THE FAME KILLS: Lady Gaga's Resurrection

Eating For Free

In the introduction episode of our new series "THE FAME KILLS," we discuss the impact of fame, persona, and surreality that artists cultivate in the culture they inhabit. We start with Lady Gaga, diving deep into the arc of her larger-than-life personality, the double-life she used to inhbait, and her metamorphosis into becoming the character she created.

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.
