Welcome to Please Relate To This — the entertainment news platform and podcast where two of Canada’s top entertainment journalists test just how relatable their pop culture musings really are.
Each week, Julianna Garofalo and Owen Weir interview their favourite stars, unpack the biggest stories dominating headlines and the internet, and revisit the nostalgic moments that shaped them — always searching for someone, anyone, who relates... because nothing feels better than knowing somebody else gets it.
