STARGIRL is a mythology I created to make sense of things. It’s a show about girls who stand out, but it's also a way of understanding the world through patterns, both externally (through the type of women who reign over public life), and internally (in how we deploy our own forces of projection). It’s a call to get into your body and follow your intuition—to explore your admiration and judgment of the Stargirls, and let that be a guiding light. By @emmaglennbaker

August Letter: On Ballerina Farm [TEASER]

[*Full episode on Patreon*] (https://www.patreon.com/STARGIRLpod) This month, we rehash the recently upwelled Ballerina Farm discourse, and I talk about what she represents to me: not a “trad wife” (outdated, meaningless term), not a hard-headed business woman, but a secret third thing. Discussed: [“Meet the queen of the ‘trad wives’ (and her eight children)”] (https://www.thetimes.com/magazines/the-sunday-times-magazine/article/meet-the-queen-of-the-trad-wives-and-her-eight-children-plfr50cgk) Megan Agnew in the Times [“My day with the trad wife queen and what it taught me”] (https://www.thetimes.com/world/us-world/article/my-day-with-the-trad-wife-queen-and-what-i-really-thought-of-her-qmbmmhkp8) Follow-up article by Megan Agnew Inspired / ridiculous TikTok edits of Hannah dancing on the prairie: [here,] (https://www.tiktok.com/@porcelain_12/video/7395762382380797191?_t=8obEWD228uE&_r=1) [here,] (https://www.tiktok.com/@dancingonafarm/video/7396314426447514910?_t=8obET7hnHYZ&_r=1) [here] (https://www.tiktok.com/@soerxxx/video/7396483294130474286?_t=8obEPlk5yD0&_r=1) [Egg apron video] (https://www.tiktok.com/@the.original.videos/video/7395798464757566762?_t=8obEOJ4461K&_r=1) Hannah’s response: [IG Reel] (https://www.instagram.com/p/C-GeBacSJx2/) and [full statement] (https://ballerinafarm.com/pages/about-us) Christian influencers we been watching: [Cecily Bachmann] (https://www.tiktok.com/@cecilybauchmann?lang=en) , [Josie Conely] (https://www.tiktok.com/@josieconely?_t=8obEIOP75kQ&_r=1) , [Lunden & Olivia] (https://www.tiktok.com/@lundenandolivia?_t=8obEEvTBVeg&_r=1) on TikTok ...

In this episode of The Body Series, Eloise explains the principles of existential therapy, how she’s built a life that combines her many varied interests (law, spirituality, therapy, fitness, dance, modeling, etc.), how our fundamental sense of trust in the world reflects our sense of safety in our bodies, and what Eloise calls "the pursuit of aliveness."

Show notes: This week, I’m joined by Holly Friend, a writer and trend forecaster based in London. We delve into the perverted world of Ottessa Moshfegh, one of the most commercially successful fiction writers of the last 10 years. We discuss how she unwittingly predicted / defined a cultural moment with My Year of Rest and Relaxation, her apparent obsession with self-mastery and anti-victimhood, unique sobriety narrative, and how her gross, sensory world compares to Sally Rooney’s romantic, cerebral one. [Holly Friend] (https://www.hollyfriend.com/)  is a writer and futurist based in London. She makes sense of the world through identifying trends and narratives, which does as a freeland cultural strategist for brands, and as a fiction writer.

Episode 47: Elizabeth Taylor

*Announcements!  The first STARGIRL in-person event is happening! Details will be announced on my Instagram first @emmaglennbaker — can’t wait to share more and see you there!* In this week’s episode, I introduce a brand new segment to the public: STARGIRL Rants and Raves! I welcome all listeners to send in a Rant or Rave on a Stargirl, person/persona you fixate on, or cultural event/moment that you love or hate. This first round was open to Patrons only, and we listen to my favorite three submissions here today! Here’s how it works: Record a 0:30 - 2:00 minute-long voice note Email the audio file to me at [stargirldirect@gmail.com] (mailto:stargirldirect@gmail.com) Subject line should read “Rant / Rave” on [your subject]” In the email, please not e how you’d like to be attributed (full name, first name only, IG handle, etc.) Show notes: This week we tackle a classic Stargirl: Dame Elizabeth Taylor. I talk about the many elements of her myth that I somehow inherited—her violet eyes, “married eight times to seven men,” her health issues, etc. I decide that although Liz Taylor is indeed beautiful, prolific, and messy, her real singularity lies in her Sturdiness: She is womanly, down-to-earth, and robust. We also discuss Camille Paglia’s incredible fixation on Liz, and leaf through Liz’s memoir/self-help/recipe book about her own weight gain and loss, Elizabeth Takes Off. Plus, I finally acknowledge the Chappell Roan phenomenon, praise Addison for her underwater Dhanurasana, and challenge myself to discuss the election head-on, rather than roll my eyes and look away. We got this y’all! Discussed: [“Sabrina, Chappell, and Charli are suddenly stars. Why now?”] (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2024-06-25/sabrina-carpenter-charli-xcx-chappell-roan-sudden-pop-stars)  Mikael Wood in the LA times  [Azaelia Banks on Chappell Roan] (https://x.com/CHEAPYXOMIAMI/status/1804530921300754444) [Addison’s underwater amazingness] (https://www.instagram.com/p/C9A61-kSn9P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) [“Love of Country and Aloha Spirit with Tulsi Gabbard,”] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrI7XsbSdzs)  Jocko Podcast [Excerpt from “Elizabeth Taylor: Hollywood’s Pagan Queen,”] (https://www.sheilaomalley.com/?p=113385)  Camille Paglia, originally published in Penthouse magazine (1992) [Interview with Paglia on Liz Taylor] (https://www.salon.com/2011/03/24/camille_paglia_on_elizabeth_taylor/) , Salon (2011) [Elizabeth Takes Off: On Weight Gain, Weight Loss, Self-Image, and Self-Esteem] (https://www.amazon.com/Elizabeth-Takes-Off-Taylor/dp/0399132694) , Elizabeth Taylor (1987) ...

