Why Rachel Bilson Is So Done Being a People Pleaser

E! News: How did you come up with the name Broad Ideas for the podcast?

Rachel Bilson: I’m a huge fan of puns and plays on words, so a couple of broads with some very broad ideas!

E! News: What is it like to have an open and honest conversation with your friend, but to do it on-mic when you know a lot of people will eventually be listening to it?

RB: I don’t get nervous before I start, but definitely after I go through the overthinking, over-obsessing, like, “Oh, gosh, what did I say? Is this going to be out there?” But the beautiful thing about this is I have the power to edit! You know, because there’s definitely things where I want this to be as open and candid as possible. It’s really amazing to have that authentic approach and being able to talk about anything as women or anyone, for that matter. But there are times where I gotta reel it in a little bit.
