The Kardashians. Whether you're into them or not, one thing is
true: You can't avoid them. When they're not releasing new episodes
of their long-running reality TV show, they're making headlines
about Halloween costume reveals or ex-husbands who go on
anti-Semitic rants. Because somehow, over the past decade, the
Kardashian family went from Hollywood D-listers to American
institution.

Host Brittany Luse unpacks that journey with MJ Corey, known by her
social handle Kardashian Kolloquium. Corey, who also runs a
newsletter where she applies media theory to the Kardashians'
antics, breaks down their rise to the heights of American society
and power – and how they got there using beauty, traditional
milestones and a media playbook that might look similar to another
first family.
