The Great Obsession
RiLee and Sam
0
The Great Obsession is a weekly chat show hosted by best friends RiLee and Sam, who get together with drinks in hand to talk about whatever they are currently fixated on. Each Tuesday they dig into pop culture, music (with a heavy dose of Taylor Swift), and a new book they read together every month. The tone is casual and friendly, like eavesdropping on two friends catching up. Listeners are invited to follow the show's Instagram and suggest what the pair should read next.
