Celebrate Brat Summer by kicking off a Gossip Girl rewatch! We're re-releasing our first foray into the GG universe as a companion. You know you love us! XOXO, Girls Room. We'll be back with a brand new episode Friday! Any audio from old episodes that needed to be fixed should be fixed.

Hi all, Some listeners brought to our attention that there are six or seven episodes since January that have persistent audio issues on certain platforms that we were unaware of. These are fixable issues, and we'll be working on them this weekend. All audio files will be replaced by Sunday night. Apologies if this has hindered your listening experience! We're a two person operation here at Girls Room, and sometimes we miss things. Thanks for bearing with us! -Julia & Drew