Episode 46: The Body Series with Sloane Elizabeth [LONG TEASER]

[*Full episode on Patreon!*] (patreon.com/STARGIRLpod) In this episode of The Body Series, I interview [Sloane Elizabeth] (http://www.instagram.com/sloaneelizabeth) , a food freedom coach and the founder of the Food Freedom Collective. She is a holistic wellness expert who helps women eat, move, and live with Love & Intuition and empowers women to stop dieting, obsessing, restricting, and playing small so that they can experience food and life freedom. She uses a unique and powerful combination of science and spirituality to help her clients heal and live their dream lives. Sloane is also a published author and has been featured on Food Network, The Doctors, SHAPE, Betches, and Authority Magazine. We discuss how intuitive eating is a result of healing (not something you do or perform), how restricting and overeating both stem from the same root wounds, and how Sloane navigates the saturated and highly charged online space around diet, weight gain and loss, and body image. [Check out Sloane’s website] (https://www.sloane-elizabeth.com/) [Download this free resource from Sloane on Masterclass] (https://masterclass.sloane-elizabeth.com/mini-course-registration-o/) Mentioned: [STARGIRL profile in Coveteur] (https://coveteur.com/emma-glenn-baker-stargirl-podcast) by Katy Kelleher [Sign up to take a free online yoga class with me in July!] (https://www.we-onair.com/events) [SKIMS for Team USA] (https://skims.com/collections/skims-for-team-usa) ...

Episode 45: Beyoncé Part II with Shaan Sachdev [TEASER]

[*Full episode on Patreon!* ] (https://www.patreon.com/STARGIRLpod) Welcome to Part II of my conversation with my friend and the writer Shaan Sachdev. In this episode, we tackle Beyoncé as a Stargirl: how she handles controversy, deploys narrative control, and the Dream / Threat she represents. We discuss who she offends, and in which ways the jury is still out on her morality, despite her not being an edge-seeker in her personal life. We also wonder about what a Beyoncé successor would even look like, and worry about the decline of performance value in the singer-dancers of today. Plus, a very special announcement for our Patreon community!

Episode 44: Beyoncé Part I with Shaan Sachdev

Welcome to Part 1 of our Beyoncé special, with my friend and the Beyoncé evangelist Shaan Sachdev! This week, we take it all the way back to Wayne Koestenbaum’s 1993 book The Queen’s Throat, the seminal text on the Diva, fandom, and Vicariousness. We discuss the border between true Divadom and generalized cuntiness, and use Shaan’s recent piece in the Wall Street Journal to discuss Beyoncé’s supreme athleticism and what it means, then, to watch her age. Shaan Sachdev is a cultural critic and essayist based in New York. He writes about ontology, city life, and his two favorite Divas: Hannah Arendt and Beyoncé. He co-hosts Diva Discourse, a Beyoncé-centered podcast. Discussed: Tinx’s podcast episode on weightlifting Alix Earle for Sports Illustrated Swim Kim Kardashian and Chloe Sevigny for Variety The Queen’s Throat: Homosexuality, Opera, and the Mystery of Desire, Wayne Koestenbaum (1993) “Beyoncé the Athlete Is Adjusting to Midlife” Shaan in WSJ “The Key to Beyoncé’s Lasting Success” Shaan in Slate “Beyoncé Is Finally Embracing Her Role as Fairy Godmother to the Gays” Shaan in The Daily Beast“Taylor Swift’s Invisible Merchandise” Shaan in Salon ...

Episode 41: Paige Bueckers with Nell Baker

Helloooo!!! Today we’re tackling the phenomenon of Paige Bueckers, college basketball star who has captured the nation’s attention with her skill, swag, and heart of gold. I talk about her TikTok explosion, the sexuality that’s projected onto her, and how her wholesome silly vibe makes me excited to be alive. Then, we’ll hear from my little sister Nelly, a D1 runner who fills us in on all things NIL sponsorships, injury and recovery narratives, and the way Paige carries herself as a fun and faithful team leader. We also discuss the dynamic among the other top NCAA women's basketball players—Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, etc.—and Paige’s choice to not declare for the 2024 WNBA draft.
