Being labeled “gifted” in school can come with perks — but research is showing those don't always carry over into adulthood. Constance Grady, senior correspondent for Vox, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the nature/nurture arguments around giftedness, how being tapped as gifted changes mental health outcomes well into adult years, and how a gifted education model affects future potential. Her article is “Does being a gifted kid make for a burned-out adulthood?”

Today’s episode was guest-hosted by Yasmeen Khan.

As injectable drugs used for weight loss like Ozempic become more mainstream, how will we as a society view body diversity? And, given that these drugs are so expensive, how will that divide who is thin and who is not? We speak about Ozempic's impact on the body positivity movement and feminism with Vox senior correspondent Constance Grady, who wrote an article, "The Year of Ozempic Bodies and Barbie Botox." Plus, we take your calls.

The love story between Hollywood megastars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was destined for public fascination from the start as they merged family, philanthropy and a rather unexpected shared passion — wine. So, when they split in 2016, no one saw it coming. What followed was one of the most bitterly contested celebrity divorces in recent history. But what came after was in some ways even uglier — a lawsuit over Miraval, an estate in the south of France and home of its namesake rosé. This lawsuit opened a window into Brangelina's private lives and revealed why their marriage ultimately fell apart. In our 10th episode this season, we dissect the court documents to understand the broader implications of this battle. The couple bought Château Miraval to create a haven away from Hollywood, but the vineyard dispute ultimately revealed how their rosé relationship soured into vinegar. The denouement will be anything but neat as the court parses out who owns what. Fitting, in a way, since perfect endings are rare outside of Tinseltown.Special guests:Constance Grady, culture writer for VoxTamlyn Currin, wine writer and editor for Jancis RobinsonNancy Chemtob, founder and partner at Chemtob Moss Forman & BeydaSteven Mandel, founder at The Mandel Law FirmThis episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Have you heard about the “puriteens”? That's the nickname for Gen Z'ers who are uncomfortable with sex and sexuality, and discuss that discomfort, largely online. Well, the media is obsessed with them and what their #thoughts mean for the state of their sex lives. But how accurate is that label? Is this a real thing? Our Assignment this week: unpacking the “puriteen” label.  We called up  Constance Grady, who is both a millennial and the Vox senior correspondent behind The Purity Chronicles, and Izzy Ampil, the Gen Z writer who reported “People Think Gen Z Is Sex Negative, But The Truth Is More Complicated” for Buzzfeed News.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

What do we do when an artist we love does something monstrous? Constance Grady, a culture writer at Vox, talks with Claire Dederer, the author of Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma. They discuss how to reckon with the facts and feelings of consuming art by someone who's done something bad, if it's possible to separate the art from the artist, and what responsibility — if any — comes with being a fan.

She's a maneater, wish you never ever met her at all! Join BP, Coop and Justin as we discuss Jennifer's Body, the 20009 underrated horror/comedy written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama. Starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, J. K. Simmons, Amy Sedaris, and Adam Brody, the film follows a demonically possessed high school student who kills her male classmates and devours their flesh in order to survive, with her childhood friend striving to end her killing spree.

She stated that after the Me Too movement highlighted routine sexual harassment and misconduct in the media industry, the film's story of "a group of powerful men sacrificing a girl's body on the altar of their own professional advancement" became "uncomfortably familiar." This, according to Grady, allowed viewers to see the film, rather than as a sex fantasy, as a revenge fantasy as Jennifer uses her abused body against her attackers. According to the screenwriter, Diablo Cody, the film was marketed "all wrong". She had argued with executives who wanted "to market this to boys who like Megan Fox. That's who's going to see it. And I was like. No! This is a movie for girls too! That audience, they did not attempt to reach." In a 2022 essay on its status as a classic queer and bisexual film, Carmen Maria Machado wrote that Jennifer's Body speaks to "what it means to experience parallel sexualities with your best friend as you punch through the last vestiges of childhood." Machado rejects accusations that the film is guilty of queerbaiting, considering it instead an effective depiction of the "central body of water that is bisexuality" which many queer people spend at least some of their life in. #jennifersbody #meganfox #amandaseyfried #revenge #vampire #demon #nellyfurtado #maneater #horror #movie #death #horrorfilm #splatter #deathscene #blood #gore #scarymovie #horror #completeguidetohorror #horrormovie #scary #creepy #graphic

Last year, a TV show called Pam and Tommy dramatized the turbulent marriage between Canadian actress/model Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. It's the latest in a string of documentaries and shows that revisit and reframe the cultural conversation around famous women of the ‘90s and 2000s who were often wronged in the name of entertainment. But for Pamela Anderson, Pam and Tommy was not vindication. Now the Baywatch star is speaking out against the project, and telling her own story, with an intimate new Netflix documentary called Pamela, a love story. Today on Front Burner, Constance Grady, senior correspondent on the Culture team at Vox, joins us to cover the documentary and share her thoughts.

