Gris and Lilah return with a revamped show: welcome to Culture Call! Lilah visits New York Times feature writer Taffy Brodesser-Akner at home in suburban New Jersey to talk about how she constructs her viral celebrity profiles (think Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicki Minaj). We also discuss her first novel,* Fleishman is in Trouble*.
Good news: you can now find us on Twitter! It’s @FTculturecall). As always, feel free to email us with the cultural trends you can’t get out of your head at [email protected]).
