| 19 Aug 2021 | "Gaslight", "Narcissist" & "Sociopath": How Influencers Are Weaponising Clinical Terms For Clicks | 00:56:25 | |
In this week's episode, we look at how influencers are becoming increasingly comfortable with placing psychiatric labels on each other like "gaslighter", "narcissistic" and "sociopath" to drum up drama and win fights. We look at how these labels have transcended the field of psychiatry into internet culture and mainstream vocabulary while examining the implications of this shift on the stigmatisation of mental health. Finally, we consider why influencers are so quick to use these "buzzwords" despite the backlash and share some solutions to this rising issue.

| 30 Apr 2020 | The Great Online Shopping Debate: Pandemic Edition, w/ Crystal Andrews of Zee Feed | 00:46:17 | |
This week we have our first guest, Crystal Andrews, founder and editor of Zee Feed. We discuss whether health or the economy should be prioritised when it comes to a pandemic; when all that separates the likes of Amazon, ASOS and Sephora US from bankruptcy is their web business. Should online shopping be considered essential? And do we think the global health crisis has changed what we consider ‘essential’ or will we just return to business as usual?

This week we break down the entire Glossier is "cancelled" saga. We explain the accusations made by Outta The Gloss — the Instagram account created by former Glossier retail employees detailing their negative experiences working for the brand as BIPOC — how Emily Weiss and Glossier have responded, and why people feel the response is insufficient. Are these just the growing pains of being a startup? Can we actually call Glossier a feminist brand if it's not intersectional? Is Glossier actually as progressive as it pretends to be?

We first cover what a gossip forum & snark Reddit is, how it relates to the more commonly-known hate-watching or hate-following, the psychology behind these behaviours, and then look at some examples of when they’ve had a positive impact but also times these forums have gone too far.

In this week’s episode, we explore fandom culture from an angle we haven’t looked at before – the fan-to-”famous fan” pipeline (46:56). While “famous fans” are definitely not a new phenomenon, it’s a growing one over the past few years as virality becomes easier to obtain. We look at some recent examples of “famous fans”— like Johnny Silvestri, Ashley Leechin, Adam McIntyre, and Paige Neimann— and what this says about fan culture online, including the traits of fan communities that make it easier for individuals to rise through the ranks and become celebrities/objects of the fan culture themselves.

| 02 Aug 2022 | Sydney Sweeney & The Death Of The “Movie Star” | 01:26:26 | |
In this week's episode, we discuss the death of the classic Hollywood movie star. This is a concept that journalists and entertainment reporters have been discussing for years, but this feels like a really poignant conversation now off the back of the profile published last week on Sydney Sweeney by the Hollywood Reporter. We dive into the origins of the movie star, how social media, streaming services, and the 2008 recession impacted the film industry, and why young up-and-coming celebrities have had to turn to influencing to pay the bills.

| 04 Jun 2020 | Are The Kardashians Actually Obsessed With Being Rich? | 00:58:18 | |
In lieu of our regular pop culture introduction, we address the murder of George Floyd, the protests and rioting across the US and internationally for racial injustice and whether the social media activism we have seen take over our feeds has actually been useful. Here are the protest dates and times for Australians wanting to participate on Saturday, 6th June: Sydney: 3-5pm @ 20 Lee Street in Chippendale Melbourne: 2-5pm @ Parliament House Steps Adelaide: 12- 1:30pm @ Victoria Square Brisbane: 1-5pm @ King George Square Canberra: 3pm @ Embassy of the United States Head to these websites for educational resources, information on how to be a better ally and how and where to donate if you have the ability to: http://centennialbeauty.com/how-to-support-black-lives-matter-as-a-non-black-person/ https://www.pedestrian.tv/news/how-to-be-an-active-ally-after-black-out-tuesday/ https://www.zeefeed.com.au/blog/how-to-support-george-floyd-protest-australia We also discuss the publishing of the Forbes article (https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2020/05/29/inside-kylie-jennerss-web-of-lies-and-why-shes-no-longer-a-billionaire/) that strips Kylie Jenner of her billionaire status. Why is it important? Do we think the article is credible? Would people feel the same way about the Kardashians’ brand-building skills if they were male? And do we think she really lied about being a billionaire?

Off the back of RiceGum and Abby Rao’s Twitter feud, we tackle the parallels between RiceGum, Jake Paul and whether these viral stars are breeding a new generation of misogynistic audience. Is the audience’s reaction to viral breakups based in inherent misogyny or are these male creators breeding this mentality in their audience?

Register for the Rochas x Renegade yoga event here: https://centennialbeauty.com/rochas-girl-blooming-edition-event-registration-centennial-beauty/ In this week's episode, we dive into the TikTok cease-and-desist saga between former Real Housewives of New York star, Bethenny Frankel, and pop culture commentary creator, Meredith Lynch. After Meredith shared publicly available information on Bethenny's filed trademarks, theorising that Bethenny was possibly using her recent TikTok content reviewing a variety of consumer products as a long-lead marketing strategy for a new endeavour, Bethenny's team sent Meredith a cease-and-desist. We explore the ensuing discussion amongst users about the role of celebrities on TikTok now that the app has democratised fame and influence for "regular people".

