Making her podcast has emboldened Murphy to try new things - including auditioning for E! Her favorite pop culture is the “nostalgic” kind, referring to pop culture from the late ‘90s and early 2000s, she said.

I always loved ‘Miss Congeniality’ and ‘Lizzie McGuire’ - all of these movies and TV shows that were about women.” “I remember just obsessing over female protagonists. “I didn’t have a lot of feminine things around me all the time,” she said.

Murphy’s pop-culture love started when she was young - growing up as the youngest of eight children, and the only girl in a house full of brothers. She also does what she calls “pop culture deep dives - just because that’s what I love.” Some of those deep dives have covered such stars as Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan. “I do a lot of my listeners’ submitted stories, like worst dates, worst in-laws, worst roommates, things like that.” “We talk about a lot of different stuff on the podcast,” Murphy said. The podcast really took off during the COVID-19 lockdown, in part because her husband, Matt, who is a composer, always had extra microphones around the house.Īt first, Murphy just wanted to try it out, but that changed as she received more and more positive feedback. Since January 2020, she has been the host of a comedic bi-weekly podcast, “The Bad Broadcast,” with an accompanying Instagram account. “The Rundown” is Murphy’s first “official” dip into pop culture reporting, but it’s not her first media project. “I think the easier it is to access for them, the better.” They’re invested in social justice issues and things like that,” she said. “Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram - they’re all gearing towards, like, Gen Z or, like, younger millennials, because they’re a powerful generation and they’re really invested in things. Shifting the traditional TV news recap to a platform like Snapchat, Murphy said, points to a larger trend of how younger audiences consume news. The show runs three days a week: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. “The Rundown” averaged 1.5 million viewers per episode, according to the network. On Friday’s episode, Murphy talked about sightings of several celebrity couplings, reflected on feeling old because her “boyfriend,” Zac Efron, is playing a father in the upcoming remake of Stephen King’s “Firestarter” - and then introduced a montage of red-carpet interviews with Will Smith and the stars of “Bel-Air,” a new drama based on Smith’s ‘90s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” The Snapchat show stuffs a lot in six minutes. But Murphy says the E! News team helped her practice, and even encouraged her to add her own creativity to the lines. She’s looked forward to something like this for so long, she said, that when it came to filming on the first day, she was so nervous she felt like she could cry. It’s a “dream job,” Murphy said, and it’s hard to pick a favorite part of the gig. When Murphy, who lives in Alpine, made her audition video, she said, her husband joked that he “couldn’t believe she was filming this thing that she’d consumed for so many years.”
