Bonjour. Today is Monday, June 15, 2026. I am at the beach and handed the reins over to Ivy, aka @watchandlisten.ivy on TikTok. On PRETEND, she told a story about how she went through hundreds of Reddit comments asking what the greatest podcast episode of all time is, actually listened to all of them, and then went viral on TikTok for making a series about it. Below, her story in her own words and her five favorite single podcast episodes from this series so far. Enjoy. I’ll be back next week.
