Doree Shafrir is a co-host of the podcast Forever35, the former executive editor of Buzzfeed, and the author of the new memoir Thanks for Waiting: The Joy (& Weirdness) of Being a Late Bloomer.\u201dRight now I can make my living from podcasting, but I don\u2019t know what the advertising market for podcasts is going to look like in five years or even one year. The blog advertising market cratered. So one of the challenges of being my own \u2018brand\u2019 is that I always do have to think about, what is the next thing? Because in my experience in media, nothing is ever good for too long.\u201d\n\nThanks to\xa0Mailchimp\xa0and\xa0The London Review of Books for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n\nShow notes:\n@doree\ndoree-shafrir.com\nShafrir on Longform\n02:00\xa0Thanks for Waiting: The Joy (& Weirdness) of Being a Late Bloomer\xa0(Ballantine Books \u2022 2021)\n06:00\xa0"The Hipster Grifter"\xa0(New York Observer \u2022 Apr 2009)\n08:00\xa0Shafrir's\xa0New York Observer\xa0archive\n16:00\xa0"Chuck Klosterman, the Author Photos"\xa0(Slate \u2022 Aug 2006)\n24:00\xa0Startup\xa0(Little, Brown and Company \u2022 2017)\n36:00\xa0Shafrir's\xa0Buzzfeed\xa0archive\n36:00\xa0Rerun\xa0(Buzzfeed)\n36:00\xa0Matt and Doree\u2019s Eggcellent Adventure\xa0(Matt Mira and Doree Shafrir)\n37:00\xa0Forever35\xa0(Doree Shafrir and Kate Spencer)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
