You think you know Pocahontas, but trust us, this is not the story you in history class (or from a raccoon and a willow tree...we do love you though, Meeko). This week, we’re breaking down the real history of Pocahontas, the woman behind the myth. From her kidnapping and forced assimilation to how England turned her into a PR campaign for colonization. Which also brings us to the MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) crisis. Although we can never give a voice back to all of the MMIW, we can change how society values Native American women. That evolution can only begin with the telling of the real story of Pocahontas, the most famous missing Native American woman in history.

Victoria Beckham: Too Posh To Smile
This week we’re talking about the woman who went from a little Gucci dress to a global fashion empire: Victoria Beckham. Known to the world first as Posh Spice, Victoria perfected the art of the pout while quietly becoming one of the most fascinating figures in pop culture. From Spice Girls chaos and WAG tabloid drama to her reinvention as a serious designer, she’s mastered the long game of fame. Was she “too posh to smile”, or just too busy building an empire? We get into the gossip, the glamour, and the girl who turned “Posh” into a lifestyle.

Nicole's Heartache, Bad Bunny's Super Bowl & Taylor's "Life of A Show Girl"
This week on Right Answers Mostly, we’re serving up a full plate of pop culture chaos with Tess's HUSBAND as the guest. From Taylor’s Life of a Showgirl controversial thoughts, and Nicole Kidman’s headline about her divorce, to Bad Bunny’s polarizing Super Bowl performance, it’s "one battle after another" in the celebrity arena. And yes, spoiler alert, we do talk a lot about the film and our thoughts if it is indeed the movie of our generation. But that’s not all, because we couldn’t resist stopping by the Dawson’s Creek reunion and CW nostalgia from our childhood.

Bumble vs. the Boys Club: Whitney Wolfe Herd’s Story
Before dating apps became the default way to meet your next fling, or your forever, Whitney Wolfe Herd was rewriting the rules of love and tech. From her early days helping launch Tinder, to the explosive fallout that led her to create Bumble, Whitney’s story is one of ambition, lawsuits, billion-dollar valuations, and the rise (and fall?) of the “girlboss” era. In this episode, we unpack how she built a dating empire by asking women to make the first move, how she navigated Silicon Valley’s boys’ club, and what her journey says about feminism, business, and the culture of swiping right.
