Pod help us: Celebrity podcasts have reached the bottom of the barrel
Briefly

Armie Hammer, once a Hollywood star, is trying to restore his reputation after accusations of cannibalism and sexual misconduct led to his social banishment. Following an LAPD investigation that yielded no charges, he launched a podcast where he reveals intimate experiences, including a failed bisexual encounter. This incident reflects a broader trend among celebrities, where personal scandal often overshadows artistic contributions, fueling a culture of sensationalism. Hammer's podcast epitomizes the era of celebrity TMI, a spectacle where scandalous stories drive public engagement and elicit mixed reactions about contemporary fame and accountability.
On Sunday, the accused sex pest used his platform to talk about the time he was so horny, he switched teams as a hack to find no-strings gratification.
We've entered a new age of celebrity, where personal and often scandalous revelations are more valuable than artistic endeavor, raising the stakes for public attention.
The new showbiz is hawking lurid personal revelations - for clout, online influence, or to sell whatever crappy product they've slapped their name on.
We are, undoubtedly, in the golden age of celebrity TMI, where everyone has a podcast and is trying to bombard others with tawdry tidbits.
