Uncover the Most Celebrity Brutal Profile of All Time ft. Emma Specter
In 1992, Vanity Fair published Lynn Hirschberg's profile on punk ‘it’ girl Courtney Love, who was then being courted by Madonna's record label and pregnant to 25-year-old Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. The story contained at least six factual errors and including claims that Love lied about her age and used heroin while pregnant. The piece triggered a Child Protective Services investigation, leading Love to later blame Hirschberg, in part, for Cobain's suicide. Vogue culture writer and Courtney Love stan Emma Specter takes us back to the 90s to understand what went so wrong.

Uncover Sydney Sweeney's Naked Opportunism of ft. Ira Madison III

If you're looking to know the real Sydney Sweeney, this may be as close as we ever get. Renowned cultural critic, writer, and host of Feedback, Ira Madison III, joins to peel back the many (?) layers of Ms. Sweeney, and uncover what lies beneath.
