Hunter Harris
Substack Creator & Podcast Host, Hung Up
Love to love: Hunter Harris loves pop culture—but she has lots of questions. Previously a writer for Vulture and New York Magazine, she started her Hung Up platform all about obsession, both hers and the ones she notices in the wider world. She still writes for others, most notably the profile of (surprise!) longtime couple Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song, and for Hinge’s “No Ordinary Love” campaign.
Appointment TV: HBO’s The Pitt has been a lauded new entry in the echelons of medical drama, and Harris is helping viewers deep dive into every episode as co-host of the official companion podcast.
Rule breaker: Harris told Book of the Month that she started a Gossip Girl book club at her Catholic school. Fifteen years later, she ended up on the writing staff for the series reboot on HBO Max.
