Off The Record with Whitney & Rachel
Two friends, two mics, and endless opinions. Whitney Thomas and Rachel Cook from River Radio take you off the record with concert reviews, new music breakdowns, pop culture chatter, and reality TV recaps — all with plenty of laughs along the way. Whether it’s Taylor Swift talk, concert merch confessions, or debating the latest CMA nominations, Whitney and Rachel keep it fun, casual, and totally unfiltered.

It’s full-on holiday chaos this week. Rachel and Whitney debate whether Christmas cards are still a thing, attempt (and completely butcher) a blind ranking of holiday movies, and admit which festive classics they still haven’t seen. They also tackle the hardest people to shop for, dream big with wildly unrealistic (and very bougie) Santa wish lists, and wrap it all up with Off The Record Confessions — including a passionate Rachel rant that goes slightly off the rails. Festive opinions, questionable rankings, and holiday delusion at its finest. 🎄✨

Rachel and Whitney are back from Thanksgiving break and fully in Christmas mode — well, mostly. This week, the girls dish on which Christmas jams are immediate hard skips, recap a few standout moments from CMA Country Christmas, and dive into their favorite holiday traditions.
Rachel proudly (and extensively) gushes about her new wet/dry vacuum, Whitney reveals who she finished Christmas shopping for first, and things take a turn when Whitney calls out Rachel’s janky toe.
Holiday chaos, questionable purchases, and toe-related betrayal — just another week on the pod. 🎄✨

This week, Rachel and Whitney go full CMA Awards mode — Lainey Wilson’s hosting glow-up, her eight (? we lost count) outfit changes and best moments of the night. They break down the biggest performances (Ella & Riley, Kelsea, Stapleton, Megan, Zach Top), the surprise moments (Steve Martin?! King George?! The Red Clay Strays?!), and all the major wins — from Cody Johnson’s emotional speech to Lainey sweeping the night.
Plus: who was suspiciously missing, a CMA-themed Sip or Skip, and Off The Record Confessions involving chaotic holiday décor and subtitles becoming a lifestyle.

This week on Off The Record with Whitney & Rachel — Whitney admits she’s just not into Christmas movies (and apparently doesn’t even own a single pair of festive leggings), while Rachel’s been busy binge-watching another new show. We’re talking Kelsea Ballerini’s new song, Megan Moroney’s pink era, CMA performance predictions, and the Thanksgiving favorites we’re just not fans of.

This week on Off The Record with Whitney & Rachel — Rachel causes Whitney to never look at a Bloody Mary the same way again, and we welcome our first special guest, K103 listener Holly Knudtson, who might just be Kenny Chesney’s biggest fan (you won’t believe how many times she’s seen him live!). We’re talking the 2025 Sexiest Man Alive, Kenny’s new book tour, Oreo’s Thanksgiving cookies, and what careers we’d have if radio hadn’t called our names. Sip or Skip makes a return — and so do the laughs, confessions, and maybe a little chaos.

This week on Off The Record, Whitney and Rachel dive into the most underrated artists they’re loving right now — because some voices deserve way more hype. Whitney also shocks Rachel (and probably half of Southeast Missouri) when she admits she just… doesn’t love TJ Maxx. 😳
Plus, things take a hilarious turn when Whitney shares a Six Flags situation involving the Mine Train and Rachel confesses she might not be winning any “Best Housekeeper” awards anytime soon. And if you thought you knew Whitney, wait until you hear how she feels about bare feet.
Another week, another round of chaos, honesty, and belly laughs — just the way we like it. 🎙️✨
