High Low with EmRata
EmRata / Sony Music Entertainment
Hi, I’m EmRata, aka Emily Ratajkowski. Maybe you know me from my work as an actress or model, or maybe you’ve read my bestselling book, My Body. I’m interested in marrying everything high and low-brow by talking about pop culture and happenings that may seem frivolous in a way that raises big questions.
On this podcast, I’ll be talking about everything from politics, philosophy, and feminism to sex, TikTok, and relationships. Every Tuesday, I’ll host intimate conversations with special guests, including celebs, incredible authors, close friends, and people I admire. In the week’s second episode, I’ll talk about whatever’s happening in the world and what it’s making me think about, including anecdotes, personal opinions, and, ideally, some thought-provoking questions. Finally, you can subscribe to a third exclusive episode each week where you get to be part of the show. I’ll go through your comments and answer your DMs.
My hope is that this series will be a place where you can come to have fun and take part in thoughtful discourse.

Is Attachment Theory Effective? EmRata Asks
Attachment theory has become incredibly popular in the last 5 years: not only for therapists and people working in psychotherapy, but also for individuals who hope to better understand their behavior and needs in close relationships. Today I explain the history of attachment theory and its rise to prominence in recent years before breaking down the 4 styles of attachment. Then I get into my personal experience with therapy and talk a little bit about confirmation bias and the other ways we attempt to understand ourselves and the ones we love.

Ethical Non-Monogamy?: EmRata Asks
In her essay "Scenes from an Open Marriage" Jean Garnett asks her husband "’Which scenario endangers us more: you sleeping with other women, or you not sleeping with other woman?’” Partnership and commitment is difficult and inherently risky—so what about opening up a relationship? Today on the pod I explore ethical non-monogamy. I examine Garnett's essay as it relates to a friend, B, who has practiced ENM and then I'm joined on the phone by another friend. We discuss The Ethical Slut, love, individualism and how to connect to your desires and advocate for your own needs in a relationship.

Going Viral Without Consent? EmRata Asks
Screaming Karens. Police brutality. Creepy stalkers. We all carry around a weapon to catch these wrongdoings on camera: our iPhones. But this pervasive surveillance in our culture also means any of us can be filmed at any time without our consent. So what are the ethics of taping others on your iPhone? I break down the pros and cons of recording strangers in public. Then I’m joined by my lawyer Ellie Heisler to discuss the law’s response (or lack of thereof) to these issues.
