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?

On Pretty Much Pop, a philosopher, an actor, and a sci-fi writer (often with entertainment industry guests) 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.
