This week we sit down with Jess Rothschild, host of "Hot Takes & Deep Dives," a podcast dedicated to quick hits & deep cuts on Real Housewives, Bravolebrities & other pop culture icons. We talk about Jess' Madonna journey, about life as a podcaster and hear the story of that time she offered Madonna a breath mint.

Jess was on the founding team of the internet's most popular lesbian web site, where she interviewed Sandra Bernhard, Margaret Cho, Linda Perry and a plethora of other legends. She now interviews Housewives and Housewives-adjacent talent, yet always circles the conversation back to Madonna in each episode of her podcast.
