About this listen

In honor of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour coming through Chicago and Lucia not getting tickets in time, this week's episode focuses on how the celebrity lifestyle is BAD for the environment (is often wasteful and carbon intensive). Lucia and Tyler discuss the Kardashians (now streaming on Hulu), Kevin Hart's addiction to water, influencer culture on social media, and the psychology that explains why celebrity endorsements make us want to buy more products and how advertising takes advantage of that science to manipulate us into buying things we don't really need (hint: we are cavemen terrified of being slain by our enemies). Capitalism!
