Other new franchises this season include Ask an Expert, which crowd-sources listeners’ questions answered by top doctors and beauty authorities, Beauty Bonds, pairing top beauty talent with a celebrity client for candid conversations, Newsroom, a fast-moving discussion of trending stories with insider perspective, and a revamped Business Desk, spotlighting interviews with beauty executives, trend forecasters and other industry leaders.

“Fat Mascara has been such a deeply personal part of my life for the past decade and I’m so excited to back in conversation with the beauty community. Kicking off with Daniel Martin and Bobbi Brown, two true pioneers and longtime members of the Fat Mascara family, felt like the perfect way to start. These are the kinds of conversations I love, talking about what’s shaping the industry right now and where beauty is headed next. There’s so much more to come this season, I'll see you every Wednesday," Matlin tells PEOPLE.

Matlin announced the news on March 12.

"BIG BIG BIG! @fatmascara heads into its 10th year with an epic new partnership with @peopleinc ✨✨✨ ," she wrote in an Instagram caption.

Matlin continued, "Expect to spend time with FM legends, discover new talent and talk about beauty, culture and everything in between. I’ve been cooking up some exciting new episodes and it’s honestly been hard not to talk about them. That ends soon. First ep drops March 25. Major thanks to the team at @peopleinc especially @leahwyar who believed in my vision from the jump! 📸 "

The host announced the podcast was coming to an end in May 2025 after 10 years and 580 episodes.

“I put a pin in it, and I just needed to think,” Matlin told Glossy of reevaluating the podcast's future. Her founding co-host, Jennifer G. Sullivan, had taken a full-time role as the senior editor of beauty and personal care at The New York Times' Wirecutter. Matlin herself is also the director of beauty and home at Moda Operandi.

“People can expect more of what Fat Mascara listeners love, which is access to established beauty experts and insiders,” Matlin told the outlet. “But also, they’ll get to meet beauty experts and creators that they might not know so well, and that sense of discovery that I think Fat Mascara has always been known for.”

Fat Mascara premieres on Wednesday, March 25, on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
