The Internet History of Ayo Edebiri

We break down “The Bear” star’s greatest hits online, from her hilarious Letterboxd reviews to the origin of her digital Irish citizenship.

Episode Notes

Candice Lim and Slate culture writer Nadira Goffe excavate and preserve the internet history of Ayo Edebiri, a star in the making whose Letterboxd reviews should be crystallized in amber. They break down her best internet moments and discuss Edebiri’s social media presence since The Bear, from her dedication to Ireland to the fan-shipping that has percolated into real-life speculation.

This podcast is produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario and Candice Lim.
