Episode Details

This week Jeremy looks at America’s favorite pastime of staging a glossy reassurance ritual that the old prosperity myth is still alive! Three cheers for late stage capitalism celebrating itself! Corporate ads sell nostalgia, AI hype, and body shaming drugs, while the halftime show keeps breaking through with culture that actually feels real. The result is a hollow spectacle that owns the stage but can’t quite control the meaning, and the cracks in this gilded age are getting harder to hide.

As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com
