Carrie CourogenEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Hi friends, happy Monday — Today, Allison and I talked to our friend, author and journalist Carrie Courogen, about our love for magazines. Carrie, with her fifteen-year editorial career at Condé Nast, shares with us the longing and the love for the art of magazines, but also adds to the conversation such an experienced insight of the editorial world that only someone who loves it like she does can provide. This episode, however, isn’t just about nostalgia. We discuss what happened, what has gone wrong (spoiler alert, it’s greed) and what are the possible scenarios the world of magazines faces in the present and near future. From Vanity Fair to The New York Review of Books, Sassy, Glamour, Seventeen, Sunset and Good Housekeeping, we share our stories, our favorite reads, what we loved about the advertising on a magazine (do you remember perfume samples?), and our creative hopes for the future of this beloved art form.

The sun's out and we're kicking off our Elaine in May series! The entire month is devoted to the female filmmaker and we're kicking things off with a look at her 1971 debut feature A New Leaf with May biographer Carrie Courogen. Courogen discusses May's foray into directing, the challenges of making her debut feature, and how it started to show the cracks that would see May exit Hollywood.

This week on Podcast Like It’s the 2000s, Phil and Emily continue their Christopher Guest 2000s miniseries with A Mighty Wind, joined by writer and author Carrie Courogen. They break down Guest’s uniquely gentle mockumentary style, the film’s satirical take on folk music culture, and why its characters feel both absurd and deeply human. Plus, a closer look at the performances, the emotional undercurrent beneath the comedy, and how A Mighty Wind fits within Guest’s larger body of work. Phil also provides context for listeners on the film’s premise following three folk groups reuniting for a tribute concert highlighting its blend of nostalgia, melancholy, and humor.

“People would leave me saying, ‘She’s a nice girl. What is this big thing about? She’s a nice girl.’ And the thing is, of course, I wasn’t a nice girl. And when they found this out, they hated me all the more.”—Elaine May, 2006 Elaine May is a game-changing director, writer, and actress that not enough people know about.
