“Curtain for Zoosha! K-smog and Batboy caught flipping a grunt.” If that's also what every headline sounds like to you, then you're in the right place. Alex Earle and Stella Lefty are taking over For You Page discourse, but are two pop culture figures we somehow know everything and nothing about. On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Hip Replacement's Kyle Raymond Fitzpatrick to get to the bottom of exactly who these women are, and how the ambient, “nothing” nature of their digital footprint is precisely the point. This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay, with help from Evan Campbell. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
