Welcome to Spilling & Spiraling (https://spillingandspiraling.com/); the podcast where pop culture chaos, internet drama, trending news, celebrity gossip, and millennial spiral sessions collide in the funniest way possible. Hosted by Tiffany and Alicia, this weekly comedy podcast serves up unfiltered conversations, hilarious hot takes, and “did they really just say that?” commentary on everything happening online and in the world right now.
Think: if late-night commentary shows had a chaotic girls’ group chat. It’s smart, sarcastic, slightly unhinged, and somehow still deeply relatable.
