A Last Love Letter to Pop Culture

Pop Cultured with theSkimm September 27, 2022

September 27, 2022

Sadly, we’re saying goodbye to Pop Cultured. In the last year, we’ve done some memorable pop culture deep dives (think: Queen Bey’s “Renaissance” and the history of house music) and broken down some of the biggest stories in the news (like: the Oscar’s slap and Serena retiring as the GOAT). We’ve also had some amazing conversations along the way. 

So, it’s only right that we end the show the way it began: talking about why these stories matter.

TV, movies, fashion, sports, and just about everything we consume can be pop culture, and looking at it can tell us a lot about what’s going on in society.

Today, we take a look back at some of our favorite moments on the show — from Dwyane Wade totally flubbing questions about his wife Gabrielle Union to that time Bridget got an astrology reading that told her when she’ll find love.

Then, we chat with some of our favorite show guests on why pop culture is important to them — and the world.

You’ll hear from:
