The party’s about to start. Are you on the guest list?
Just kidding, everyone’s invited! This is Engagement Party, a brand-new newsletter companion to the pop culture podcast of the same name hosted by Audie Cornish and Ari Shapiro. We’re here to make you the best-read guest at the gathering, if by “read” you mean “caught up on ‘The Odyssey’ discourse and what the ominous return of fro-yo means,” of course. (It’s kind of a sneaky recession indicator, right?) Silly, smart and spicy are the main ingredients here.
If that sounds like your cup of tea, subscribe to Engagement Party! Read our FAQs for more on what this party’s all about.
You mean you don’t already watch and/or listen to the podcast?! Please rectify this at once. On Engagement Party the show, longtime BFFs Audie and Ari make sense of what’s happening online, “re-knitting” together our tattered timelines and disparate algorithms, and explain why it matters to you.
Engagement Party the newsletter is an extension and expansion of their conversations, with new takes about how internet absurdity shapes our offline lives. If that sounds serious, please know that any anthropological assessments of our collective psyche that come out of these conversations are purely incidental.
