Eating For Free


Feb 1, 2024

Raise your glasses high for Vanderpump Fools!🍸💃🏼

For the next 10 weeks, we're tearing into the phenomenon that changed Bravo forever. It's a tale of failed acting careers, tabloid affairs, criminal investigations, burned down gay bars, and so much more.

About:

Hosted by journalists Joan Summers and Matthew Lawson, Eating For Free is a weekly podcast that explores gossip and power in the pop culture landscape: Where it comes from, who wields it, and who suffers at the hands of it. Find out the stories behind the stories, as together they look beyond the headlines of troublesome YouTubers or scandal-ridden A-Listers, and delve deep into the inner workings of Hollywood's favorite pastime. The truth, they've found, is definitely stranger than any gossip.

You can also find us on our website, Twitter, and Instagram. Or buy our merch! Any personal, business, or general inquires can be sent to eatingforfreepodcast@gmail.com
