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.

Latest episode about weight loss drugs lost me in the first two minutes when said that that every woman in her 30s, 40s, or 50s is either taking or secretly googling these drugs, and that she’s sick of all these people pretending they stay in shape without drugs. She ends with the classic “I want to hear from real women.” As a woman in her 30s who has not been “secretly googling” weight loss drugs and does stay in shape via diet and exercise only, I didn’t realize I don’t count as a “real woman”... more
