![]() ![]() Power and money was given to the wrong, oh so predictable archetypes and they wreaked white male mediocrity accordingly- Starlee Kine February 17, 2021Īnd to be clear I’m not conflating what happened to me with what and went through. I’ve been telling you guys is toxic for a long time. ![]() It’s apparent that, contrary to the public explanation, “business reasons” were not behind the original decision to cancel the podcast. In the wake of allegations of more recent workplace toxicity, Starlee Kine - who is now a writer on HBO Max’s Search Party - has been discussing her experiences Gimlet. The podcast itself is currently on pause.Īll of this brings us back to The Mystery Show. After its problems surfaced, Reply All co-host PJ Vogt and senior reporter, Sruthi Pinnamaneni, resigned from the podcast, which also opted not to continue with its series on Bon Appétit. In seeking to explore what went wrong with the culture at Bon Appétit, Reply All inadvertently surfaced deep-seated problems with its own workplace culture. More recently, Gimlet Media has come under fire because of the toxic environment behind the scenes at another once-great podcast, Reply All. Its cancelation, therefore, never sat particularly well with Gimlet listeners. Mystery Show seemed liked the kind of podcast one would build their network around. The Mystery Show may not have been a huge moneymaker for Gimlet - although, it was hugely popular and incredibly beloved - but in terms of branding and goodwill, Kine’s podcast was a lot more valuable than advertising revenue, especially for a growing podcast network backed by venture capital. What I can tell you is that I’m really really sad, and that I wish Starlee all the best.”īlumberg’s decision to keep the reasons for the cancelation of The Mystery Show private never jibed well with Gimlet’s original business-related explanation. By the same token, Alex Blumberg, the head of Gimlet Meda, also stated on his podcast, StartUp - a podcast devoted to the business of creating a podcast network - that, “On this podcast we are transparent about a lot of things, but there are certain things which simply need to remain private. Their statement basically boiled down to vague business reasons - it was an expensive podcast to produce, there weren’t that many episodes, and it was too amorphous and unpredictable to budget for. Kine, who had been slowly developing the second season, was given no notice, and after she released her statement confirming the cancellation, Gimlet released its own statement, as well. Unfortunately, after its first six-episode season, the podcast was canceled. Mystery Show was, and probably remains, my favorite podcast ever. ![]() Kine devoted each episode to solving mysteries that could not otherwise be solved using the Internet, mysteries like, “What did Britney Spears think of a particular book she has once photographed carrying?” or “ How tall is Jake Gyllenhaal?” Please note comments are moderated before publication.In 2015, before podcast listenership had really exploded, Gimlet Media debuted a new podcast from Starlee Kine - best known then for her work on This American Life (including the greatest This American Life episode ever) - called Mystery Show.

Meanwhile, Fineman discusses meeting the Fox News correspondent who serves as the inspiration for her character in real life, her explosive onscreen chemistry with John Early, and what it was like walking around Murray Hill with hair extensions and a spray tan. “They’ve all walked into the world exposed,” explains show writer Starlee Kine, “so we’re seeing the psyche behind the outward appearance that Search Party has peeled back.” On this episode of the podcast, Kine, host Bowen Yang, and SNL player Chloe Fineman discuss the similarities between Dory and Fineman’s bombastic character Charlie Reeny when it comes to the different - and sometimes dangerous - ways in which they express their respective rage. Search Party’s main characters spend plenty of time experiencing or invoking fear and rage -and that’s by design. HBO Max published this video item, entitled “Chloe Fineman & Starlee Kine in “Fear and Rage” | Search Party: The Podcast | HBO Max” – below is their description. ![]()
