Our Favorite Culture Stories of 2023As 2023 comes to a close, you've no-doubt been bombarded with year-end recaps and best-of lists looking back on pop cultural highlights from the past 365 days, whether they're albums, TV shows, books or movies — and we'd be remiss not to point you to our own coverage as well. Whether it was the final season of Succession or that excellent boygenius record, there was plenty to celebrate in 2023. But what about the stories behind the media we consume on a daily basis? Shouldn't a fascinating chat with a musician be revisited the same way we keep coming back to our favorite songs? With that in mind, we offer up some of our favorite culture-related stories of the year, from massive deep dives on the works of some of our most beloved filmmakers to a proper investigation into whether or not Carmy from The Bear is unrealistically jacked. Give them all a spin below. Bonnie Stiernberg, Managing Editor |
