Under the Influence is a deep dive into social media, a place haunted by aspirational marketing where it feels like every other person is a social media influencer trying to sell you something, all while posed in perfect houses that never seem to get messy. And behind this airbrushed perfection is money, so much money. Billions and billions of dollars. Journalist and mom Jo Piazza looks at how we ... more

The podcast is no longer anything like what it set out to be. There is no... more

I’m so glad I discovered Jo’s podcast. I’m a new listener, and it’s already at the top of my list. Fun guests with useful experiences to share, along with entertaining banter, of course.
