Welcome Jessica Diehl!

Meghan sits down with brand consultant and creative director Jessica Diehl for a long-overdue catch-up — the two haven't seen each other since a chaotic trip to Puebla right before the world shut down in 2020. What follows is one of those conversations that goes everywhere and stays interesting the whole time.

Jessica's career is the stuff of fashion folklore: she bartended her way into a Marie Claire internship, worked her way up to become Grace Coddington's assistant at Vogue, spent 13+ years at Vanity Fair, and has since collaborated with nearly everyone on the A-List. She's lived through the full arc of magazine culture — and she has thoughts.

They get into what real mentorship actually looks like, why any hospitality job is the most underrated training ground in any industry, and what it felt like to leave Vogue just as Vanity Fair came calling. Jessica is refreshingly self-aware about the person she used to be and equally candid about what she'd do differently now.

With Devil Wears Prada 2 in theaters and the press tour breaking the internet, the timing couldn't be better for a conversation with someone who actually lived that world. This one's for anyone who's ever been an assistant, wanted to be one, or wondered what it was really like behind those doors.

Welcome Dr. Ghadir!

This week, Meghan sits down with her own fertility doctor, Dr. Shahin Ghadir — a 20-year veteran and partner at HRC Fertility in Beverly Hills — for a refreshingly open conversation about egg freezing. Fresh off completing the process herself at 33, Meghan walks through her personal experience from first consultation to retrieval, breaking down everything she wishes she'd known going in: the hormone shots, the blood tests, the unexpected waddling, and the one needle mix-up that had her facetiming her nurse.

Dr. Ghadir covers the science in a totally digestible way — what AMH levels actually mean, why younger is better (but later is still worth it), and HRC's brand new needle-free injection device that Meghan is already signing up for in round two. Whether you've been thinking about it for years or this is the first time the topic has crossed your mind, this episode is the no-filter guide you didn't know you needed.

Welcome Connor!

Connor Hines — actor, writer, producer, and creator of Love Story — stops by Clyde Confidential with his assistant Sam for one of the most candid, behind-the-scenes conversations yet. From how Sam went from saying "good morning" as a Ryan Murphy receptionist to packing up his life in five days and moving to New York, to Connor pitching his way into the "Show Creator" title against all odds, this episode is a masterclass in saying yes before you're ready.

Connor opens up about what it was really like to create and showrun for the first time — the imposter syndrome, the 18-hour shoot days, the loneliness of the job, and the moment he watched the pilot in the back of an Uber and finally knew they had something. Sam gets his flowers too, because this is just as much his story: navigating eight Brooklyn roommates, a flooded apartment, and learning on the fly what it means to be a creator's right hand — not just logistics, but creative sounding board, confidant, and therapist.

Whether you're chasing your own big break or just need a reminder that momentum beats standing still, this one's going to hit.

Welcome Madelaine!

Madelaine Petsch has been one of Hollywood's most recognizable faces for nearly a decade — but behind every chaotic on-set day and every impulsive "let's just drive to San Francisco" decision, there's been one person keeping it all together: her assistant, Amelia Parker. This week, Meghan sits down with both of them to celebrate two years of one of the best assistant-boss relationships in the business — and to say a bittersweet goodbye as Amelia heads off to conquer law school.

They get into all of it: how Amelia came in on day one with a firm "I am not going to be your friend" speech (spoiler: did not hold), what it takes to survive 20-hour days in a foreign country with someone who will absolutely make you pack a Chi Swing in your suitcase, and the moment Amelia laughed so hard she peed her pants in front of an entire film crew while Madelaine was mid-panic-attack covered in fake blood. Plus a prank call that goes instantly, gloriously wrong.

If you've ever wondered what it really looks like when the right two people find each other in this industry — this one's for you.

Welcome Lily Rabe!

Meghan sits down with her dear friend and one of the most accomplished actresses working today — Lily Rabe. Fresh off a move back to New York City, Lily opens up about what it feels like to come home, raising kids in a city that puts them ahead of you instead of in the backseat, and why Lincoln Center two nights in a row is basically a reset button. The two dig into the realities of building a career and a family at the same time — from breastfeeding on set to filming through a pandemic to grieving the support system you wish you had. Lily talks candidly about her production company with partner Hamish Linklater, why she wants her team to disagree with her, and what she's learned from doing some of the greatest roles ever written for the stage. Plus: the best career advice she's ever given — which is really just advice about not taking advice.

Welcome Tinx!

Tinx — internet big sister, TikTok OG, radio host, and author — sits down with Meghan alongside her right-hand woman Lauren for a candid, hilarious look at one of the most talked-about duos in the influencer space. What started as a "we'll open packages and keep it casual" job listing has turned into a five-year blur of canceled flights, Gothic Louisiana Airbnbs, couture corset emergencies, and building an actual empire together. They get what makes an assistant truly irreplaceable, why how someone treats the people around you says everything, and why storytelling is the only thing that will cut through in today's oversaturated internet landscape. Trust us — this is one you don't want to skip.

Welcome Justin Jesso!

This week, Meghan's couch is at full capacity — she's joined by her friend and talented singer-songwriter Justin Jesso, plus his two right-hand people: Julie Dawson, his head of social, and Dylan Owen, his chief of staff. Justin is best known for co-writing and singing "Stargazing" with Kygo, a gig that's taken him from a Monday writing session to Madison Square Garden and Coachella in the span of eight years. But now he's doing something bold: going fully independent and betting on himself. In this one, they get into what it actually looks like to leave a major label behind, build your own team from scratch, and take the reins on your own career. Plus, Justin shares the fan stories that make it all worth it. Julie and Dylan also pull back the curtain on what it's really like to work for an independent artist who will absolutely slide across a bathroom floor in his underwear if you ask him to. You won't want to miss it.

Welcome Ty Stiklorius!

This week, Meghan sits down with her mentor and one of the most powerful women in the music industry — Ty Stiklorius. As a producer, activist, mom, and longtime manager, Ty has spent 20+ years navigating the music business on her own terms. In this one, they get into all of it: the dinner party that changed both their lives, why success can be the best hiding place for unprocessed trauma, the AI revolution shaking up the music world, and the criminal justice reform work that led Ty to help free a man sentenced to life without parole at 16. Plus, Ty opens up about finally — finally — unplugging for a week. Don't miss this one.
