Duggaring Deeper

1 Listener

This week, Kate finally digs into the Duggar world after finding the Prime Video documentary Shiny Happy People particularly riveting/alarming, and explores topics adjacent to the crimes, controversy, and cultural relevance of the family, along with the connections of the IBLP to homeschooling and extensive political pipelines designed to infiltrate positions of power with individuals groomed with fundamentalist beliefs. Kate discusses her taste in reality tv, her history with TLC programming, researches a little more about wisdom booklet teachings, briefly spirals about the "He Gets Us" Super Bowl campaign/Hobby Lobby CEO, and shares some of her own POV regarding the glorifying of religious authority and how it mimics abusive dynamics.

TWs: SA, CSAM, religious trauma, among other horrifying topics. Please only listen if you’ve watched the doc and are familiar with the subject matter.

Swipe Up For More (feat. Steph McNeal)

This week, Stephanie McNeal (former culture reporter for BuzzFeed, currently a senior editor at Glamour Magazine, and the recent nemesis of Tom Sandoval’s nail beds) returns to the podcast to discuss her new book about the lives of influencers called Swipe Up For More. First, Kate reminisces about their first convo in 2020, does a brief snorkel about Caroline Calloway’s upcoming $65 book made from Italian paper (?), and then Kate and Stephanie dive into topics from her book, e.g. what it was like to shadow Shannon Bird IRL, her pilgrimage to the Utah suburbs, how/why she chose which influencers to feature, virality versus consistency in audience building, the difference between bloggers, influencers and content creators, which platforms prioritize the success of their creators, and other insights behind the curtain and into the 'secretive real world of influencers,' per her subtitle. Enjoy!
