When I Missed You In July

As we cross the halfway point for 2025, Em, Lindsay, Laz, and Don tap into their inner clairvoyants to make a series of predictions as to what the state of women's wrestling could look like over the next six months.

Time And Time Again

On the 300th episode of Grit & Glitter, it's Glitterati origin stories.
Harley, Em, Mayydayy, Val Pancakes, Don, Lindsay, Meg, and Laz share how they became wrestling fans, how they got into making podcasts and zines and art and wrestling championships, early favorites, current faves, and what being a part of this team has meant to them.
Plus: the premiere of the top secret new Grit & Glitter theme song!!

The Newly-Tagged Game IV

After three long years, it's the return of The Newly-Tagged Game, our game show where tag teams compete to see which duo knows each other the best!
Harley & Em host as Rosie Fingers & Jess Reina Casablanca take on the Stoner Brothers.  They're quizzed on food gimmicks, entrance music, road trips, cartoons, and more.  Rosie & Jess think they'll get 7.  Twins Rick Scott & Scott Rick think they're going to get every single question correct.  But that can't possibly happen.  Can it...?

G&G presents: The Gayest Show On Earth

Em, Val Pancakes, and Mayydayy are joined by special guest Toddy Tondera to book the BIGGEST GAYEST WRESTLING SHOW EVER!
They each take turns booking a dream match, a "wildcard" segment, and three wrestlers for the Big Gay Rumble (or "Grumble").  With money no object and time and space no concern, find out which LGBTQIA+ icons were enlisted.
