8. “Famous People Ruined Fame” | Just Like Us: The Tabloids That Changed America

from Ringer Dish · host The Ringer

So what does it even mean to be famous today? The tabloids and the paparazzi industry are a shadow of their former selves, and the modern version of celebrity spawned on social media looks nothing like it did in 2000. In this episode, we look at the evolution of celebrities’ interactions with the public and the press, and just how hard you have to hustle now for even a little bit of fame. Host: Clare Malone Producers: Amanda Dobbins, Sean Fennessey, Juliet Litman, Vikram Patel, and Kaya McMullen Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
