Like, it's really hard. I know it wasn't like this for me, but I know for a lot of people, Harry Potter was like this, right? Where it was this kind of devastating blow to lose something that you loved so much. And...
I get that like it's really hard to handle gossip about a person that directly created something but then the thing they created is like technically separate from that like messy yeah yeah and also not even if it is separate it never is exactly there's no way it's not part of the lens that you're looking through and neither should it be possible to look at them without that affecting your view of them um
Oh, great.
Books are so annoying, like as a blogger by training and in heart, like I've always worked on a really tight turnaround, right? Like even when I was doing cultural criticism, it was like the max I ever waited for something to be published was like a print deadline, which is probably six or eight weeks out, right? Yeah, max. Max.
And with a book, it's like I say I put my finishing touches on it in August, but like that was fact checking and copy editing and like final touches. It wasn't like, I'm going to insert 12 pages of material here, right? So in reality, I haven't been able to add much to this since, I don't know, June of last year. Yeah. Which is a long time. It's a long time.
The first thing I'm thinking about is the Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively case, right? Yes. I'm like, they could have done me a real favor and done this drama two years ago. Like, that would have helped me personally so much. And I know that you have done a lot of like reading on this also.
But that is such an interesting case from a gossip perspective because it is not only just an absolute mess of he said, she said material. It is so revealing about the gossip industry in Hollywood on its own, right? Seeing like who gets what and when these things are revealed is just, I would have loved to have had that when I was working.
It would have been a banger.
Oh my God. Sprayed edges. Who am I? Rebecca Yaros? Sprayed edges? Kelsey? I know. We're all so horny for sprayed edges.
Don't tease me like that.
Thank you for having me. How do you feel to have announced the first episode date?
I'm all amped up.
To actually be surprised by a twist instead of having planned how a twist will hit for months. Oh, I can't wait.
I will, but I'm sure they're going to be great.
You can hear this from me. Thank you for having me.
From PRX.
This is it. We are running out of time to reach our goal of 2024 donors before the end of the year. The money that you donate, the funds you're able to share, are crucial to keeping our network running and ensuring that you get to listen to Normal Gossip and all of the other fantastic shows on Radiotopia.
I got to spend an evening recently with Nate DiMaio, the host of The Memory Palace, which is a beautiful show that is also part of Radiotopia. He was in my city promoting his new book, also called The Memory Palace, and he started talking about Radiotopia.
I felt so proud to be a colleague of his and to be part of this collective that literally puts its money where its mouth is when it comes to supporting independent creators. I understand there is so much going on in the world right now.
It's a tough time for independent media and podcasts, for people who want to have control over their intellectual property, over their business decisions, and over their creative projects. Radiotopia is a place where that's possible, but only with your help. This community of incredible creators wouldn't exist without listeners like you.
