    Chappell Roan’s War on Fame (with Eliza McLamb)
    Sep 12 2024
    H-O-T-T-O-G-O, Chappell Roan is someone we do not actually know. But what do we do with the (very real) feelings and relationships we form with the people on our screens? Today, Eliza of Binchtopia and I discuss fame — global fame and niche micro “fame” — to understand where we parasocially flew off the rails, and what the future of celebrity might look like with boundaries in place.

  • The Crunchy to Far Right Pipeline

    The Crunchy to Far Right Pipeline
    Aug 28 2024
    How does a harmless interest in yoga turn into a crusade against homosexuals in public schools? Specific though it seems, we’ve all seen it happen: a friend with a seemingly innocuous interest in wellness starts “doing their research”, and one year later, bam: QAnon. Sparked by some recent beauty influencer drama, Derek Beres of Conspirituality helps us identify the far right’s Goop-iest seduction tactic. Support me + listen to bonus episodes on Patreon!

    Transvestigating (with Contrapoints)
    Aug 14 2024
    Your gender is not determined by your anatomy, your chromosomes, your hormones, or even your internal sense of self. It is determined by J.K. Rowling. Today, Natalie Wynn (aka Contrapoints) and I unpack the harassment campaign against Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and what it reveals about people who can “always tell.” Support me + listen to bonus episodes on Patreon!

A true gem

Matt skillfully tackles social issues like LGBTIA+ education and critiques of “conservative values” (lol) with humor and compassion. He blends laughter and empathy, creating an engaging podcast for meaningful discussions. He reminds us that it’s okay to question, learn, and grow. It challenges us to treat all with kindness, fostering understanding in a divided world. His episodes leave you inspired and enlightened, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking a more inclusive and compassion society.
