Vapid, shallow tripe
I thought this would be about the intersecting lives of rising literary powerhouses. But this podcast has no substance at all. The syrupy, giggly host wastes time fawning over the tediously obnoxiously vain Bret Easton Ellison; she glosses over substance to focus on Ellison’s Wayfairers and indulge him his petty grievances. What about Quintana, Joan Didion’s daughter at Bennington? What about Donna Tartt? We’re only given shreds and asides. Mostly this rag consists of a bunch of C-level students rehashing passé glories that hold no value to objective listeners whatsoever. Who green lit this steaming tripe? I demand a redo of worth!
