“Beverley is such a good host on this pithy, pacy podcast about pop culture. Pop culture has never seemed so important.”

“I normally love this show but the latest ep totally spoiled The White Lotus for me (for no good reason). Great to give a verbal spoiler alert but to then give less than a nanosecond for the listener to react. Dude.”

“There was a discussion today about the decision to edit Roald Dahl’s books. Seemingly an important topic. Not on Stop Everything.
The analysis is so thin it is risible.
On the one hand we have Salman Rushdie arguing against censorship and amendment of an author’s text after their death and on...”Read full review »

“Really big kudos to the hosts, producers and crew of this podcast. It really helps me get more out of the cultural landscape, hips me to culture I've missed, feels like I'm getting the low down from savvy pals, it's funny, it's whip smart and nuanced, it's engaged and easy to...”Read full review »

“I agree with everything in your episode about the oscars
That you started with violence not being acceptable
Also your trying to understand the bigger picture of where will smith is in his life
And his reaction .
I felt that before that, Chris rock deserved praise .
Because he was the recipient...”Read full review »

“Assessing the ethics and motivations behind topics in popular culture objectively is not easy. Usually a listener gets a left or right view assessment. I think these people try hard to include both perspectives and they also provide enough space to think for yourself. So much reporting and...”Read full review »

“Could it be better? NO
Beverly and Benjamin manage to meld popular culture 'light weight' issues with stuff everyone should think about ( disability, how the media gets things so right/ wrong ) using humour, kindness and sass. Who else is going to explain why a mob would mangle the...”Read full review »

“I tried … 😞😩I really really tried to like this but there’s no personality with the hosts . So many other podcasts like “Keep It “who have wit and sassy sentiments in droves . These issues are now done better with smarter podcasters. Sorry.. banal and boring but still love Benjamin Law as a writer”

“Just listened to their critique of Pru Goward’s opinion piece.

They also criticised her for using anachronistic, old-fashioned...”Read full review »

“I love that my perspective is widened because you two choose subjects that make me think and make me surprised that I didn’t think that already. Particularly as a cis-female, white heterosexual almost 60 year old I’ve learned why it’s not ok to ask people of non-Anglo Saxon origin, as a first...”Read full review »