Even if you don't follow gossip sites, it was almost impossible this year to ignore the scandals, missteps, and legal woes of celebrities. Gossip has been a part of the media landscape almost since the advent of newspapers, gaining popularity throughout the 20th century and expanding across new media platforms.But this year, stories that might have once been relegated to sites like TMZ or Gawker became part of the mainstream news feed. NPR's Andrew Limbong speaks with media critic Eric Deggans, and Constance Grady of VOX, on the thin line between news and gossip.

John and Craig welcome back Liz Alper (Day of the Dead, The Rookie) and Brittani Nichols (Abbott Elementary, A Black Lady Sketch Show) to discuss how much progress has been made on issues from #MeToo, #PayUpHollywood, and depictions of police on screen.

We also answer listener questions on how to deal with ethically complicated projects and why there's still so much copaganda on television. In our bonus segment for premium members, John tells Craig a real life fairy tale about ‘The Writer Who Left his Reps.' It's magical and full of hope.

Exploring the scourge of 2000s "bubblegum misogyny" (see Constance Grady in Vox, 2021) and its effect on the minds of young girls like the writer herself, the essay reflects on how the public's dissociative seeing of celebutantes like Paris, Nicole, Mischa, and Mary Kate foreshadowed our own unmooring of our images from ourselves. Following the reading, Ellie and Carrie discuss how their prelapsarian Internet experience (think computer rooms and Ebaum's World) devolved into something much darker and panoptically consuming. Is our fall from grace, triggered by Eve's eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, a fortunate one? What would John Milton have to say?

In this episode, my topic is the 6-week Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial. Although some listeners may not find this interesting or important, everything about this trial is critical. Domestic violence stops all the victims from being a vibrant part of society. Having a career, building a friendship, and loving family members. All of it is simply too hard. True, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are two celebrities, but that doesn't make their story not worth hearing. You never know when you will be desperate for a place to turn or if someone will need your help. I summarize the trial and have a few audio clips that are heartbreaking. I don't hesitate to say that the whole 6-week trial was hard to watch. Domestic and sexual violence create psychological and physical damage that will live with victims, sometimes forever. And if you see something, say something because we don't want anyone to suffer in silence. Be kind To Everybody Everywhere.   Stories and articles in this episode: http://www.batteredmen.com - Resources for men (and women), as well as a place for them to tell their stories.

Vox's Constance Grady talks with writer Jonathan Lethem about his 2003 work The Fortress of Solitude in this recording from a live Vox Book Club event. They discuss the prescient and still-relevant themes of the novel — like the issues of appropriation in art, gentrification, and superheroes, how Lethem approaches "realism" in his writing, and the role of music and comics in both his own life and the lives of his characters.

Vox's Constance Grady talks with writer Carmen Maria Machado, whose 2017 short story collection Her Body and Other Parties was a National Book Award finalist. In this episode, which is a recording of a live Vox Book Club event, they discuss how this haunting genre-straddling collection conveys the underlying horrors of being an embodied woman, how the nation's shifting cultural mores around sexual violence are reflected in Law & Order: SVU, and how Machado's writing expresses what she just might start calling the "femme uncanny."

For the Season Finale of Season 2, we are running Shorts a bit differently. We're reading, “The Cheater's Guide to Love,” by Junot Diaz published in the New Yorker in 2012. It is also the final story in Diaz's 2012 short story collection, This is How You Lose Her, which was a finalist for the US national book award. However today, we're discussing the relationship between the reader and the writer. Today we will be focusing on the tricky and murky question of: how do the actions of a writer impact your reading of their work?

