"'A podcast about the internet' that is actually an unfailingly original exploration of modern life and how to survive it." - The Guardian. Hosted by Alex Goldman and Emmanuel Dzotsi from Gimlet.

Gimlet

Emmanuel has a new show out, Big Lives, and we're excited to share a preview of it! Alongside acclaimed journalist Kai Wright, Emmanuel digs into the BBC archive to examine the sensational stories, messy feelings, and enlightening questions surrounding the icons who have shaped our culture. From musical trailblazers like David Bowie, Amy Winehouse and Tina Turner to stars of the screen like Richard Pryor, Meg Ryan and Jane Fonda, Emmanuel and Kai see these icons in a new light and learn how each legend set the stage for our contemporary cultural landscape. In this preview, they unspool the emotional arc behind George Michael, from teen heartthrob to grieving partner to gay icon. If you like what you hear, find Big Lives wherever you get podcasts.

Some news: Emmanuel and Alex will be stepping away from making the show. And this iteration of Reply All will be ending in late June.
This isn’t a decision that was made by any one person. Reply All has always been a super collaborative project which is what we’ve loved so much about making it. Ultimately, staff who have been working on this show for a long time – in some cases five, six, seven years at this point – are ready to pursue other things.
Making this show has been an incredible pleasure. Thank you all so much for listening.
We hope you join us for our remaining episodes, including our last one, on June 23rd.
