Today, Wondery announces a new weekly pop culture podcast, Lemme Say This, hosted by pop culture authorities, writers and real-life best friends, Peyton Dix and Hunter Harris. Lemme Say This debuts on Wondery+, YouTube, and everywhere you get your podcasts on May 22.
Lemme Say This is a weekly conversation with two chronically online best friends about the pop culture news you didn’t realize you cared so much about. The show answers all your burning questions on culture and entertainment, from who wrote the best notes app apology, to who takes the crown of Hollywood’s most divorced man, and much more. This is a show for Eras Tour scholars and Love Island obsessives; and for those who want the gossip, Hunter and Peyton have already got the 10-page powerpoint handy.
Hunter Harris is a writer and cultural critic living in Brooklyn. Her work has appeared in New York Magazine, the New York Times, and GQ, among other places. She’s reported on the set of Succession’s season three finale in Italy, profiled Zendaya, and crashed a party with Usher. Previously, she was a writer on HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot, and before that, Vulture. She writes “Hung Up,” a newsletter about pop culture and entertainment.
Peyton Dix is a Brooklyn-based, Los Angeles-raised consultant and writer. She's served as MAC Cosmetics's global social director, InStyle’s special projects editor, and PAPER’s head of social. She’s written for publications like ELLE, Bustle, W, and Teen Vogue.
Friends for a decade, the shared trauma of a crappy Boston dorm room and the pitiful Brooklyn dating scene bonded the pair for life. Now, they’re certified haters and internet carnivores — and they’re ready to cut your faves straight to the white meat.
Lemme Say This joins Wondery’s growing lineup of pop culture and comedy podcasts featuring sought-after voices and perspectives, including Scamfluencers with Scaachi Koul and Sarah Hagi, Diss and Tell with Matt Bellassai and Sydney Battle, Baby, this is Keke Palmer with Keke Palmer, The Big Flop with Misha Brown, Even the Rich and Even the Royals with Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williamsand, and more.
