    Introducing: Diss and Tell

    Introducing: Diss and Tell

    Sibling fights are unavoidable, but what if every moment of tension – real or imagined – was under a microscope on a global scale? That’s the reality for the brothers from the House of Windsor: Prince William and Prince Harry. They were others’ closest friends and allies since the death of their mother. But, that all began to crack as they each married and took wildly different approaches to their royal duties. 

    Wondery’s podcast DISS AND TELL is hosted by comedians Sydney Battle and Matt Bellassai. Each episode unpacks one of pop culture’s most iconic celebrity feuds, and they recently took a deeper look into the real reason William vs Harry started.

    This is just a preview of Diss and Tell. Listen to The Diss and Tell wherever you get your podcasts, or at Wondery.fm/dissandtell_velvetrope

You guys should stop shading other podcasts! It’s not cool. Do you look up the TOP podcasts?? The Two T’s is one of the best podcasts, probably close to number one on the charts! Love Sarah- she’s the voice of reason and David just shades everyone. So annoying. BUT I do listen to you guys and I like it just not all the shade. 💜

Aussie Love

I’m an Aussie & you are so right, I totally get your sense if humour, but most especially adore your honesty. David and Sarah are honest to the core. The only Bravo pod I can stomach. These two are rare and the real deal. Love, love, love you both. Love your work. I have been in the States for two years and you both help me get through missing my family. David and Sarah. Honorary Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
