Our Editor's Take

FluentlyForward is not a typical celebrity news podcast. While much research goes into every episode, most discussions are not factual. The people that the host mentions are real, like Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Gigi Hadid. Yet, the gossip, theories, and rumors she brings have no proof. They are many random dots connected to create one outrageous story after another. Still, it's fun to speculate and make assumptions about famous people. Their lives almost always have something exciting and wild going on, far more than the average podcast listener.

The host of FluentlyForward refers to herself as shameless. Shannon McNamara wishes she was a better person. She cannot avoid celebrity gossip, no matter how controversial it might be. Reading out famous people's leaked messages and chats makes her day. This is especially true if they reveal awkward flirting with models like Adam Levine. She relishes exposing celebrities like R. Kelly and Colleen Ballinger. Shannon loves to discuss life-altering relationships and pontificate about what they were like. For example, how did John Mayer and Katy Perry plan their future? Why did Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes break up? All of this is her preferred pastime, and she feels no regret. She asks the listeners to join her in this guilty pleasure on a platform that doesn't judge.

Each episode of FluentlyForward is an hour-long exploration. While it might have some connection to Hollywood current events, it's usually about a topic from the depth of the internet. In one episode, Shannon discusses assumptions about Taylor Swift's sexuality. This is a long-running theory among fans that even gained the name "Gaylor." In another episode, the host examines the idea that the Kardashians are witches.

Most of the conversations on FluentlyForward are for entertainment purposes only. However, Shannon also attempts to explore the historical origins of each theory. She explains how some rumors express misogyny, racism, or homophobia. Even if they are fun to talk about, they can also be harmful. Listeners may appreciate all aspects of this entertaining program.
