EP 204 - Job Interviews Are Humiliation Rituals

This week on Words With Wista, I’m talking about why job interviews in 2026 feel like public humiliation rituals, the chaos happening across the U.S. and around the world, and Trump pulling up to Rockland County like we don’t already have enough traffic. We also get into Jeff Bezos talking taxes, Spirit Airlines shutting down and leaving people stranded emotionally and financially, James Charles getting called out for being wildly out of touch, and these nonstop company layoffs that have everybody stressed. Plus, the internet is shocked that John Boyega and Tae Heckard are married and honestly... I’m not surprised at all. I’m also talking about why having a side hustle is basically survival at this point and how the World Cup is sneaking up on us real fast. IG: itswista SubStack/ YouTube/ IG: wordwithwista

EP 203 - Nothing About This Week is Normal

This week is giving chaos, capitalism, and controversy all in one. We get into the unexpected tension between the Pope and Trump and Congress being a mess as resignations and removal calls pile up. We also talk about Erica Schwartz stepping in as CDC director, the FAA recruiting gamers for air traffic control jobs, and Ticketmaster and Live Nation being exposed in a major monopoly ruling. Then it’s business drama with QVC heading toward bankruptcy, PepsiCo cutting prices, and Spirit Airlines possibly crashing out. On the darker side, we cover multiple tragic and disturbing cases making headlines. And because balance, we end on culture with Cardi B shutting it down on tour and selling out her hair line, plus Coachella turning into Poorchella vs Richchella and the real tea behind brands quietly revoking invites.

EP 202 - From Capitol Hill to Coachella

This week is a full-on chaos report as politics and pop culture collide and honestly nobody is acting normal. We get into Pam Bondi losing her job, rising war tensions, and Democrats floating 25th Amendment talk, plus the internet being fully entertained unpacking Kristi Noem’s husband’s situation and the wild takes on rolling back women’s voting rights. On the culture side, we break down Druski backlash, Latto’s baby shower, Megan Thee Stallion’s Broadway takeover, Chloe Bailey vs the Beyhive, Kanye causing international issues again, Coachella rental scams leaving people stranded, Keke Palmer’s eyebrow-raising story, Jenna Ortega controversy, Tiger Woods’ latest headlines, Pooh Shiesty’s legal mess, and Jaden Ivey losing his job after controversy. Yeah… It’s one of those episodes. IG/YouTube: itswista SubStack/Youtube: wordswithwista

EP 201 - The World Is Glitching

The world is really glitching right now, so let’s get into it. We’re talking Cuba protests over blackouts and Haiti preparing for its first election in a decade, plus Trump making decisions while tensions with Iran continue despite claims the situation is under control, alongside reports that an additional $200 billion may be needed, and what that could mean for gas prices, travel costs, and everyday life. Then we get into media and entertainment chaos with major cancellations, platform shakeups, and industry drama, along with messy lawsuits and a quick Oscars recap. And of course, we wrap it up with a listener voicemail that sparks a real conversation about modern dating, expensive matchmaking services, and why being desperate for love is never the move, because in this economy we need to have some self-respect.

EP 200 - 10 Years Later, Voicemail Activated, State of the Union Slump and Industry Shakeups

EP 200. Ten years, 200 episodes, and a whole lot of growth in between. This one is about staying the course, finding your voice, and building something that lasts. We reflect on the journey, launch the voicemail line so you can call in and spill your tea for advice, and share a message from a special guest. Then we get into the week’s chaos including slipping TV ratings, NYC political shakeups, AI surveillance testing, billion dollar business plays, media controversies, and rap beef that nobody asked for. A decade later and the conversations are still bold, honest, and very much on my terms. IG: itswista Substack: wordswithwista
