With listenership in the millions, Kelsey found herself thinking more critically about gossip as a form, and wanting to better understand the role it plays in our culture.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eYou Didn't Hear This From Me\u003c\/i\u003e, McKinney explores the murkiness of everyday storytelling. Why is gossip considered a sin, and how can we better recognize when it's being weaponized? Why do we think we're entitled to every detail of a celebrity's personal life? And how do we define \"gossip,\" anyway? As much as the book aims to treat gossip as a subject worthy of rigor, it also hopes to capture the heart of gossiping: how enchanting and fun it can be to lean over and whisper something a little salacious into your friend's ear.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With wit and honesty, McKinney unmasks what we're actually searching for when we demand to know the truth--and how much the truth really matters in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158726000809,"sku":"PHBK-9781538757413","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/23738483482735.jpg?v=1780591744","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/you-didnt-hear-this-from-me-mostly-true-notes-on-gossip-1","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
