Leslie Jones was incredibly alluring and transcendent on the latest episode of the mAd sAD & BAD podcast.
Paloma Faith said it best: “I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that much!!”
Neither can we. What an extraordinary episode to close out what appears to be the final installment of the season series. From raw truths to riotous laughter, Leslie brought her signature brilliance—unfiltered, magnetic, and deeply human.
For those new to our corner of the internet: we’ve featured both Leslie and Paloma for years, and for good reason.
Leslie Jones is a powerhouse of comedy and candor. A former Saturday Night Live cast member and Emmy nominee, she’s known for her roles in Ghostbusters, Coming 2 America, and as host of Supermarket Sweep. But it was during the early days of the COVID lockdown that Leslie truly became a lifeline for many—hosting spontaneous, hilarious, and deeply relatable Instagram Live sessions that kept us laughing when the world felt upside down. Whether she was reacting to news, dancing in her kitchen, or just riffing off the cuff, she reminded us that joy could still be loud, messy, and shared.
Paloma Faith, meanwhile, is a genre-defying British singer, songwriter, and actress whose retro flair and emotional depth have made her a mainstay in our music and fashion coverage. With multiple platinum albums—including Fall to Grace and The Architect—and acting credits from St Trinian’s to Pennyworth, she’s as theatrical as she is sincere.
Press play now for all the hilarity, silliness, and soul-stirring honesty that made this episode unforgettable.
If you laughed, gasped, or rewound a moment just to hear it again—tell us. Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know: was this the most transcendent podcast moment of the season?
