Season 2 Trailer - Smooch Fest

Here’s the thing about me... I have a sickness, an affliction, where I need two people to kiss in every movie, TV show, or book that I consume. 

And when they don’t kiss? I feel cheated. I feel betrayed. I lose the will to live. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and turn this condition into cultural commentary.

I'm Lena Olson, your host and smooch connoisseur. Every episode, a guest joins me to discuss the most iconic kissing scenes in pop culture history. 

This season, we’re talking about the smooches in Titanic, Heated Rivalry, Love Island, Gilmore Girls, the three-way kiss between Madonna, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV VMA awards, and MORE.

But it wouldn’t be a kissing podcast if we just kept it to pop culture. We delve into personal stories about our first, best, and worst kisses. We learn about the science and history behind smooching. Why did people start kissing in the first place? When was the first gay kiss on screen? How much bacteria gets transferred when people kiss? Any question you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask!

So get ready for Season 2, dropping July 9th later this week. Available on all podcast platforms, as well as Youtube, Instagram and Tiktok @smoochfestpod
