WHAT: Premiering today, “Sixteenth Minute (of Fame)” is a weekly show hosted by Jamie Loftus that takes a closer look at the internet’s main characters – one part reported, one part interviews and one part Loftus collapsing her permanently internet-damaged brain. Whether it’s an enduring meme or a dreaded Character of the Day distinction, it’s the kind of notoriety that often results in little money, unwarranted attention and a confusing blurred line of consent. This new podcast from iHeartMedia’s Cool Zone Media will dive deep into viral internet culture and explore the question: “What do you do when you get more attention and judgment than any one person is built to handle?” Listeners will tune-in to “Sixteenth Minute (of Fame)” each week to hear what “viral” really feels like from the people who have been frozen inside an often unintended sensational internet moment.
WHEN: Listen to “Sixteenth Minute (of Fame)” today, May 7,2024 with new episodes every Tuesday.
WHERE: “Sixteenth Minute (of Fame)” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and available now on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
WHO: Jamie Loftus is the Emmy-nominated, Webby-winning comedian and podcaster behind shows like “The Bechdel Cast,” “My Year in Mensa,” “Lolita Podcast,” and “Ghost Church.” Her debut book “Raw Dog: A Naked History of Hot Dogs” was a New York Times and Indie bestseller, and she most recently served as a writer and co-producer on “Star Trek: Lower Decks” and “Teenage Euthanasia.” She has one baby tooth left for some reason.
