Dispatches From The Kardashian Simulacru...

THE POLYESTER PODCAST
About this episode

The KarJenner sisters are fictionalising their own PR moves and Kim is pushing it to the extremes with her series of American Horror Story while using the show to embed feminism into Kim's brand alongside shamelessly canonising their world. Meanwhile in the Hulu show, the family distract us with fluffy storylines that don't mean much of anything, except to drive home the fact that the family are aligned with authenticity.


Catch up with season two of our Kardashian podcast series! 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 recorded during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the television series being covered here wouldn't exist.
