Emma Chamberlain

Doesn't have it all figured out

- By Alex Morris

Emma Chamberlain is about to go off script. Which, to be clear, is totally fine with everyone here in this industrial warehouse in downtown Los Angeles on this sunny winter's day. It's fine with Chamberlain's publicist. It's fine with the representatives from Spotify, who are hosting the Stream On event in which Chamberlain is about to make her appearance. It's fine with the woman who will be interviewing her, who gives off strong teleprompter vibes herself but who is apparently game to have Chamberlain just wing it. And it's more than fine with Spotify's top brass, who are probably well aware that Chamberlain's Anything Goes was the third-most-listened-to podcast on their platform in 2022, and who are therefore primed to believe that, whatever she does, she must be doing something right.
