Podcast: Into It: A Vulture Podcast with Sam SandersPublished On: Fri Jun 23 2023
Description: Samantha Irby knows what you think about the newer characters on ‘And Just Like That.’ She writes for the ‘Sex and the City’ reboot, which addressed critiques of the original series’ whiteness by introducing new, non-white friends.
