Podcast Summary: My Therapist Ghosted Me
Episode: Captain Joanne, Jordyn Woods & Squirrels
Hosts: Vogue Williams & Joanne McNally
Date: April 3, 2026
Episode Overview
In this honest and tangentially rambunctious episode, Vogue and Joanne embrace their trademark chaotic energy as they attempt (and sometimes fail) to stay on topic. The duo addresses their recent "whirlwind of misinformation," discusses conspiracy theories (from Marilyn Manson's rib to Disney's Frozen), shares showbiz anecdotes about Joanne's new role as a panel show captain, recounts luxury villa encounters with Jordyn Woods, delivers bizarre Florida news stories, and explores everything from male loneliness to wild squirrel attacks. With Joe occasionally chiming in and plenty of self-deprecating humor, it’s a classic installment of relatable oversharing, hilarious diversions, and just enough questionable advice.
