MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

On the show today…

It’s the movie news musical theatre nerds have been waiting for. Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey has officially been cast opposite Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the upcoming Wicked movies. Here’s everything you need to know about his coveted new role.

And musician Greyson Chance rose to fame thanks to an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show when he was 12 years old. Ellen DeGeneres signed him to her music label and promised to make him a star but in a newly released interview with Rolling Stone, Greyson has accused the talk show host of being “manipulative and self-centered”. So how much of this story do we need to believe?

Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! On today’s show, we have an addictive new sitcom and a gripping new drama based on real events to recommend to you.
