No one can argue that Charli XCX’s brat took over the world last year, but I would argue that the “Apple” dance played a major role in the album’s fan engagement. And while creating the dance has many dubbing her “the Apple girl,” Kelley Heyer is so much more than that.

I got to chat with Kelley about navigating online stardom, her rising acting career, working with New York Outrigger, and more. They are so charming and I really loved this conversation.

For the past few years, Ashley Hufford has been encouraging TikTok viewers to join her at the theater as she documented her love for seeing shows. Ashley is a part of a niche group of content creators dedicated to New York City theatre who have changed the game for Broadway marketing.

On this episode, Ashley and I yapped about the recent Broadway season, creating community online, why this will never be our full-time job, and so much more.

As we defrost from a particularly chilly winter, I dream of summer and seeing a show at Forest Hills Stadium.

More than a decade ago, Mike Luba had a vision to bring the historic tennis stadium in Queens back to life as a concert venue. It has since become a favorite venue for fans and artists alike.

I’m thrilled to share this conversation with Luba about making it in the music business, reviving the stadium, and how to balance it all.

Forest Hills Stadium’s 2025 season kicks off on May 31 with Bloc Party. You can find tickets at foresthillstadium.com and follow the stadium on Instagram
