Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette is the hottest show on the streaming networks. Carolyn Bessette — long a style favorite of the fashion set — has now entered today’s mainstream. Her life, similar to when she was alive, is being picked apart piece by piece.

You could say that people are obsessed. And that’s not a good thing.

Join host Liberty Imhoff on Episode 064 of The Manic Metallic Podcast as she discusses the following:

• The specific traits that people admire about Carolyn Bessette — and why you can achieve those for yourself
• What the people who say that they want to go back to the 90s are actually searching for
• How the obsession with living in a previous time period robs us of the ability to improve our current lives and those of our fellow citizens
• Why our society is made weaker by continually focusing on telling stories about the Kennedys — and what we should do instead
• And more

On Episode 62 of The Manic Metallic Podcast, host Liberty Imhoff is joined by her husband, architect Benjamin Imhoff, for a special Valentine’s Day Week episode in which they discuss the following:

• What interested Benjamin in architecture — and his advice for other aspiring architects
• The importance of becoming licensed if you choose to work in the field of architecture
• Donald Trump’s strange obsession with design — and whether it was wise to elect a developer as president of the United States
• Gentrification architecture: what it is, why it is reviled, and the alienation that exists throughout all levels of the creation process — from design conception to public perception
• Why the recent traditional architecture movement’s philosophy is anti-intellectual, and its right-wing populist leanings
• How both the hyperneoliberalist landscape and the lack of a cohesive design vision for society lie at the root of many of the architecture industry’s issues
• And more!
