Best Of2024

Last year CityBeat’s Madeline Fening put us all onto health and wellness starlet, Kristel Rubio, with her pullulating podcast and platform What the F*t! which focuses on discussions centered around holistic and progressive wellness with features on today’s news contributed by our own Fening. This year, Rubio is back sharing something sensational and packed with the perfect balance of seriousness and silliness. Recently propagated and re-potted on Patreon, Rubio explores a more adventurous side of entertainment and engagement with her radiant romantic recounts and more intimate life experiences. Needless to say, you don’t want to miss the hot goss our media queen has to share on any front. instagram.com/whatthefitpodcast.
