Nostalgia & Now

From Next and Room Raiders to Parental Control and I Want a Famous Face, MTV gave us some of the most chaotic reality television ever made. This week, Kelli looks back at the unforgettable shows that defined the 2000s and examines why they would almost certainly never make it on air today.Sign up for the patreon for more content! - https://www.patreon.com/NostalgiaandNowPod

JoJo was only 13 when “Leave (Get Out)” made her one of the most exciting young artists in pop music. But behind the huge voice and early success was a record contract that would leave her fighting for years just to release music. In the first installment of Press Play, Kelli looks back at JoJo’s biggest songs, her acting career, the label battle that stalled her momentum, and the way she reclaimed her story on her own terms.

This week Kelli is joined by writer Lindsay Denninger to discuss her book You Know You Love Me: How Gossip Girl Changed Pop Culture. The two dive into everything from the rabid online fandom and the rise of gossip culture to the show's influence on fashion, celebrity culture, and social media as we know it today. They also discuss toxic relationships, the “Go piss girl” meme, why fan forums were better than modern social media, and whether a show like Gossip Girl could even survive in today’s streaming era.
