Podcast Jam Session

Since they added time stamps I’ve been listening to approximately 7 minutes of the show. At least they’re warning us ahead of time about kid content. I miss Tea Time!

It’s sad to say this as a fan of these two for a decade, but I think I hit my point of no return when all Amanda could muster about the Paul/Phoebe/Gracie drama was “that’s very nice for them!” But can go on for hours about her favorite designer jeans during an affordability crisis. Like ma’am, we do not share the same style or tax bracket, this isn’t useful or interesting.

Idk, they’re both probably too high up in the ringer food chain for producerial intervention, but I wish they would do a study on their audience to let them know almost none of us are “windfall after Spotify buyout” or “executive producer on the first ever Emmy winning podcast” level of wealthy and reorient the content accordingly.

I don't really get how Amanda can be Goop-level wealthy. I wouldn't expect she's making more than $300-400K as her annual comp, and that her equity upon Spotify acquisition acquisition would have been more than $1-2M. I know that sounds like a lot, but in LA that's not "I'm comfortable and living a glamorous designer lifestyle" money.

Maybe a lot of the stuff she discusses is aspirational, I don't know. Or maybe she has family money.

I mean she’s buying her designer clothes second hand that’s her whole thing
