like “sell-a-bitchy”. It’s a minor difference but you can hear it.
manda, I was pronouncing it as “sell-a-bitchy,” too. lol
Right? Me too!
SAME I’ve been putting the accent on the third syllable! Sell-a-B*TCH-y! And I’ve been reading since 2013 :/
Seriously tho, this is awesome and y’all sound great. Much love!
“Gassip”! #accentsSoCute
Lol – that was my thought, too! So southern and adorable. I 💛 US accents.
This is exciting! I will most definitely add you guys to my queue (and maybe stop my binge listening of My Favorite Murder. One thing that would be interesting to listen is maybe coverage of celebrity cults (not just Scientology, there are so many others!)! Those fascinate me and I always wonder how so many people get sucked into those
I second this! I’m obsessed with celebrity religious/cult-like behavior!
I’m so excited you’re doing this!!
Just listened – you guys were awesome!! Excellent job, I loved it!!
Thank you so much! If you would like to rate and review us on Stitcher it will help!

Yay! Can’t wait to listen. I have been podcasting since 2007 and if you ever need any help, would be happy to lend a hand or answer any questions at all. SO EXCITED for this!
Ooooohhhhh! Y’all! Can you please figure out how to get onto Castbox? That’s what I use. I’m new (ish) to podcasts because I changed jobs in September and now have a sh!tty Austin commute. Podcasts keep me sane. Mostly I listen to political podcasts (Mueller She Wrote is my fave and Resistance Live is also great). But I’d totally listen to y’all!!
OK! I will look into this!
I think I did this? I signed up and verified and everything. I don’t know how long it will take to get there though.
I’ll check and see as soon as I escape from work meetings. I’m so excited about this, y’all!! Seriously, CB has become the first site I visit in the morning since the 2016 election because of the fun and amazing gossip and the political commentary and the community of smart CBers. Getting you guys in podcast form is such a cool thing!!
Ooooh I’ve never listened to those 2 political ones, but that sounds right up my alley.
Very cool!! I’m a podcast junkie!!
Love hearing your voices! I didn’t know about the pronunciation either. I’m new to listening to podcasts so this will push me to get better at it. Pretty slick for your first try!
I am so happy for you guys!!! I can’t wait to listen and excited for you to build out your business. I am so grateful for all the joy Celebitchy brings me and am excited for you to make an amazing living by expanding your reach!!!
Where do most people accumulate and listen to their favorite pods?
I use Podcast Republic. I’ll definitely be tuning into this. Much excitement! 🙂
Yay, I can’t wait! I’m a tech moron so get all my podcasts through the iTunes app on my phone and listen to them while driving or jogging, so please give an update as soon as you’re on there and I’ll subscribe instantly!
Me too!!!! Keep us posted 🙂
Awesome! I’m excited! I’ll add your podcast to my Favorites Playlist in Stitcher! I’m always running out of shows and looking for more good content.
I love how you gave us some blinds to discuss here 😉
Fantastic!
Excellent job on this podcast! Loved the not so blind item 😂
Thank you that’s so nice to hear!
This is exciting news! Any plans to be on iTunes soon?
Yes I applied! It takes a little while I think.
Update for any Castbox users, the podcast can now be found there! I just subscribed and set to auto download new podcasts. 🙂
I cannot unsee the similarities between Cooper and Manilow now. Oy.
Yay!!!! Gonna listen later!
Loved it!
You guys have voices MADE for podcasting.
And I am so happy to know your real names 😄
finally a podcast….
I’ve never wrote a comment on Celebitchy before (long-time reader first time commenter, can’t even remember when I discovered the site, circa 2009-10?), but it’s the first website I check in the morning and continually visit throughout the day. I only recently started listening to podcasts and I am so excited to add this one the roster. I’ve been using Spotify as my main platform to consumer podcasts, but will try out the others to get my fix of “Gossip with Celebitchy”. Thank you for taking the leap to create this new podcast—I can’t wait to give it a listen!
OMG!!! I’m so excited!!!! Now if you guys had an app, all of my celebitchy dreams would have come true!
Do you think your podcast would come to Pocket Casts?
I look forward to listening to your debut!
Thanks!
Hi Jane this is a few days later but I did this! We’re on PocketCasts here:

Congratulations!! I will be listening because I have been coming to this website for years and love it. I have sent a few people here also! I don’t tell anyone my commenting name tho! Ha! If they can figure it out based on random clues I have given, fine.
I am so excited y’all are going to be podcasting now! I will definitely be listening. I hope you can make it available on The Podcast App as well, but I’ll be listening on stitcher for now!
Oh this podcast was so much fun!!!! There are some things that are my guilty pleasures on a weekly basis (thank goodness for RuPaul Drag) and this is going to the top of the list!
Hmmmm can you ladies add a feature about a tv show? Some type of “oh my gosh, did you see that?!” I think that would be really fun too!!!
Ahhhh! So happy to hear your voices. Your tag line perfectly defines this site, and I am excited for a new layer of the depth added to your thoughtful insights into pop culture and politics.
I am so excited to finally hear your voice! Congratulations!!
Yay for the podcast!! So great to hear your voices – I’ve been reading this site since 2010, very rarely comment but I read it every single day! I have also been mis-prounouncing Celebitchy, ha! Thank you for keeping me sane and entertained all these years! x
Will the podcast be available on Podcast Republic? I checked but it’s not on there yet. I use Spotify too so will listen there if PR is not an option!
It’s avail on Overcast now, but I’m still patiently waiting for it to pop into Castro (my preferred app). Can’t wait to give a listen!
Yay, it just popped into Castro!! 🙂
