Ep. 381: Gwen Stefani Exclusive Podcast Interview

Gwen Stefani reveals that having her family “torn apart” seven years ago led her on a new path and inspired her to create the makeup line, GXVE, which launches March 3. She tells us that her naivety in the ’90s helped her develop her music, and explains how her youth in Anaheim, California, inspired her style (and some of the looks she’s been criticized for); why she thinks there are a lot of women her age who feel ignored by the beauty industry; and why she still believes the magic’s in the makeup.

Ep. 375: Boy Smells' Matthew Herman is Breaking the Fragrance Binary

Matthew Herman talks with Jess about what inspired him and co-founder David Kien to create Boy Smells, a buzzy brand that makes "genderful" candles, perfumes, and underwear. Matthew, a former fashion designer for brands like Proenza Schouler and Nasty Gal, shares the story of his fragrance company’s mega-rise during the pandemic, tells us about the time collaborator Kacey Musgraves popped up in his DMs, and explains why beauty is embracing gender inclusivity better than the fashion industry.
