  • Did Conde Nast shape the world?

    Did Conde Nast shape the world?
    Jul 4 2025

    In this episode of The Americano, Freddy Gray speaks with New York Times writer and debut author Michael Greenbaum about his new book Empire of the Elite, a sweeping history of Condé Nast—the media empire that once dictated American taste, fashion, and celebrity. From Anna Wintour’s carefully staged exit to the vanished world of glossy magazine grandeur, Greenbaum charts how the institution that once crowned cultural royalty is struggling to stay relevant in an era of TikTok stars and Substack columnists.


    On the podcast they explore the rise of celebrity culture, the influence of British identity on Condé’s editorial direction, and the complex relationship between Donald Trump and the house that built (and later disowned) him.
