A joint episode containing an abridged part 2 of “Fitch, Please” (A&F Deep Dive) as well as listener stories about mall modeling & scams masquerading as magazine classified “modeling schools.” The episode begins with Kate’s windy thoughts about her obsession with malls, magazine editors, models, and related media, and while she draws almost no helpful conclusions, she has plenty of thoughts. This episode also contains snorkels aplenty in between stories about A&F and modeling, from 90s commercial jingles, to Barbies, Kate’s own issues with body image, orange juice conspiracies, and more! There may be a Babysitter’s Club detour? Perhaps not a ‘model’ episode, but a fun one nonetheless. Enjoy! And head to patreon.com/bethereinfive later this week for the cut footage and extra stories.
