Under the Influence with Jo Piazza
Jo PiazzaUnder 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

- Nope
I just can’t anymore. This podcast started out focusing on social media topics and was fascinating to me but has gone off the rails in an uber woke way that just lost me.

Not great, when there’s a big topic I like her take, but her voice is pretty tough to listen to for awhile. Most episodes are pretty random non-topics.
Apple Podcasts3Sophiemarie23United States2 months ago - Only one chance to make a first impression
Enjoyed her novel and wanting to unplug/deinfluence, so thought I'd check out the podcast. First one I chose was How to Be An Old Rich Woman. As a new empty nester, this topic resonated. The first half was great! Common sense advice and reminders. Second half was terrible...cut your Amazon Prime but NOT to stop your late night ordering habit...but bc her guest hates Amazon for political reasons. Same with Hilton bc they collude with ICE. Forget those points that might give you a nice vacation. S... more
Apple Podcasts1sbe1970United States2 months ago - Not feminist
Unfollowing because Jo Piazza is not feminist enough to understand coercive control, the cycle of abuse, or the wheel of power and control enough to see the truth: Taylor Frankie Paul is the victim and Dakota is her abuser.
