Grind Harder with Jon Caramanica

This week’s interview with Jon Caramanica is a marathon we’re sprinting all the way through. Jon, our old pal and The New York Times pop music critic, finally made his highly-anticipated TF debut to go deep on sober drink champs, voice activated plausible deniability, Virgil LV grails, vamp hours, screen time, new music discovery on TikTok, vintage shopping across this great nation, big soda talk, misunderstanding the critical mind, what’s up with his Kanye book and some recent necessary rethinking and pivoting, Ye drip check 2K23, an off the cuff and unprepared peek into his best music of the year, getting vertigo in the Las Vegas Sphere, where music is headed next year, how Popcast Deluxe is going, numbies going dumbski at Fanelli, advice from Throwing Fits Creative Agency LLC, snack recon, the best and worst things about podding with his bestie and friend of the show Joe Coscarelli, when will the Critical Shopper return plus some shopping memories, is NYC retail so back, spending 2 years imbedded in the ALD trenches, menswear thought leaders, ethics preventing becoming boys with your subjects and even just getting a free meal, his new One Step Ahead column and its inaugural subject Been Slackin, personal style going deeper not wider, an impromptu rundown of his shopping list, how hoarding and taking risks changes with age, the jawnz he’ll never part with Throwing Fits Friends & Family Bazaar be damned, 100 T-shirt rotations, his wild ‘90s grooming or lack thereof phase, an extremely sincere conversation on dating and making friends as an adult, why he’s not abusing his privilege of commenting on Drake’s IG, making less money than us and much more on this instant classic episode of The Only Podcast That Matters™.
