Margo star Katie Miller’s new podcast “Toxic Femininity”. I listened, so you don’t have to | Arwa Mahdawi

wDid Ant listen to a cute little story about JD Vance and Dutch babies? Don’t worry, he was not deported, he cooked a breakfast. He then sat down with Katie Miller and introduced her to his baking tips on the first episode of the brand new podcast. By the way, I’ve listened heroically to all 44 incredible minutes so you don’t have to.

Miller is a beginner, a magazine, a magazine, married Stephen Miller, Donald TrumpThe Chief of Staff on the far right and a so abominable uncle once wrote an article calling him “hypocrite”.

Miller is a Trump loyalist, linked to the abominable man: She has worked in top communications during Trump’s first term and became a spokesperson for Elon Musk’s pet program earlier this year, the so-called “Doge”.

In May, she absconded Mysterious character In Musk’s private business. I think she was attracted by Musk’s view on freedom of speech (summary: I can say what I like, but you can’t) because when Miller was reportedly in college, she once stole and threw away the student newspaper because she didn’t like that Their politicians recognized.

Now, she launches Katie Miller Podcastits first episode was released on Monday. Why jump from the highest echelon of government to the podcast? According to Miller It’s because “As a mom of three, he eats well, goes to the gym, works full time, and I know there is no podcast for women like me”.

In a promotional video, she sat in an armchair (wearing shoes!) in front of the bookshelf, with three books, including Great Gatsby and killing a mocking bird, she explained, “conservative women don’t have a place to gather online” and wanted to create a “real honest conversation” to understand what’s important to women.

Obviously, what matters to women is the life of Vice President Vance: The first 44-minute episode, I suggest her rename it A brief interview with a terrible mandedicated to discussing a man with a man explain When a career woman prioritizes her career over a child, “choose the path to pain.”

Miller is not the natural owner, and he awkwardly raises softball questions (“Is it a hot dog or a sandwich?”), while Vance drone is about what he is great dad and vice president, as well as his love of ice cream and jokes with Marco Rubio. The closest they came to a controversial topic was that Vance talked about all the memes he was inspired and said that one of his favorites was the Pope, Usha Vance and Couch. (There are jokes online that Vance is Intimate sofa Then he Kill the Pope. Cancel.

Aside from memes, the most memorable moment in the episode is when Miller seems to suggest that her husband relies entirely on the mayonnaise diet, like some kind of anemia vampire. Stephen Miller, apparently, was running around his house in his shoes, like JD. Wisely, Usha took off her shoes at the front door. All of this is what I’m sure the busy mom is desperately needed.

Miller said she thinks there is a gap in podcasts targeting conservative women in the market, but so is the market. Young women in the United States Inclined to progressthere is a prosperous one”Women’s Circle“Anti-feminist media targeting conservatives. Some of them don’t cater to young conservative moms as clearly as the Katie Miller podcast says, but they’re still targeting the same general population.

Generation Z Commentator Brett Cooperfor example, people with 1.6 million YouTube subscribers look at Popular Culture The right-wing lean and her performance attracted a conservative female audience. Cooper meets Justin Bieber in between, who believes the goal of feminism is to “make men angry and rule them,” a worldview that has been staged recently on Fox News. Then there is Candace Owens, a conservative conspiracy theorist Epstein Documents A crushing defeat. Owens has 4.57 million Subscribers on YouTube Her streams gained millions of views. Barri Weiss also has a successful podcast that is currently negotiating to sell her “anti-strike” media startup to CBS News for more than $200 million. Financial Times Recent reports: “Weis won [CBS owner David Ellison] Partly by taking a pro-Israel standpoint…and her ability to build a young, digital audience. ”

And then, of course, you have all Trend to “trade” content On Tiktok, e.g. Esty Williams and Milk mom Glorious traditional gender roles. In addition to the Trade Corner, there is an ecosystem of lifestyle content designed to disguise the right-wing message. Thinking: Makeup tutorial, a continuous comment on how feminism will make you painful. Canadian media global news recently received Depend on The Canadian Centre for Comprehensive Threat Assessment warns women that “extremist influencers” are using popular online platforms to radicalize and recruit women.

“A series of open source studies show that women in extremist communities play an active role by creating content specifically on image-based platforms with live streaming capabilities,” the report said. “These women cultivate a sense of community and create spaces to relax their followers, thus normalizing and mainstreaming the corrections of extremism.”

While Miller’s podcast may not be entirely revolutionary, it also reminds Republicans that they are working much better in spreading their conversational perspectives into new media than Democrats. Of course, Katie Miller’s podcast isn’t an “official” White House podcast, but the humanized interview with Vance and Miller’s Deep Maga suggests that it’s approved by Trump. In an interview Washington Post Miller, published Tuesday, also suggested that her podcast was a 2028 voter recruitment campaign. “To cultivate the future of Maga, we have to talk to women,” she said.

As Republicans expand further into the world of podcasts and Tiktok, Democrats are still Try your best jump Crooked Memes to engage young audiences while writing long-term policy documents around to understand how they spend millions of dollars in manufacturing.Joe Rogan”. Katie Miller’s podcast may not be hit, but that’s just a small part of a very effective Republican messaging strategy.

Of course, the really important question here – I’m sure the question you’re thinking about right now – does Veep think hotdogs are sandwiches? The answer is: absolutely not. Coincidentally, this is also my answer to the question: Will you volunteer to listen to the Katie Miller podcast again?
