Writer Amanda Fortini joins us to discuss women's magazines in the early aughts, Instagram faces, what it's really like to profile celebrities, how "geography is destiny," and living a creative and curious life in mid-life and beyond.

Also: We talk about Shani Darden's Retinol Reform, a nice cream which will probably do nothing for your neck.

Our show's Instagram is @eifpodcast and you can find Kim on her blog Girls of a Certain Age.
