Description
<p dir="ltr">The Kardashians are one of the most famous families of our modern era. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Since their hit reality TV show first debuted in 2007, the family has become synonymous with American culture. Their celebrity has only grown with each new beauty and fashion enterprise. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Author MJ Corey analyzes the family’s staying power in her new book <em><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/741643/dekonstructing-the-kardashians-by-mj-corey/">Dekonstructing the Kardashians: A New Media Manifesto</a></em>. She talks to Sam about how the family built their media empire, how Kim Kardashian normalized selling her own image and what it says about our digital age, and how the family mirrors our deepest fears. </p>
