The Internet may be abuzz with the launch of Kardashian-Jenner apps (everyone had one except Kourtney, it seems), but if there’s one other thing you should be looking forward to downloading on your phone, it should be Vogue’s new podcast.
Hosted by André Leon Talley (but of course), and we have to say, he’s pitch-perfect as a podcast host. The first episode aired yesterday featuring—who else?—Anna Wintour as his first guest. In the 20-minute interview, they discussed a number of things.
On choosing Beyoncé as the first black female artist to appear on Vogue’s all-important September issue, Anna answers, “I think Beyoncé is every woman. She’s superwoman, she’s an extraordinary business woman, she’s a force of fashion. She totally understands the way to communicate to millions and millions of fans.”
On showing her support for Hillary Clinton, as she had for President Barack Obama when he was still running for POTUS, she offers, “One needs experience and Hillary Clinton has that in spades so of course I’m going to support her and of course, she’s going to win.”
And speaking of Presidents, she also had an opinion on Kanye’s bid for the 2020 Presidential elections: “If Mr. Trump can do as well as he’s doing, who knows what may happen? I adore Kanye, I think maybe he was just having fun.”
So what else should listeners look forward to in the next episodes?
It’s hard to tell, but André’s dream guests include Rihanna, Kanye West, and author Margo Jefferson. “We are anticipating wonderful, informal, and relaxed conversations,” he tells The Huffington Post. “We are looking forward to this as an interesting format for showcasing people that we celebrate, who are accomplished—home, food, style, fashion, personality, celebrities—we are open for every single thing.”
“I’ve been a longtime storyteller at Vogue and it’s just another format for telling stories—as at Vogue, we love to tell the story of style, fashion, and what is absolutely a part of the culture at the moment.”
