 ''Stiffed'' |
iHeartPodcasts, in a first-ever partnership with Crooked Media, launches "Stiffed" -- an eight-part documentary series that follows the story of series that tells the story of VIVA, an erotic magazine for women created by Bob Guccione (founder of the men's magazine Penthouse). VIVA was staffed by female writers and editors and featured full-frontal male nudes, writing by feminist icons like Betty Friedan and profiles of literary legends like Maya Angelou.
The magazine's cover stars included Bianca Jagger and Shelley Duvall. Anna Wintour was even VIVA's fashion editor at one point. But what is originally conceived as a high-end, progressive, sexual utopia for women... doesn't quite turn out that way.
Jennifer Romolini, an award-winning writer, editor, and author of "Weird in a World That's Not: A Career Guide for Misfits" and a longtime media executive, is the host of "Stiffed," and co-host of the "Everything is Fine" podcast with former Lucky Magazine editor-in-chief, Kim France. She started her career as a magazine fact checker working at Talk, Lucky, Glamour, Cosmo and Allure.
"Stiffed" premiered Thursday, March 30, with new episodes releasing weekly.
