Kim Kardashian: Family, Kanye, Skims, Paris, Larsa, Lewis Hamilton & Keeping Up (w/ Jonathan Van Meter)
“There’s no better feeling in the world than when someone gets you.” That is what Kim Kardashian said about Jonathan Van Meter who just finished a five year long deep dive book, “Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created The Future”, into the one and only Kim K. Along with Kim’s help, Jonathan chatted with the rest of the fam, Kim’s 6 lifers and more. We talk Kourtney, Khloe, Kris, Kylie, Kendall, Kanye, Skims, SNL, Paris Hilton, the Kardashian men and All’s Fair. Citizen Kim does not treat Kim Kardashian as a punchline, a scandal, or a flat symbol. It treats Kim as one of the defining figures of this century and asks, seriously, how she became possible and what her astonishing rise says about the world we now live in. Jonathan, as we like to say, mentions it all! @jonathanvanmeter @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com So You Can Be Sure To Get The Right Coverage For You) HULU’s THE MOB - (Watch The New Hulu Original Series The Mob Now Streaming On Hulu and Hulu On Disney Plus For Bundle Subscribers) AUDIBLE - audible.com/VELVET (New Members Start Listening w/ a 30 Day Free Trial This Massive Library Of Audiobooks & Ad-Free Podcasts) NATURES SUNSHINE - naturessunshine.com (Use Code Velvetrope For 20% Off Your First Order Plus Free Shipping On Clean, Natural Supplements For Cognitive Support, Healthy Skin & More) POM - pomwonderful.com (Check Out POM Wonderful Antioxidant Super Teas) TIMELINE- Timeline.com/VELVETROPE (Timeline Is Offering a 15 Day Trial Of The Mitopure Resurfacing Exfoliator For Just $22) REAL REAL - realreal.com/velvetrope ($25 Off Your First Purchase On The Most Trusted Name In Authenticated Luxury Resale) INDEED - indeed.com/PODCAST (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Job The Premium Status It Deserves) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
