What is The Culture Journalist?

Hi. The Culture Journalist is a podcast about culture in the age of platforms hosted by Emilie Friedlander and Andrea Domanick, two friends and journalists from opposite ends of the U.S. We release a new episode every two weeks, usually with a guest, uncovering the technological and economic forces percolating beneath the surface of the 21st century creative economy — and how they impact us as human beings.

“This insightful pod aims to try and make sense of an already shifting cultural landscape ripped up by the pandemic.” —The Guardian

“They are producing something smart and fun that feels like creative contraband. Think: The Devil Wears Prada, but directed by The Frankfurt School.”—minor genius

“Journalists Emilie Friedlander and Andrea Domanick’s editorial strategy with The Culture Journalist, at least as far as I can tell, is quality over quantity. The pair produce a monthly newsletter-podcast hybrid and cover topics like parasocial relationships, the strange trend of clickbait restaurants and much more.” —Anna Codrea-Rado, A-Mail

“I just subscribed to The Culture Journalist — such a useful and inspiring space for talk about the challenges and possibilities of criticism/cultural inquiry in 2021.” —Ann Powers, NPR Music
