Not Right Now

Baby's First Brand Deal


Listen Later

This week, Quinn and Claire are joined by journalist and author Fortesa Latifi. She's pregnant, has a toddler at home, and is somehow also promoting a book. Respect.

Fortesa has spent years reporting on the world of mom influencers and family vloggers, and the result is her new book, Like, Follow, Subscribe. The gang covers how she got into this beat, why she approaches her subjects with empathy instead of judgment, and what she's learned about influencer kids who are now adults making their own choices about what to put online.

Also discussed: the economic reality behind "sharenting", snark subreddits, and some practical options for sharing your kids privately with family.
