What Is Authenticity? – Episode 052

October 21, 2015

Is Anne Hathaway more “authentic” than Jennifer Lawrence? Do we have any way of knowing for sure? (And why do we care?) Why do we want our artists (and our politicians and everyone else with a Twitter account it seems) to be “authentic?” Brent and Erik tackle this question both as writers conscious of their own brands, and as media consumers.
