DeAnne Smith's "Questionable at Best" Asks Stef About J Woww (And Her Personal Brand)

Carmen’s Team Pick:

Remember the super intriguing podcast Questionable at Best by DeAnne Smith? I mean, you probably couldn’t forget it even if you tried, even if you wanted to, because it’s JUST. THAT. GOOD. In the latest episode, DeAnne talks to Autostraddle Music Editor Stef, who is the worst, about what she puts on social media, why she loves J Woww, and how she discovered t.A.t.U before everyone else.

DeAnne’s interview with Stef ranges in topics from talking shit about the people you went to high school with to truly exploring the depths of Stef’s interest in reality television. Along the way, Stef and DeAnne both learn to articulate their personal brands and probably grow as people.

Did you know some people make entire Facebook albums about their adventures at Applebee’s? Did you know DeAnne can summarize her own personal brand using three words: “dirty but nerdy?” Did you know Stef might be wearing human teeth jewelry right now? WELL GET READY TO FIND OUT WHY.

Probably you should listen to the latest QAB as soon as possible. I’m really glad I did it, ’cause now it’s part of who I am.
