Three magazine articles, one cheesy appearance

I’ve published three stories recently:

  • In Pacific Standard‘s September/October issue, my in-depth look at how humor can help persuade people—through the lens of the truTV show Adam Ruins Everything.
  • In Vulture, I explored about what the departure of Project Runway host Heidi Klum and mentor Tim Gunn means for the show, and whether reality show hosts matter more than formats.
  • For Grub Street, I reported on Netflix’s entrance into Food Network’s space. Who will win the food reality TV wars?
  • I discussed the Food Network/Netflix article on Cheddar Live. Watch the segment here.
