Whembley Sewell        

Editor In Chief of Them at Condé Nast; Co-Host of Generation: The Podcast

Whembley Sewell is the youngest editor at a Conde Nast publication, and she’s the Editor In Chief of its newest publication, Them. Sewell maintains and elevate the Them's editorial tone and integrity across various platforms (video, digital, social media, print). She also oversees audience development strategy and execution, as well as leading and appearing in brand extensions (live events, video programming, press).

Sewell is the co-host of the HBO Max Podcast, "Generation: The Podcast," a companion podcast to the explosive new HBO Max dramedy "Generation." Sewell and co-host Gigi Goode sit down for a roundtable chat with creators, writers, and actors from the show to unpack a specific episode of the TV series — and ultimately, peel back the many layers of the most complex and evolved generation ever.

Together, the group reveals the origins of each Generation episode: who brought the story to the table, what inspired it, and how it all came together in the writers’ room and on set. In doing so, these intimate conversations uncover how some of the more pressing issues facing Gen Z -- from identity and sexuality to social media and depression — have affected these guests’ personal lives, and directly influenced the storylines and dialogue portrayed within the show.
