This week, we have gone super niche, covering a controversial episode of an obscure fashion podcast, The Cutting Room Floor, featuring a former fashion-blogger-turned-CEO, Leandra Medine aka Man Repeller. Meanwhile, a SoftBank-funded humanoid robot named Pepper is slacking on the job and getting fired all over Japan, but may nevertheless be called upon to represent the country at the Tokyo Olympics. Finally, we turn our attention to the worst song-video combination ever to hit No. 1: the Steve Miller Band’s 1982 abomination, “Abracadabra.”
