Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) is a weekly show from Jamie Loftus that takes a closer look at the internet’s main characters – one part reported, one part interviews, and one part Jamie collapsing her permanently internet-damaged brain. Whether it’s an enduring meme or a dreaded Character of the Day distinction, it’s the kind of notoriety that often results in little money, unwarranted attention, and a confusing blurred line of consent. What do you do when you get more attention and judgement than any one person is built to handle? The Sixteenth Minute of Fame is the place where we figure that out, putting people in the context of the moment they've been frozen inside of.
Remember when the world didn't feel like it was coming apart? Neither do we. Cool Zone Media doesn't mince words: we are living through the collapse of the known, and the birth of a new unknown. Every week we chronicle that collapse and provide advice and access to vital voices trying to build a better future.
