Hey everyone, it's Anne. Melody and I are deep in planning mode for episodes for the rest of the year,

and we've got our own list of subjects that we want to cover and guess we want a book.

Like, I don't know, could we do an episode about why Paul Muskell is so hot featuring Paul Muskell.

Can you make that happen, Melody?

I'll try.

Melody has Paul Muskell's email. time i have access to i am db pro

one time he hearted a tweet that i did uh with a link to a piece that i wrote about normal people

that was about how he was so hot so maybe he he knows he knows that I think that he's hot. So maybe he would

come on the show. What episodes are you still dying to hear? We can do more celebrity image

deep dives or we can go more highbrow like we did it with episodes on infrastructure or student

loans. Whatever you want to do, head to the Google forum at tiny URL.com slash

culture study pod and join in on our wild and totally undirected brainstorming.

And of course, we always need your questions for the ask and anything part of the show.

Those can go in the same form, tiny URL.com slash culture study pod.

Okay, thanks. On with the show. I think reality TD often gets lumped into this category of being

like a guilty pleasure. Yeah. And I've had to really force myself to stop thinking about it that

way, that it's okay for me as a person who I like to think

I have relatively highbrow taste in TV and I watch a lot of prestige TV and, you know, Oscar movies

and things for my job, but that it's okay for me to also love these shows. And I think when you talk

about it as only a guilty pleasure, you take away that

importance and what it means to the industry. It also is a really interesting moment to talk about it

because Hollywood is going through a lot of changes right now. And you can go back to last summer