This episode was brought to you by Carmex Australia. Head to your local pharmacy and pick up the Carmex Naturally lip balm for these dry winter months. Plus, Carmex is giving you the chance to win $5K for you and $5K for any charity you nominate by purchasing any Carmex lip balm product and entering on their website carmex.com.au. In this week's episode, we explore 'The Victoria Paris Effect.' A term coined by writer Kate Lindsay, 'The Victoria Paris Effect' speaks to the astronomical growth experienced by a new wave of TikTok vloggers who fit into the same mold— thin, white, pretty girls living in New York City that post off-the-cuff short-form vlogs multiple times a day. We share our theories on why TikTok is prioritising this type of content and consider what the algorithm is telling us about who is aspirational vs. who is relatable. We also look at other creators who have experienced similar phenomenons on different platforms such as Emma Chamberlain.

| 28 Oct 2021 | Are "Fictional" Influencers The Future? | 01:06:46 | |
In this week's episode, we explore the concept of "fictional" influencers, particularly in relation to TikTok.

In this week's episode, I explore the rise and fall of Myspace— the first site that put social networking on the map at a global scale. I look at Myspace's origins, why the site became so popular, and its cultural impact, including some of the most prolific artists and influencers to come out of the platform. I also go into how and why Myspace ultimately failed, and the legacy it left behind for Millennials online.

| 17 Feb 2022 | Why We Still Care About Anna Delvey: Inventing Anna Review | 01:17:10 | |
Use code RENEGADE for 20% off SPKD Blends: https://www.spkdblends.com/ In this week's episode, we bring you all our opinions on the new mini-series adaptation of the Anna Delvey story, Inventing Anna. We explore what was real, what was fake, and what left us utterly confused. We share our thoughts centering the show around Vivian Kent, the dramatisation of an already-interesting case, and the criticism suggesting the series glorified Anna's crimes. Inventing Anna is a Netflix & Shondaland miniseries based on a New York Magazine investigative piece covering the life of fake German heiress Anna Sorokin AKA Anna Delvey who became notorious for scamming New York’s elite. Anna is played by Julia Garner and the series follows a journalist named Vivian Kent, played by Anna Chlumsky, who is trying to redeem her career by profiling Anna’s story and scams.

| 24 Sep 2020 | Is This *Actually* Paris? | 01:01:11 | |
In this week's episode, we dive into the new Paris Hilton documentary on YouTube, 'This Is Paris.' We share our opinions on the public's overwhelmingly positive response to the documentary and discuss some major aspects of Paris' career that the director failed to address, like the star' history of racism, victim-blaming, homophobic slurs, and anti-semitism. As fans, can we honestly say we misunderstood Paris Hilton? Or is this documentary just another vanity project to bring her back into relevancy?

| 15 Aug 2023 | How Social Media Destroyed The Tween Experience ft. Taylor Lorenz | 01:29:58 | |
Pre-order Taylor's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Extremely-Online-Untold-Influence-Internet/dp/1982146869 In this week's episode, we discuss how social media has influenced how pre-teens perform age alongside internet culture expert and columnist for The Washington Post, Taylor Lorenz! (49:45) As tweens, teens, and adults interact on social media platforms together and the digital space becomes increasingly difficult to moderate, tween-specific content seems to have fallen through the cracks. From young girls incorporating anti-aging products in their skin-care routines to sharing revealing pictures of themselves online, the lack of "age-appropriate" content has seemingly led to many young people wanting to appear older than they are. And while this isn’t necessarily a new phenomenon, social media has definitely intensified the desire to grow up quickly.

We look at the culture Travis Scott has fostered amongst his fanbase, the violent history of his concerts, and how he exploits his parasocial relationship with fans for hype.

Can celebrities control their stans/fanbase and should they be held responsible for when things go wrong? Will Travis recover from this? What PR strategies do we foresee? And what changes to celebrity and influencer culture need to be made to protect fans?

| 13 May 2021 | Nikki Phillippi's Problematic Behaviour: A Timeline | 01:04:20 | |
In this week's episode, we're covering Nikki Phillippi and her husband Dan's history of problematic behaviour on YouTube over the years. Last week, the couple faced severe backlash when they revealed to Nikki’s 1.3 million subscribers that they chose to euthanize their 9-year-old dog, Bowser, after he got aggressive with their son despite refusing to train him. Though many are shocked and disgusted, those who have followed the couple were not entirely surprised. Since making her YouTube debut back in 2010, Nikki has spent years ignoring concerns from fans who feel the influencer uses her platform to spread controversial messages to her millions of followers.
