Tom Schwartz is debuting his new podcast, and his first guest is none other than ex-wife Katie Maloney. The podcast, entitled Detox Retox, is launching today on PodcastOne and brings the exes back together to reconnect and reminisce.
The Vanderpump Rules alums finalized their divorce in 2022 after six years of marriage. The split was difficult to navigate as Tom was swept up in the messy Scandoval affair. It took time for him and Katie to go from just being “on terms” to being “on good terms.”

Now, Tom and Katie are catching up on his new podcast. US Weekly confirmed that Katie is the inaugural guest of Tom’s show. And it looks like Tom will be returning the favor and appearing on Katie’s podcast, too.
“It was so nice catching up with Katie at her new place, just chilling with the dogs,” Tom shared. “We cracked open a bottle of Witches of Weho Pinot Noir to reflect on some Vanderpump Rules memories. I’m so happy to see her happy. I’ll always treasure the time we had together — truly one of the most unique experiences two people can share.”
Katie added that there was also a “light roast in the mix” and a look at where she and Tom are today. I guess time did heal these particular wounds.
For Tom, the podcast is a part of his new chapter and his passion project. As the original cast moves on from VPR, they’ve all started new gigs. Tom has appeared on The Valley and looks forward to his next projects and working on his podcast.
“I’m excited to be taking people along for this new ride,” Tom said. “This new era is about growth, good vibes, and maybe a little mischief. We’ll explore self-improvement and indulge in life’s pleasures, mindfully. And if we fall apart a bit? That’s okay too.”
Katie, for her part, has her own podcast as well, entitled Disrespectfully with bestie Dayna Kathan. She also runs the sandwich shop Something About Her with Ariana Madix. Katie also has a new boyfriend, Nick Martin from Sleeping with Sirens, who Tom thinks is pretty cool!
It’s nice to see these two exes overcome the hurdles and get to a good place.
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
