Under the Influence is a deep dive into social media, a place haunted by aspirational marketing where it feels like every other person is a social media influencer trying to sell you something, all while posed in perfect houses that never seem to get messy. And behind this airbrushed perfection is money, so much money. Billions and billions of dollars. Journalist and mom Jo Piazza looks at how we got here, what it all means and how the commodification of every single aspect of our lives is driving everyone (but mostly women and mothers) a little insane.Jo Piazza Beziehungen Elternschaft & Familienleben Sozialwissenschaften

  • Katie Sturino on “I’m Fine,” Midlife, and Not Giving the EFFs - PLUS A COVER REVEAL FOR THE LAST RIDE!!!

    Katie Sturino on “I’m Fine,” Midlife, and Not Giving the EFFs - PLUS A COVER REVEAL FOR THE LAST RIDE!!!
    Nov 2 2026
    We’re kicking off with a cover reveal! People magazine debuted the cover of The Last Ride, our new murder-for-hire thriller set at a high-end Wyoming dude ranch. Think Yellowstone meets White Lotus with the right amount of Dirty Dancing. It comes out July 6, and preorders are open now wherever books are sold. Then we sit down with Katie Sturino, founder of Megababe, to talk about the two words women say way too often: “I’m fine.” Megababe’s research found that 96% of women say they’re fine when they aren’t at least once a week, and 81% will sit in physical discomfort for hours rather than complain. We get into why we feel so much pressure to be low-maintenance and agreeable, how to give someone an honest answer without trauma dumping, and why Katie chose to team up with Lancôme instead of picking a fight when the brand launched a campaign similar to hers. We also talk about why middle age is secretly the best age, the superpower of no longer giving the F’s, reinventing your life at any stage, self-tan hacks, and Megababe’s new Coldies cooling collar (which may or may not be making a cameo in The Last Ride).

  • Can We Go Back to the Office Without Losing Our Flexibility?

    Can We Go Back to the Office Without Losing Our Flexibility?
    Oct 27 2026
    Work is broken for most of us. The modern office was built for men with stay-at-home wives. School lets out at 3, childcare costs a fortune, and we’ve all gone a little feral since the pandemic. But we’re also lonelier than ever, and we’re losing something real when we never see each other in person. This week we talk with economist Natalia Emanuel, co-author of In Person, about why being together makes us smarter, more creative, and less miserable. We get into why we hate a Zoom (there’s brain science behind it), how young people are supposed to find mentors and make friends when they only see their coworkers on a screen, why the fight over remote versus in-office misses the point, and what a workplace built for actual humans, not shareholders, could look like.
