The three centre their conversation around class differences in the dying days of influencer culture, the changing face of fandom, and the performance of life online.


Tavi's newest project, the Audible Original series Glimpses Of The Moon, an adaptation of the 1922 Edith Wharton novel of the same name, is available to listen to now.
