Power. Sex. Fame. Greed. These are all words. Powerful words that make you feel something deep, deep in your soul. And all those ideas are on full display in the new podcast Stiffed, hosted by this week’s guest, writer and podcaster Jennifer Romolini. Join Josh and Jenn as they go back in time to explore the ill-fated magazine Viva, and reflect on how the media landscape of the 1970’s, which gave rise to porn and quasi-porn magazines alike was somehow both better and worse than the media hellworld of today. Discussed: Feminism, bad editors, “content.”

Host Joshua Topolsky (co-creator of Vox Media and founder of The Verge) deconstructs modern culture, mining the surprising connections that make up our increasingly frenetic world. A heady mixture of fugue-state monologues and spontaneous, irreverent conversations with experts, weirdos, and big thinkers, What Future is here to dissect our insane reality, lasso the pieces, and ride off into the sunset with your money, your woman, and your pride.
