Most Popular breaks down the ways pop culture shapes our society. This bi-weekly podcast combines pop culture moments with experts who can explain why we can't stop talking about them. Dr. Adrienne Trier-Bieniek hosts conversations on topics like the history of hip-hop told through the creation of mixed tapes, how advertising impacted people's mental health during the Covid pandemic, the ways social media is used to give voice for women of color, how disability doesn't mean that a person can't win a beauty pageant, the lack of food security for college students, and much more! Check out Most Popular wherever you get your podcasts!
In 2023 I wrote about Most Popular and guest edited an special edition of the journal Radio Journal focused on the relationship between gender and podcasting. The issue can be found here.
