Gossip might make you smarter | Rob Shuter's juicy new book

Natasha sits down with Rob Shuter to talk about his buzzworthy new novel It Started with a Whisper — a fast-paced, insider look at the world of celebrity gossip, ambition, and betrayal. Inspired by his real-life experience in Hollywood, the book follows four media insiders chasing fame, power, and the next big scoop — where “secrets are currency” and one whisper can make or break a career. But here’s the twist: what if gossip isn’t shallow at all? We dive into the psychology behind it — and why research suggests it may actually be a sign of social intelligence: the ability to read people, understand power, and navigate complex relationships.
