Marisa Meltzer on Glossier, Emily Weiss, and the Beauty Industry in the U.S.

We're back! Season eight will be a bit of this, a bit of that -- I'm calling it my potpourri season. We'll have some fiction picks, some yesteryear picks, but still keep to our ethos of bringing you the best current nonfiction picks, like today's episode. Marisa Meltzer has just released the book of the season three days ago, and it dives into the rise of the beauty brand Glossier, its mysterious founder Emily Weiss, and the beauty industry as a whole in the U.S. It is a must read, even if you're not historically interested in beauty. It's so good to be back with you for this scattered season, but we're here, and I am so happy! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.
