  • "Are We Sluts?" ft. Becky Hermenze
    Jan 9 2025

    It may be 2025, but we’re still stuck in the nostalgia of July 16, 2000, the night "Sex and the City" dropped the iconic episode "Are We Sluts?" Welcome back to Season 3, Episode 6 of High Heels and Punchlines—your trusted Sex and the City Rewatch Edition!
    Today, we’re excited to have the amazing Becky Hermenze with us! Not only does she host a rewatch podcast for Veep (@madamvicepresidentpod) —because really, who doesn’t love the Washington DC edition of Julia Louis-Dreyfus?) — but she’s also our Video and Production Manager here at HHPL. On top of that, she’s a brilliant comedian!
    We’ll be diving into everything from those oddly intimate bath moments to the classic sleepover dramas that make dating seem like a full-time job. Becky brings the goods, and this episode is not to be missed! Enjoy! xx

  • New Year, Same Chirp!
    Jan 2 2025

    Ready or not, it's 2025!

    In today's episode Hanna and Nora do some regularly scheduled chirping ranging from Hanna's terrible 2024 to Nora's childhood as a basement kid. If you are looking to basically follow two best friends' train of thought then this is the episode for you. Nora and Hanna both seem to be having ~one of those days~, Nora woke up late to some awful messages on Tinder and Hanna is pretty pissed after reflecting on her year and on the fact that she doesn't have regular game nights anymore. This episode is a little bit of a mixed bag but more than anything, it's a classic BFF chirp session. So buckle up and enjoy! Happy 2025 XO!

  • "No Ifs, Ands or Butts" ft. McKenna Moore & Natalie Altoon Haytayan
    Dec 26 2024

    What better way to recap a Sex and the City episode than with the iconic hosts of Date A Comic? That’s right—joining us are comedians McKenna Moore and Natalie Altoon Haytayan!

    In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into SATC’s “No Ifs, Ands or Butts”—an installment that, much like Save the Last Dance, didn’t exactly stand the test of time (sorry, Julia Stiles).

    We’re covering it all with these hilarious ladies: from questionable kissing techniques to the surprisingly enduring powers of body odor—and the ultimate secret to getting a New York City woman to quit smoking (spoiler: it’s never about the man).

  • "Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl..." ft. Jessie Lee

    Should men in Brooklyn be worried when their bi girlfriend might be into other women? We think so—because, let’s face it, girls are better than boys!

    With that, welcome to a rewatch of one of the most chaotic episodes of Sex and the City ("Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl...")

    Spoiler alert: this one didn’t exactly age gracefully (lol). Thankfully though, we’re joined by the brilliantly hilarious Jessie Lee to break it all down!

  • Chirp: A Fireside Chat with Former Housewife, Kelly Bensimon
    Nov 21 2024

    There are two pillars of life: Real Housewives and New York City. If your memo doesn’t fit into either of those, well, you’re lucky we’re even reading it. But today? Today is a true meeting of the minds. Yes, you read that episode title correctly—KELLY BENSIMON FROM REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK CITY (aka RHONY) joins us for today's High Heels and Punchlines x CHIRP!


    In case, for some wild reason, you’re not familiar with this icon, Kelly graced The Real Housewives of New York City as a full-time cast member from Seasons 2 to 4. She’s an absolute legend in RHONY history, most notably for her unforgettable role in Season 3’s “Sun, Sand, and Psychosis,” better known as Scary Island.

    But Kelly’s influence doesn’t stop at Housewives herstory. She’s a powerhouse: luxury real estate agent, author, former Editor of Elle Accessories, former model, and, most importantly, a devoted mother.


    Join us as we sit down for a fireside chat with Kelly, diving into everything from NYC dating advice to life after RHONY. We’re truly humbled to have her on this episode of CHIRP and can’t wait for you to tune in!
