Kristen has launched a new podcast called the Daily Fail, and we're giving you a taste of it today!  In each episode of the Daily Fail, Kristen and her friend Maura read the dumbest stories in the world’s worst daily tabloid so you don’t have to - from dangerously stupid weight loss stories - to misogynistic celebrity profiles - to flat out racist hot takes on Meghan Markle.   The Daily Fail is a comedy show. It's close reading. And to quote one Apple Podcast reviewer: "it's service journalism at its finest." If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe to the Daily Fail wherever you get your favorite shows.
