The Renegade by Centennial Beauty podcast is a captivating and informative show that delves into the world of social media influencers, beauty trends, and pop culture. Hosted by Centennial Beauty founder Eva Hartling, this podcast explores the behind-the-scenes of the influencer industry and provides unique insights into the lives and strategies of some of the biggest names in social media.
One of the best aspects of The Renegade is its in-depth interviews with influencers. Eva does a fantastic job of getting her guests to open up about their experiences, struggles, and successes as influencers. Listeners are treated to candid conversations that give them a real glimpse into what it's like to be an influencer in today's digital landscape. These interviews are not only entertaining but also provide valuable lessons and advice for aspiring influencers or anyone interested in understanding this evolving industry.
Another standout aspect of this podcast is its analysis of beauty trends and viral moments on social media. Eva dives deep into popular topics such as skincare routines, makeup tutorials, product launches, controversies, and more. She offers thoughtful commentary on these trends, providing listeners with a broader perspective on their impact on the beauty industry as a whole. This level of analysis sets The Renegade apart from other beauty podcasts and keeps listeners engaged and informed.
While The Renegade offers many positives, one potential downside is its focus predominantly on influencers within certain niches. Although it covers various types of influencers from different backgrounds, the podcast tends to prioritize those in the beauty and fashion industries. While this may appeal to some listeners who are specifically interested in these areas, others looking for a more diverse range of influencer content may find this limiting.
In conclusion, The Renegade by Centennial Beauty podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in learning about social media influence strategies, keeping up with beauty trends, or understanding the inner workings of the influencer industry. With its engaging interviews and insightful analysis, this podcast offers a unique and comprehensive look into the world of influencers. Whether you're a fan of social media or simply curious about this digital phenomenon, The Renegade is sure to entertain and educate.

To help unpack the intricacies of this space, we turned to some experts. We first spoke to Alessandra Ferreri, Head of Content at Wattpad — and then we asked you, our listeners, to share your own experiences and opinions. From these conversations, we explored two questions: Is fan-fiction positive or negative for fandom culture? And how does Gen Z perceive fan fiction?Timestamps:00:00 Intro3:47 Fan-fiction definition and its origins6:16 The modern era of fan-fiction: the rise of fanzines & pastiches7:51 Fanfiction goes mainstream: Digital fan-fiction platforms9:10 The rise of Fanfiction.net (FFN)11:12 The popularity of AO3 and Wattpad13:45 Interview with Alessandra Ferreri, Wattpad's Head of Content37:04 How fan-fiction impacts young people and how they perceive it38:58 The positives of fan-fiction43:36 The negatives of fan-fiction46:49 Conclusions Find our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/ Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/
