Ever feel like you're just one awkward family gathering or bizarre social encounter away from a full-blown story? That's the territory explored in Here Comes the Drama with Christa Innis. Hosted by Christa from Party Planning by Christa, this isn't your standard advice show. Instead, it's a deep and often hilarious dive into the messy, relatable, and downright strange situations that define our interactions with others.

You’ll hear unfiltered discussions that blur the lines between leisure and social commentary, all delivered with a comedic touch that never shies away from the absurd.
