The Voice is back for its 15th season, and so is “The Day After,” featuring myself and Voice Season 9 top four finalist Jeffery Austin — now in even chattier, snarkier podcast form, with a snazzy new “The Day After” theme song by our good American Idol friends Blake Lewis and Brandon Rogers!

Today, along with discussing the second week of Blind Auditions and the possibility of SandyRedd winning the show, we recap Dragcon NYC, wish Jeffery’s former coach Gwen Stefani a happy 49th birthday, celebrate #MeanGirlsDay, cordially invite Jeffery’s Season 9 co-star Jordan Smith to be a “The Day After” guest, bitch about the lack of Universal Records support for Chloe Kohanski and Chris Blue, root for Oscar glory for A Star Is Born‘s Shangela and Willam, and sing the praises of the cruelly Oscar-overlooked From Justin to Kelly.

And FYI, if you prefer the written word, you can check out my Voice and Idol reviews on Yahoo Entertainment right here. Jeffery and I will be back next for The Voice Season 15 Blind Auditions week three and all season long.
