The Met Gala Then vs. Now: How ‘The First Monday in May’ Holds Up 10 Years Later [TEASER]

I took off for the holiday this week, so I'm unlocking half of a previously paywalled episode in which podcaster and reality television/documentary expert Kate Casey and I rewatch The First Monday in May, the documentary about the planning of the 2015 Met Gala.
