Normal Gossip

Normal Gossip is a show with a lot of secrets. It's a look into the real-life scandals that get local communities talking. This isn't the place to look for celebrity news. This podcast is about the day-to-day gossip that touches everyone.

Reporter, writer, and host Kelsey McKinney reads and discusses real-life gossip listeners send in. Real-life local scandals are culled from the internet and listener submissions. The host and her guests explore scandalous and utterly hilarious stories. The result is a fun retelling of weird, often insane, silly tales. Guests include entertaining writers and comedians join the fun. Tracy Clayton (from BuzzFeed's Another Round podcast), Emma Eun-Joo Choi, Brian Park, and Julia Furlan all appear on the show.

The show offers a compelling premise. There's always a different set of stories to unravel. The level of gossip, ranging from high-stakes to ludicrously low-stakes, often proves absurd. But it offers plenty of comical material, too. It's a wild world out there, and there turns out to be more drama in real life than on any streaming service.

Listeners don't need celebrity pop-culture to explore gossip. All they need is real-life access to strangers' exchanges. And this podcast is sure to deliver just that. One episode may explore family wedding dramas. Another may divulge the villainous tactics of some preschool parents. The next will retell the tragic tale of a first date gone awry. No matter what it is, listeners can rely on real-life happenings to pepper the podcast.

This is one comedic show that's sure to not hide in any listener's secret diary. Listeners can hear everyone else's secrets now on Amazon Music.
