Jennifer Keishin Armstrong’s writing takes readers behind the scenes of major moments in pop culture history and examines the lasting impact that our favourite TV shows, music, and movies have on our society and psyches.

Armstrong spent ten years on staff at Entertainment Weekly, where she reported from the front lines of Grey’s Anatomy, 30 Rock, Lost, and The Office. Her writing has since appeared in BBC Culture, New York magazine, Billboard, and many other places. She curates and writes the Peabody Finds newsletter, featuring recommendations and media history, from the prestigious Peabody Awards in broadcasting. Her own newsletter, Culture Trip, explores the intersections between pop culture, spirituality, and politics. She lives with her partner in New York’s Hudson Valley.
