Tabloid stories are not just guilty pleasures, they are revelatory ones, pushed into the center of our gossip and conversation because they are electrified by the tripwires of culture, class, celebrity, and politics. Each season of the Tabloid podcast from New York Magazine will tackle a flashy tabloid tale, researching it to the hilt and revealing whole new depths of intrigue—and drama.
Season one, hosted by Vanessa Grigoriadis, is “The Making of Ivanka Trump” — a full-life inquiry into the evolution of Ivanka, from the child of a very public 1980s divorce to the teenage party girl and her trophy-collecting father’s very favorite trophy. From the very beginning of Donald’s presidential campaign, Ivanka has been a mesmerizing, inscrutable, maddening enigma, but those people who grew up in New York in the same world, like Vanessa, know exactly where she came from—the pages of the city’s tabloids. For this in-depth investigation Grigoriadis interviews Ivanka’s mother, Ivana Trump, writer Bob Colacello, Vanity Fair’s Emily Jane Fox, Vogue and New York contributing writer Jonathan Van Meter, former Donald Trump attorney Jay Goldberg and many other insiders.
Tabloid host Grigoriadis is the winner of a National Magazine Award and the author of the 2017 bestselling book, Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power, and Consent on Campus.
Tabloid will debut exclusively on Luminary on August 5th and the first season will run for eight episodes complete with two bonus episodes, chronicling the story of Ivanka Trump and the role the tabloids played in shaping her.
