The sisters are back! Before season four of The Kardashians premiers next week, MJ and Marie are sitting down to discuss their new approach to this season; focusing on the Kardashian world as a whole, rather than recapping episode by episode.

MJ and Marie will also be discussing the importance of the strikes more widely in relation to the Kardashian universe. Catch up with season one of our brand new podcast series if you missed it! We've teamed up with the genius behind Kardashian Kolloquium, MJ Corey, and her sister Marie, to breakdown the world of The Kardashians week by week.We've also introduced a new membership tier for fans of the pod.

Here we are! The penultimate episode of Dispatches From the Kardashian simulacrum. MJ and Marie take us on a tour of cultural cohorts and whether or not we’re ever truly able to understand generations outside of our own. With the time between generations shortening and the differences widening will we ever share basic human realities again? Did we ever even share them in the first place?In an episode filled with storage units, archives and legacy the Kardashian sisters are finally on the subject they’ve been teasing all season. The body. We’re sensing the sisters have an eagerness to blame society, and an unwillingness to explore the fact that, the Kardashian's are society.  Hosted on Acast.

Episode 8 and the perfect time for our hosts to explore the age old Kardashian questions: Is it real or is it fake? Do they care or do they not care? What part of you stays the same and stays human when you have that much money and that much power?The sisters take us on a journey of balance, active consumption over passive consumption and explore the most anticipated Kardashian move yet . . . is there a Kardashian Christmas album on the horizon? With singing lessons and auto tune in full swing, whether you ‘hate listen or love listen’ you won’t be able to switch off from the micro scandals, fake tears and reality checks of this weeks episode.  Hosted on Acast.
