It's the Divas Episode: Streisand! Kardashian! And ... Napoleon?
Listen now
Description
This week, Flora Gill discusses why all of us will soon be unable to avoid Kim Kardashian’s nipples. Then, while we’re on the subject of divas, it’s been impossible to avoid the new memoir by Barbra Streisand. Yet there’s one problem with the book, which clocks in at almost 1,000 pages: there’s no index. No way to find out if you are one of the thousands of people she mentions. Luckily, here at Air Mail, we’ve solved that problem for you, and George Kalogerakis will tell us all about our latest public service, the Streisand Index. And on the subject of obsessions: Sam Wasson, who knows the history of Hollywood like few other writers, shares with us how the famed director Stanley Kubrick tried to take on Napoleon, yet in the process suffered his own creative Waterloo.
