About this listen

Every Tuesday, class is in session! Join Mikey and Lulu, the world’s preeminent pop culture scholars, as they discuss anything and everything pop culture. We’re talking headlines, trends, moments, memes, movies, music, and gossip galore. Sometimes in life, you had to be there! But if you weren’t, Mikey and Lulu are here to fill you in. If you’re the friend who always has a reference locked and loaded, this is your podcast. If your brain doubles as a pop culture encyclopedia, this is your podcast. If you’re done with doomscrolling and would rather hear two besties yap, this is your podcast. It’s not cringe when they do it. You Had To Be There is filmed in front of a live studio audience (of one) from the pop culture epicenter of the world—New York City, where else? Never over, never out.
