Very sadly, it's been announced today that the @slate.com Culture Gabfest, which set the standard for arts podcasts, will end after this month. I had the honour of being one of the first regular guests to come say goodbye, with a final great conversation. carlwilson.substack.com/p/au-revoir-...
Au revoir, Culture Gabfest
Slate's flagship arts podcast sets sail for the horizon. Plus: lots of bonus tracks

Hard agree. See it through to the end. As a Slate plus member I enjoyed the eoisode-by-episode analysis on the Culture Gabfest "plus" episodes. Nothing like three smart culture critics talking about it.
Shout out to @thehighsign.bsky.social : I appreciated your work and miss the Gabfest dearly.

As Culture Gabfest is ending, this week's show marks my official final appearance. But it's a GOOD episode with some great familiar faces!
We discuss:
- Masters of the Universe with @jamellebouie.net
- Is God Is
- and Taylor Swift with @jodyrosen.bsky.social + @juliaturner.bsky.social!
