I'm Willa Paskin, the host of Decodering, Slate's podcast about cracking cultural mysteries.
Our latest season features a whole new set of questions.
Like, is the shopping mall really dying?
One of the most famous architects in the world is designing a mall, so what's up with that?
And how did a poet who sold millions of books and records 50 years ago come to be completely forgotten?
The poems are so boring and so bad.
They're just so bad.
And what does a century-old Broadway scandal involving May West have to tell us about the creation of celebrity?
Young lady, are you trying to show contempt for this court?
No, I'm doing my best to hide it.
You'll hear these stories and more on the new season of Decodering, and you can find Decodering wherever you listen to podcasts.
