  • Writer, comedian, podcaster Tess Barker (Lady to Lady) stops by to talk about her new podcast Pop Mystery Pod where she takes the same curiosity and investigative journalism skills she used on Toxic—the podcast which was instrumental in helping free Britney Spears from her conservatorship—and applies them to other pop culture mysteries that have always fascinated her. We also talk about being deaf in one ear, child acting aspirations, Camarillo, mayonnaise and other phobias, writing for MTV News and Vice and so much more. Plus we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and Podcast Pals Product Picks.
