How Lord Byron created the concept of celebrity, despite bad behavior, scandal, and incest.
Decoder Ring is a podcast about cracking cultural mysteries. Every episode, host Willa Paskin takes on a cultural question, object, idea, or habit and speaks with experts, historians, and obsessives to try and figure out where it comes from, what it means, and why it matters.
The romantic poet Lord Byron was arguably the first modern celebrity; more famous for his persona than for his work. His exploits were gossiped about in person and in the papers: his fashion, his diet, and his affairs. His reputation rose and fell and rose again, culminating in his ultimate redemption in death fighting for Greek independence.
