About this episode

Hootie-hoo to all our beloved investors! As we all enjoy the last few weeks of the state-mandated global StraightioLab summer hiatus, we thought we would offer a little treat to our hungry little listener pigs: an episode of one of our favorite podcasts, Celebrity Book Club, hosted by past Straightio guests Steven Phillips Horst and Lily Marotta! Read more from Steven and Lily below—if you dare.  

  Celebrity memoirs aren’t like normal books—they’re fun! Join comedians Steven Phillips-Horst (@gossipbabies) & Lily Marotta (@lilyblueyez) as they rifle through the diaries of drug-addled starlets, oddly obsessive restaurateurs, brass-knuckled female realtors, and boring gay politicians’ even more boring gay husbands, finding fertile ground for searing cultural insights and juicy gossip. Martinis not included.
