EVENT ALERT! Join us LIVE on June 28 at Dynasty Typewriter in LA. Get tickets here

Let’s have a life-affirming party with Audie Cornish and Ari Shapiro!

The longtime friends and journalists join Sam to explain the latest entry in the pop lexicon: Blue Dot Fever. It’s not a disease, but the terminology behind a recent wave of cancelled concert tours. From Post Malone to the Pussycat Dolls, tickets aren’t selling like they used to. They break down what the phenomenon says about our current economics and culture. 

Plus, they share their “Modern Scriptures,” the pieces of pop culture they can always count on to boost their spirits. Including a rapper’s inspiring message and a vintage poem that will bring all the feels.

Audie Cornish and Ari Shapiro’s new podcast from CNN is called Engagement Party.
