Hey there! Today's episode of Talk Wordy was full of laughs, going down memory land, and chatting all things therapy and romance with bestselling author Vanessa Zian!

Podcast all the time, Pop Culture Catch-up occasionally!

Welcome back to Talk Wordy, my hub for all the words I read, write, or otherwise want to yap about!

This episode kicks off a new, recurring series that all be doing monthly called POP CULTURE CATCH-UP! At the end of each month, I'll share everything I've gleaned from the bookish, movie, tv, and music world so that if you missed anything (or didn't care to stay in the know), all you have to do is stream the episode and you'll be caught up!

PSA: Two pieces of news that I did NOT cover due to memory lapse and the fact that I recorded on 1/29 as opposed to the very last day of the month are Harry's new single Apeture, his album release date, and the passing of movie and tv icon Catherine O'Hara. Please do not go nuts if you finish the episode and realize I left them out haha.

Thanks for tuning in! (Recorded January 2026)
