Welcome to The Gaggle, a brand-new weekly dive into pop culture, society, and everything in between.


Every week, we’re plucking a story from the chaos of public discourse to unpack what it actually says about the world we’re living in. To help us make sense of it all, we’ll be inviting actual experts into the gaggle whenever we need to go a little deeper.


For the time being, the first 20 minutes of every episode will be available for free right here. But if you want the full story, you can find the complete episodes over on Patreon.com/TheGaggle.


So, join the flock! Find us on Patreon and Instagram for the deep dives, and look for our sneak peeks everywhere you get your podcasts.

  • Reality Check: Unpacking the ANTM Legacy

    Reality Check: Unpacking the ANTM Legacy
    Feb 25 2026
    ANTM shaped a generation’s understanding of beauty, ambition, and self-worth. For many viewers, it was aspirational television. But for the contestants, it was deeply destabilising.
