We're headed into the gloss on this week's interview with our old pal, writer and author of the upcoming book Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier, Marisa Meltzer. Marisa came through to leave it all out on the field to talk line editing James' brother's wedding vows, her terminal case of vacation shopping disease, not letting other people's trash swag ruin your favorite brands, clowncore, tasteful and cheap goth moms, what her new book is all about, going up against the Glossier army, tips for engaging terminator mode so you can stay objective when interviewing celebs, Substack shawties, podcast princesses and the entrepreneurial spirit of  today's content creators, the duality of readings, how a writer can reach Gen Z's atrophied brains, book advances, unlocking the second location, trying to go hiking with Britney Spears' soon-to-be ex-husband, the cult of personality leap of faith, turbo Miami press trip plus-ones, her Dimes Square OG status, bachelorette party vibes ruining dinner, an undying love for Subway sandwiches, thoughts on the hetero menswear zeitgeist, a literal cursed first date and much more on this intriguingly insider episode of The Only Podcast That Matters™.

In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
