Under the Influence With Jo Piazza

Whether you’re addicted to Instagram or abstain from the platform entirely, there’s a lot to love—and consider—about Under the Influence with Jo Piazza, a new podcast that tackles both the business and the pleasure of the endless scroll, in which those filtered professionals who have managed to monetize their lives as mothers do their damnedest to sell other mothers things they don’t really need. Along the way, we learn about the closeted Mormons in our feeds, the trials of earning a living the old-fashioned way, and even a bit about Digital Age feminist theory.
