The Paper Ep 6: Churnalism

This week on Office Ladies 6.0 Jenna and Angela break down the sixth episode of The Paper, “Churnalism.” When Ned tries to boost the paper’s credibility by turning the staff into product testers, the newsroom fills with sketchy supplements, glowing face masks, and one very alarming skincare side effect. Meanwhile, Esmeralda takes Ned’s “boring” park bathroom story and blows it wide open into a real City Hall scandal. The ladies try out some actual viral health gadgets, expound on conspiracy theories and delve into Angela’s fraught relationship with monkeys. So slather on that face mask, double-check your sources, and enjoy!
