200: The Pull of Pop Culture with Emily Rose

For all of social media’s ills, there’s an equal amount of things to love.

When I think of Emily Rose, I think of a light, fun, intellectual, critically thinking millennial who has deservedly exploded on TikTok. Not only that, she also has a wildly popular podcast called It’s Become a Whole Thing, and a book deal with Simon and Schuster!

As a social media influencer speaking on behalf of the hoi polloi, Emily is as much a crisis communicator as I am, and today she and I are diving into the world of Bennifer, Taylor Swift’s private jet story, what you need to know about Vanderpump Rules, and our differing opinions on Will Smith’s future. If pop culture is your “Superbowl,” trust me when I say you don’t want to miss this one!

Key Points From This Episode:

• What led Emily to the world of social media as a career path.

• Emily shares the evolution of her journey as a social media influencer.

• The (very exciting) book Emily will release next year. 

• How to use Patreon.

• No Reddit?

•  Bennifer’s public relationship; the focus of one of Emily’s first viral videos.

• The Vanderpump Rules symposium Emily created.

• What you need to know about Vanderpump Rules.
