About this listen

From the Nora Ephron and Eve Babitz of looking at their phones a lot: criticism and analysis for the algorithmically optimized era. Spanning the majorly trivial to the dubiously significant, The Observation Deck is a podcast about internet and popular culture hosted by Rosa Addario and Saskia Kowalchuk. Produced by Nelson Graves.

    12 year olds buying luxury anti-aging serums, 30$ lip treatments as far as the eye can see, and the most overstimulating shopping experience known to man: Sephora has us in a grasp.
