  • Why do we love superheroes? with Ernie Carothers (BlerdWithoutFear)

    Why do we love superheroes? with Ernie Carothers (BlerdWithoutFear)
    Jul 8 2025
    Superheroes dominate cinema and pop culture, and they have for a while now. Sure, there's been a shift in movie theater attendance post-COVID pandemic, but people still show up for superheroes. I wondered why, so I asked an expert on the subject why he thinks caped crusaders and teams of mutant misfits capture our imagination.

  • What's the difference between a content creator and an influencer? with Franchesca Ramsey

    What's the difference between a content creator and an influencer? with Franchesca Ramsey
    Jun 24 2025
    The internet has become a place where we all perform for one another, where authenticity is both something to aspire to and something to be wary of. I sat down with Franchesca "Chescaleigh" Ramsey to discuss the role of the content creator, how it differs from an influencer, and what it means to exist on social media these days.

  • What even is pop culture anymore? with Nadira Goffe

    What even is pop culture anymore? with Nadira Goffe
    Jun 10 2025
    If you are someone who has complained that every new piece of media is a sequel, prequel, remake, reboot, or a studio banking on pre-existing IP (intellectual property) to bring in audiences, this is the episode for you. We are kicking off 2025 with Nadira Goffe, a staff writer at Slate, who helps us contextualize this moment in pop culture as well as looking back at a time when media felt like "hope-ium".
