Lil Dicky's "Non-Podcast" Blurs Media Lines
24 Feb
Summary
- Lil Dicky's new show is a multimedia experience, not just audio.
- Kristin Batalucco makes her public debut alongside her husband.
- The show features celebrity guests in candid, unscripted conversations.
Dave Burd, known as Lil Dicky, has launched "Friends Keep Secrets," a multimedia project with his wife Kristin Batalucco and close friend Benny Blanco. They deliberately avoid calling it just a "podcast," emphasizing its expanded format which includes numerous cameras capturing unscripted interactions in their home. This new venture marks Kristin Batalucco's public debut, as she steps out from her background in advertising and production.
The show features a rotating cast of high-profile guests, including Ed Sheeran and Gwyneth Paltrow, engaging in wide-ranging discussions. Burd expressed a desire to create content that feels authentic and entertaining, akin to his early days of making friends laugh. Benny Blanco highlighted the eclectic nature of their guests and conversations, aiming to offer a refreshing alternative to more conventional media.
Batalucco, who has historically been camera-shy, sees this as an exercise in letting go and embracing authenticity. The project, produced with Jay Shetty's Perfect Strangers network, is available across major platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. The trio hopes "Friends Keep Secrets" will not only entertain but also influence culture by setting a new standard for multimedia content.
