As the pandemic forced us to socialize at a distance, Kelsey McKinney was mourning the juicy updates and jaw-dropping stories she’d typically collect over drinks with friends—and from her hunger, the blockbuster Normal Gossip podcast was born. With listenership in the millions, Kelsey found herself thinking more critically about gossip as a form, and wanting to better understand the role it plays in our culture. In You Didn't Hear This From Me, McKinney explores the murkiness of everyday storytelling.

I'm a huge fan of Kelsey's podcast normal gossip so I knew I was going to love this book. What I was so pleasantly surprised by is that it wasn't just more gossip stories: it was a really in depth, thought provoking analysis of the role that gossip plays in every fact of our lives. She seamlessly brings together scientific research studies, history lessons, reality tv, and personal stories to elevate topics that are almost always dismissed as 'superficial'. If you're into sociology, modern feminist essays, pop culture, the bachelor, or just a curious, progressive person, I can't recommend enough. It was also a surprisingly healing book? There were several points at which her writing allowed me to unpack guilt or shame that I might feel about gossip or loving reality tv and tabloids. I know that I am going to be referencing this book constantly :)

A bride so desperate to get in shape for her wedding that she enrolls in a new kind of workout program that promises the moon but costs more than she bargained for. A snowman who, on the wish of a child, comes to life in a decidedly less savory way than in the childhood classic. And in the title story, a time-hopping 1940s starlet tries to claw her way to the top in modern-day Hollywood, despite being ridiculously unwoke.

Honestly shocked by how not funny this was. The first couple stories were just super lazy metaphors for women being vapid and image obsessed. I could have possibly overlooked the archaic cultural takes and stale 80s esque, overdramatized joke mechanisms and tone if the material wasn’t so misogynistic. Blegh. The narrators were good though.
