Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trend Forecaster Emily Segal on Tasteslop, Normcore & Dating for Literature Lovers
Q: What inspired the Umami Theory of Value and what larger forces did it connect to?
Umami was a metaphor for the hypertrophy of meaning in a zero-interest-rate era, linking everyday micro-observations to macro forces like gentrification and shifting values, showing how culture absorbs and repurposes signals in a time of abundance and change.
Trend Forecaster Emily Segal on Tasteslop, Normcore & Dating for Literature Lovers
Q: How did Normcore originally emerge and what did it signify at the time?
Normcore started as an earnest, almost unserious attempt by a group of young creatives to describe a form of extreme versatility in dressing and behavior that could fit any setting, which later resonated with broader fashion and cultural trends; it was a way to decode cool by stripping it down and focusing on inclusivity of environments rather than signals.
Writer Amil Niazi on Losing her Ambition, Motherhood and the Millennial Mid-Life Crisis
Q: What do you think your ambitions looked like when you were growing up?
I envisioned a successful career, influenced by 90s and 2000s pop culture, where hard work would equate to achieving dreams, but the reality proved to be much different.
Writer Amil Niazi on Losing her Ambition, Motherhood and the Millennial Mid-Life Crisis
Q: What would you articulate was the genesis for the book?
It was born out of a post-pandemic disillusionment with professional life, particularly feeling that every step forward was met with setbacks.
Deep Read Salon LIVE: 39BC Founder Sharmadean Reid on Rituals, Research, and Moving into her 'Yin' Era
Q: Do you have any tips for retaining what you read and maintaining the useful bits?
Reading without distractions is essential, so I leave my phone away from me when I read. I also find it helpful to walk and reflect after reading to solidify the information. Additionally, writing about what I've read helps retention and comprehension.
