About Jennifer Keishin Armstrong
In today’s episode Mou (Moushumi Ghose, MFT) sits down with Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, whose writing takes readers behind the scenes of major moments in pop culture history and examines the lasting impact that our favorite TV shows, music, and movies have on our society and psyches. She investigates why pop culture matters deeply, from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Seinfeld, to Sex and the City and Mean Girls, to Beyoncé, Taylor, Chappell, and Sabrina. She has written eight books, including the New York Times bestseller Seinfeldia, When Women Invented Television, Sex and the City and Us, and So Fetch.
Jennifer began her career in newspapers and spent ten years on staff at Entertainment Weekly, where she reported from the front lines of Grey’s Anatomy, 30 Rock, Lost, and many teen dramas. Her writing has since appeared in BBC Culture, New York magazine, Billboard, and many other places. She currently curates and writes the Peabody Finds newsletter, featuring recommendations and media history, from the prestigious Peabody Awards in broadcasting. She also speaks and frequently serves as a media expert on pop culture history. She is the co-founder of the Ministry of Pop Culture Substack.
She lives with her partner in New York’s Hudson Valley, where she likes to offset her TV time by climbing, running, doing yoga, playing amateur acoustic guitar covers, and practicing Zen Buddhism.
