Eating For Free

THE FAME KILLS: Lady Gaga, that Rah Rah B*tch


Listen Later

We continue our series THE FAME KILLS at Gaga’s late 2000s origin: the NYC club scene. We investigate her initial impact on the music industry and its parallels to other controversial musicians of previous decades.

About:

Hosted by journalists Joan Summers and Matthew Lawson, Eating For Free is a weekly podcast that explores gossip and power in the pop culture landscape: Where it comes from, who wields it, and who suffers at the hands of it. Find out the stories behind the stories, as together they look beyond the headlines of troublesome YouTubers or scandal-ridden A-Listers, and delve deep into the inner workings of Hollywood's favorite pastime. The truth, they've found, is definitely stranger than any gossip.

You can also find us on our website, Twitter, and Instagram. Or buy our merch! Any personal, business, or general inquires can be sent to [email protected]
