If we've learned anything in the past year, it's to expect the unexpected. I mean, this time last year I would never have expected to be this excited about a reboot of a teen show, or the cast of this season's Big Brother, or a statue honoring Princess Diana. Yep, you read that correctly. I just managed to casually name drop all of the topics discussed in today's new episode of Pop Chaser, the daily pop culture podcast hosted by me (hey, I'm Allison!) and Kate Ward.

In today's episode, Kate and I break down the news that the Gossip Girl reboot will reveal the mysterious blogger's identity within the first episode. What does that mean for the progression of the story if we're not wondering who GG really is? TBD until it premieres next week (July 8), but I don't hate it.

We also discuss the new Big Brother houseguests and while there should absolutely not be a showmance this season. Plus, we unveil (via podcast) Princess Diana's new statue and inquire about a mysterious child. Listen to the new episode of Pop Chaser below, or on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts! And don't forget to take a look at The Dipp's other weekly podcast, TV. Watch. Repeat., in which Kate and I delve into the histories of some of your favorite TV shows.
