Is the age of influencers over? And, the worst concert trend ever

About this episode

A sign declaring “no influencers” in a Nantucket store recently unlocked a lot of strong feelings online around influencer fatigue. Internet culture reporters Madison Malone Kircher and Kat Tenbarge join guest host Amil Niazi to talk about the reaction, and whether the age of the influencer is over.


Plus, there’s been a pretty gross trend emerging at some of the biggest concerts over the past few years: fans wearing diapers, and often using them, to ensure they remain at the barricade and as close to their idols as possible. Music journalist Megan LaPierre talks about this nasty epidemic and if concert culture has really gone down the toilet.
