Bloody Date Night: theatlantictransmission.com/podcast/bloody-date-night

It's been almost three months since the turmoil at Bon Appétit erupted. But amid calls to address marginalization, tokenization, and pay inequity at BA, has any real change been made?

In this episode, we recap what's been going on inside the Test Kitchen, Bon Appétit, and Conde Nast since June. Plus, with Bon Appétit videos slated to return in September, we discuss whether we'll be tuning in.

What does all this mean for Pod Appétit? Listen to hear some exciting announcements—you won't want to miss it!

(Recorded August 23, 2020)

UPDATE August 27, 2020: Dawn Davis was announced as Bon Appétit's new editor-in-chief.

On June 8, 2020, a damning photo of Adam Rapoport in brownface emerged, but Rapoport stepping down as Bon Appétit's Editor in Chief was only the beginning. In the following days, Sohla El-Waylly, Priya Krishna, Rick Martinez, and many more current and former BIPOC staff blew the lid off inequity and racial discrimination run rampant at Bon Appétit and Condé Nast.

In this episode, we recap this past week's events in detail, including the whirlwind of statements, apologies, exposés, social media posts, and fan reactions that resulted. Plus we ask ourselves: What does this mean for the future of BA, and for the future of Pod Appétit?
