The Streisand Effect

Back back back back again, the pod is back! How've you've been? This is a 30 minute culture catch up episode! It includes the Oscars (not only aren't they so white, they also don't matter), Amanda Gorman's Vogue cover story, the passing of the one of a kind rapper DMX, alt-pop musician St. Vincent versus the freedom of the press, the titan of many talents Barbra Streisand (known for her Academy Award winning performance in "Funny Girl" (1968), being the highest-selling female recording artist of all time, and ya know, for being Barbra f*cking Streisand), and I define the Streisand effect. Enjoy the episode and this performance by Barbra completely slaying "Where Am I Going?" in the 1960's. Ta-ta!
