Zosia Mamet is an obsessive person. So, naturally, she made a podcast about it.

On her brand new podcast from Lemonada Media, OMG Obsessed, Zosia sits down with some of her favorite people to get to the bottom of the things they simply cannot shut up about. The comfort show they’ve watched 43 times. The skincare routine with approximately 11,000 steps. The niche internet rabbit hole they entered at 2 a.m. and never truly escaped.

And Zosia brings plenty of obsessions of her own including a horse named Steven, interspecies friendship, her Peloton instructor’s divorce arc, tiny tomatoes that pop in your mouth, and the deeply compelling theory that geese are drones. She contains multitudes. And tabs.

Every episode comes loaded with recommendations for what to watch, read, buy, try, and immediately become weirdly passionate about.

Because no obsession is dumb. Concerning? Sure. Weird? Obviously. But dumb? Never.

New episodes every Wednesday from Lemonada Media. Listen to and follow OMG Obsessed with Zosia Mamet wherever you get your podcasts.

Charlie Sheen is an actor perhaps known just as well for his off-screen antics as his on-screen performances. In his new memoir, The Book of Sheen, Charlie is finally coming clean on what was going on during his years of hard drugs, public divorces, and on-set disputes that came to define his later career and reputation. These days, humility, gratitude, and sobriety have come to replace his meme-able bravado. Sitting on stage with him at the 92nd Street Y in NYC, he and David Duchovny shared jokes and jabs as David sought to discover why he chose to tell his story now — and why he took such a unique literary approach. Plus, they discuss the turning point that sent him on the road to recovery, and Charlie tells us what his one “do-over” in life would be — the answer might surprise you.

Recently, the Podcrushed crew was joined by author and actor Tembi Locke. She takes them from her whirlwind childhood to her life today as a bestselling writer and performer. They talk about the heart behind her memoir From Scratch and her new audiobook Someday, Now, the rituals and traditions that keep us grounded, and why midlife can feel a lot like adolescence (in the best way). It’s a rich conversation on grief, creativity, and finding light through it all.

“Sometimes I feel that I’m not going to write again,” says Arundhati Roy, “but then it becomes harder to keep quiet than to write it.” Few writers have bridged the personal and political as powerfully as Arundhati Roy. With her first memoir, fittingly titled Mother Mary Comes to Me, she turns to her turbulent relationship with her late mother, Mary Roy, a pioneering feminist who reshaped Indian law. This incredible conversation with Sam Fragoso on Talk Easy covers the book, and so much more.
