Show Notes
Description: “…You think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the podcast industry when, in fact, you're listening to a podcast that was selected for you by the people in the room…and Who? Weekly!” This week on the show, we’re joined by the hosts of Who? Weekly, Lindsey Webber and Bobby Finger, to discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2, starring a list of all-star Thems: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
20 years on, much has changed in the worlds of Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs; amidst the cratering value of traditional media, Miranda and Andy reconnect to save Runway Magazine from bad billionaires. Despite its depressing subject matter, the movie is still breezy, funny, and surprisingly well observed. As veterans in the NYC media wars, we get into our histories with the original, recount our encounters with billionaire magazine owners, do a Meryl performance review, discuss the film’s elegy for tastemakers like Anna Wintour, and why we all still want (and need) publications like Vogue and Runway.
Next week we’re talking about sheep and cozy mysteries with The Sheep Detectives! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

But first, we take a question from the mailbag to demystify the fall festival circuit and how these giant star-studded events actually work.
