| 4/23/26 | The Ozempic Episode (And Everything We're Shedding) | West Wilson got on his podcast and said absolutely nothing. Ciara got a Glamour cover and said everything. And somewhere in between all of that, I read a Substack article about Ozempic that made me want to talk about weight, morality, and why we feel so comfortable judging people's bodies.

| 2/5/26 | Is Olivia Dean ACTUALLY The Best New Artist? | Olivia Dean is our Best New Artist, and I can scarcely believe how right the Grammys got it.In this episode of Queen Things, I’m still sitting with the joy of watching Olivia Dean win—her voice, her ease, her stage presence, and that unmistakable feeling that we’re witnessing the start of something truly special. From there, we’ve got a full pop-culture rundown. I’m talking Grammys performances that delighted me, confused me, and confirmed some long-held suspicions about who gets praised for doing the least.I also reflect on influencer burnout, the identity wobble that comes with your twenties, when cultural commentary starts to feel less funny and more mean-spirited, and why I’m increasingly intentional about where I draw that line. And because things feel heavy right now, I share a few small but meaningful moments that have given me hope lately.Subscribe for monthly bonus episodes:https://www.patreon.com/c/queenthingspodhttps://queenthings.substack.com/Join the conversation:TikTok -@queenthingspod, @iam_kjmillerYouTube - www.youtube.com/@iamkjmillerIG:@kjmillerReferences:Olivia Dean Performing in 2020:https://www.tiktok.com/@barney3000/video/7602310010172984598?_r=1&_t=ZT-93cXKDAsPr3Mikayla’s Post:https://www.tiktok.com/@mikaylanogueira/video/7600829055474142477?_r=1&_t=ZT-93cXK3wbe7aReal Housewives of Potomac:https://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-potomacAubrielle Smith’s TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@aubriellesmithh/video/7602106196337626382?_r=1&_t=ZT-93cXI4s4plWProtest at Ohio State:https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/22/three-people-arrested-while-protesting-customs-and-border-patrol-recruiters-at-ohio-state-university/The Kelly Clarkson Show’s Final Season:https://people.com/the-kelly-clarkson-show-ending-after-seven-seasons-11898089KJ’s Top Three Kellyoke Performances:Happier Than Ever:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8b4cRb6Hl4All By Myself:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao5DdGmOfzk&list=RDAo5DdGmOfzk&start_radio=17 Rings:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptTiZpCnREY | — | ||||||

I don’t have clean answers, just honesty about where I am, what I’m wrestling with, and how I’m learning to exist in this new version of myself.It’s gonna be raw, reflective, (hopefully) a little funny, and very human.

| 1/8/26 | Why Is Beyoncé Told “that’s not possible” - When Taylor Swift Isn’t? | What began as an off-the-cuff observation turned into a full-blown conversation after listeners weighed in on the differences between Beyoncé’s Renaissance film and Taylor Swift’s End of an Era.In this episode, I unpack your comments and explore what might actually be driving the contrast — race, leadership style, perfectionism, collaboration, narrative choices, or something deeper.This isn’t about competition. It’s about power, perception, and how different women are allowed to move through the world — and be believed when they do.Let’s talk about it.Also!

| 12/10/25 | Is Relatability Ruining Pop? [BONUS TEASER] | In this December bonus teaser, I’m kicking things off with some housekeeping — including when Queen Things returns for Season 4. Then we dive straight into one of the most interesting conversations I’ve seen in pop culture lately: Charlie XCX’s Substack essay on the “realities” of being a pop star, and Swiftologist’s take on why pop doesn’t make icons anymore.From authenticity to escapism, parasocial closeness to moral responsibility, I’m breaking down what we actually expect from the artists we love, and what happens when relatability becomes the whole brand. It’s messy, it’s nuanced, and yes, I have thoughts.If you want the full episode — including my take on the Taylor/Trump discourse, Jaclyn Hill, DEI backlash, and this week’s Black News — become a Queen Things subscriber on Apple Podcasts, Patreon, or Substack.
