Episode 222: The Most Overhyped People and Things of 2024
Description
This week, Jeanne Malle reveals the winners and losers of Air Mail’s 2024 Over-Under List, wherein we present the year’s most overhyped (and underhyped) people and things. Then, on the subject of well-deserved hype, Alex Belth reports on a magazine from the 1970s called New Times. It’s long forgotten, unfortunately, but Alex tells us how this short-lived publication’s impact endures in today’s media landscape. And finally, lots of people claim they can reform education in America, most recently Donald Trump. William D. Cohan joins us from New York with the cautionary tale of Chris Whittle, the charter-school entrepreneur who went from being one of the most acclaimed operators in the education sphere to losing everything. Can he make a comeback?
