“Overall great content, smart commentators. John’s ideas although articulated brilliantly are not always that interesting. Joe needs more air time- he deserves to not be constantly interrupted by John to mature this pod.
Pop culture should focus squarely on pop, not random tangents like the AI...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast, been listening for years. Really was digging the popcast deluxe on YouTube and now that’s gone ish? The main feed seems like it’s on hiatus as well?
Is this because Jon is out writing his book? Whatever is going on please give us an update about the status of the show. It’s...”Read full review »

“Big fan and OG listener of the pod. Please keep doing YouTube videos!! Most of the podcasts I listen to have a video component, so I was excited when you all finally got with the times. If I had to critique, I don’t find the one on one interviews that interesting. And PLEASE, less Taylor Swift....”Read full review »

“Man, come on. I love this podcast and have been a dedicated listener up to this point, but to disappear for a month and then come back with…this? ANOTHER Taylor Swift episode, and a really boring one at that?
I listen because I love all kinds of pop music, and I love hearing people talk about...”Read full review »

“We need to get a sociologist on popcast to talk about AI. Every conversation is coming from an industry or creative perspective but feels like the angle we’re missing is one that considers what it does to humans—both on an individual and collective level—to engage with technologically mediated...”Read full review »

“the show drifts into political and socio-economical debates, where the podcasters and guest draw vague conclusions and create new narratives on past events to fit their personal worldview.
It’s understandable that a podcast on pop music has less editorial oversight but it’s still harmful for a...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a long time popcast head, own merch, go to the live shows. But my commitment to a free Palestine means divesting from all which the New York Times—which has sanctioned and furthered the deaths of now 30,000 Palestinians— produces. Sadly, until the magazine issues the apologies it musts,...”Read full review »
