Show Notes
This was an episode for the history books! I found Alegría on TikTok when she posted a TikTok about Succession and the Kardashians. I had to have her on the podcast to pick her brain even further.

In this episode, we talk about:
- The Kardashians potentially modeling their new season on Hulu after Succession
- The idea of class and wealth in the U.K vs. the U.S.
- The representation of class systems in the Succession characters
- The idea of nepo-babies vs influencers
- The TikTok algorithm and how they randomize your virality so it feels like gambling
- How the cast of Succession reflects different members of the Kardashians
- Gen Alpha being the first generation to not know their own handwriting
- The idea that visuals are a new form of language on the internet
- The commodification of growing old
