About Pretty Much Pop

Pretty Much Pop is a culture podcast. We talk about TV, movies, music, games, podcasts, novels, comedy, theater, etc., exploring why and how we consume these things.

How does pop culture even work in a world that is so fragmented and connected? Where’s the line between trash and treasure? As a wit once put it: “If so-and-so is so famous, why have I never heard of them?” (Or as another wit once asked: “What the deal with [insert the thing you don’t get here]?”) We’ll take a crack at questions like these.

Your hosts for Pretty Much Pop are:

Mark Linsenmayer, a writer/musician who’s the decade-long host of the Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast and the Nakedly Examined Music Podcast. See marklint.com and @askchickie.
Erica Spyres, an actor/musician who’s appeared on Broadway and plays classical and bluegrass violin. See ericaspyres.com.
Brian Hirt, a science-fiction writer/linguist who collaborates with his brother on the Constellary Tales magazine and podcast. See gerberbrothers.net.

What is Pretty Much Pop?

Pretty Much Pop brings together philosophers, artists, comedians, and other smart folks to talk about media and how we consume it: TV, film, music, novels, games, comics, comedy, theater, podcasts, and more. Most of what (other) people like is pretty weird when you think about it, so thinking about it is what we do.
