单集文稿 ...

  • This is The Guardian, Gaudam, BuzzFeed News, Vice.

  • Why are so many publications in trouble?

  • Here at Gaudam, we're committed to sharing the perspectives of women and non binary people of color.

  • If you're still putting regular white cocaine up your nose, you're basically living in the 90s.

  • And if you work for BuzzFeed News, here are 22 reasons you're going to.

  • Be down to job.

  • You're listening to Pop Culture with me, Shantae Joseph for the Guardian.

  • Now listen, I have been waking up in a cold sweat every morning, afraid to check Twitter in case another publication I love is going under.

  • We've seen the closure of Gam, buzzfeed News, full editorial layoffs at Paper magazine, potential bankruptcy advice.

  • Need I go on?

  • I've been writing since I was like 17 and I owe so much of who I am and what I do to these publications.

  • It's also where I found my love for pop culture, why I'm hosting this podcast.

  • And it's from places like Gaudam, where I'd find out about new black and brown artists.

  • On buzzfeed, I'd read the best celeb interviews and insights.

  • And Vice has always been ahead of the curve on topics like club culture, drugs and music.

  • These are things many bigger publications just can't offer.

  • I remember being at the BBC and being asked to write an article about a duck in a wheelchair.

  • I totally want to know about the duck in a wheelchair.

  • Why am I writing an article about a duck in a wheelchair?

  • That's from a viral video.
