About this listen
In this episode, Josh takes a critical look at how celebrity culture has changed, arguing that today's stars lack the mystique and glamour of Hollywood's "Golden Age" icons and even those of the pre-2010 era. He explores the shift from carefully cultivated images and limited access to the current landscape of overexposure via social media and reality TV. Josh delves into how this increased accessibility has eroded the aura of celebrity, examining the differences between the studio-controlled star system of the past and the self-promotion driven culture of today. From the elusive glamour of classic Hollywood legends to the "relatable" but often fleeting fame of modern celebrities, Josh questions whether the magic and mystique of stardom have been lost in the age of instant access and constant connection.
