Dispatches From The Kardashian Simulacru...

THE POLYESTER PODCAST
About this episode

We’re back in the world of The Kardashians, episode two! The sisters talk about the spectrum of the (The Kardashian) sisters and how they aesthetically and conceptually give us different things... from the tabloids stories about Khloé and will they won’t they with Tristan, to Kim’s trip to Harvard and projecting seriousness. All in all the entertainment of politics, celebrity activism and the parallels of our shows and theirs. 


A martini (wink) of an episode. 


Catch up with season one of our brand new podcast series if you missed it! We've teamed up with the genius behind Kardashian Kolloquium, MJ Corey, and her sister Marie, to breakdown the world of The Kardashians week by week.


We've also introduced a new membership tier for fans of the pod. Support the podcast here!


This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the television series being covered here wouldn't exist.
