On the latest Decoder Ring podcast: Are monkeys susceptible to celebrity endorsements?
Decoder Ring is a podcast about cracking cultural mysteries. Every episode, host Willa Paskin takes on a cultural question, object, idea, or habit and speaks with experts, historians, and obsessives to try and figure out where it comes from, what it means, and why it matters.
When we’re making a Decoder Ring episode, we sometimes get hooked on an idea before realizing that maybe it isn’t quite right. Earlier this year we did a number of interviews about fame for an episode that never came together, but looking back we found we’d done even more reporting on fame for other episodes.