Vox's Constance Grady talks with Bart Nickerson, the co-creator of new TV show Yellowjackets, which airs on Showtime. Yellowjackets follows a girls' soccer team, stranded in the Canadian wilderness in 1996 as teenagers — and also the present-day middle-aged women that some of the survivors become. Bart and Constance discuss the role of trauma on television, the process of crafting characters across two timelines, and why the struggle for survival (and cannibalism) fits a story about adolescence.

Amanda and Kara acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we are on today, the Yugambeh language people. We would also like to pay our respects to Elders past and present. Pop culture babyyyy! It's one of our favourite topics to talk about, but it's also something packed full of shame, judgement and - you guessed it - misogyny. This week we not only talk about our favourite pop culture moments from childhood, but also the power that young girls have when it comes to making pop culture what it is and why the world just can't seem to let them love what they love without criticising them for it.

The podcast episode we've been wanting to do forever; the definitive guide to Caroline Calloway's rise to fame, subsequent fallout, and iconic place in pop culture as an OG social media scammer is here!Guest-host Maggie Patterson, fellow podcaster and expert in online scams in business, joins the discussion. We cover so much ground, starting from the beginning; how Caroline's ivy-league fueled childhood led her to Cambridge, where her idyllic 'American abroad at a storied Ivy League Institution' aesthetic combined with long form narrative captions on Instagram gained her followers, fame, and a lucrative book deal.Like many things we see on social media, all was not as it appears. After losing her book deal, she launches creativity workshops that promise social media branding tutorials, flower crowns, and artisanal salad. If you didn't know who she was yet, this is the point she pinged your cultural radar as journalist Kayleigh Donaldson outs her event as being a total scam in a Twitter thread and subsequent viral article. We deep dive what the optics of her life looked like to her 800k followers, versus reality, as explored in The Cut's damaging article titled 'I Was Caroline Calloway,' written by former best friend (and as it turns out, writer of much of Caroline's words), Natalie Beach.While Caroline's story could serve as a cautionary tale to influencers everywhere, we find ourselves wondering...is anyone on social media truly authentic? Whether they are aspirational influencers or relatable best-friend type influencers, they're all trying to sell you something. Caroline's story isn't unique, but leaning into her insta-scam persona and making the grift part of her narrative, is what makes her compelling. We debate whether she's the writer she claims to be, or a cunning performance artist.Obsessions include Mindy Kaling's brilliant new show 'The Sex Lives of College Girls,' and Sex and the City reboot 'And Just Like That.' Will you ever look at a Peloton the same way?So much to unpack in this show, buckle up!We love engaging with listeners, so follow along and let us know what you think on Instagram @haveyouheardpodcast.

Esse é o primeiro episódio do nosso Especial de Dia das Bruxas 2021, abordando o Garota Infernal (Jennifer's Body, 2009), dirigido por Karyn Kusama, roteirizado por Diablo Cody e protagonizado por Amanda Seyfried e Megan Fox.

Culture writer Constance Grady (vox.com) joins us to talk about Britney Spears court case which she has followed closely, the #freebritney movement, how it has started major discussions on reforming conservatorships, the cultural implications and what will be happening going forward. Grady recently written a series of articles “The Purity Chronicles” where she examines the bubblegum misogyny of pop culture and looks back at the sexual and gendered mores of the late '90s and 2000s.

This week was the first time Britney Spears ever personally addressed the court — and in doing so, the public — about wanting to terminate the conservatorship, controlled by her father, that she has been under since 2008. But the New York Times recently reported that her lawyer first told a court seven years ago that Britney wanted to explore having her father removed. Dan is joined by Vox.com's Constance Grady to discuss how public concern about her conservatorship went mainstream, what we know about her situation, what this says about how our culture thinks about celebrity and mental illness, and what could come next in this case.

Steven Spielberg's film adaptation of Ernest Cline's divisive 2011 novel is the subject of this episode. Jordan Poss of Piedmont Technical College and Nathan Magee of Mount Aloysius College join Danny for this discussion. Cline's novel, though initially beloved suffered the scorn of critics in the wake of Gamergate. How has Spielberg's adaptation addressed those concerns? What is it about the 1980s that fosters such nostalgia right now? What political position does this film take on consumerism and corporations? Exactly what kind of an artist is Spielberg and why is he obsessed with Stanley Kubrick? All this and much much more!
