Amber and Will are joined by author Catherine Liu to discuss her new book Virtue Hoarders: The Case Against the Professional Managerial Class. Amber takes us through her shopping guide of “PMC products” and we see what they can teach us about this class and its ideology.

i think this ep is basically an birdwatching guide to the PMC- attitudes, behaviors and quirks. AFAIK t's not taken as written that the PMC is even a existing class amongst many listeners, especially not in the socials i frequent, so it's worth reinterating that they are identifiable- in the same way that slicon velly androids are indifiable by their patagonia vests and subscription chinos and ability to step over the homeless.
This is definitely one of amber's "guys" tho , and this ep is having drunk girl bitching with her smart aunt and awkward room mate- which i enjoy.
Amber.
