This week, we dive into the news of Harry Styles winning Album of the Year over Beyonce at the recent Grammy Awards. Meanwhile, Beyonce became the artist with the most Grammys after winning her 32nd Grammy for Best Dance Album – but why won’t they let her have AOTY? Many are calling Styles out as the problem, but we take a step back to look at the source of all of this – the voting committee – discuss the inherent bias with the voting system.We also delve into the topic of "queerbaiting" and its overuse. With the rise of TikTok and the younger generation using the platform to express themselves, the term "queerbaiting" has become a hot topic. But is it being used appropriately?  And if not, what does the word even mean anymore? And, we’re joined by entertainment journalist and writer at Rolling Stone, Larish Paul!

It’s a new year & we’re switching things up! We’re taking our learning from the past 2+ years of this podcast and applying it to current events. Why? With all of the feminist theory and pop culture history in our toolkit, we want to understand these events better as they happen and the implications they hold in everyday life. We talk a lot about being critical consumers and this is a chance to put on the media literacy hat in real time — we’re calling out BS and celebrating those who deserve it.Enjoy this episode?

We’re looking at 2022 to connect some of the dots between the biggest pop culture moments. Last year a lot of women had their moments like Olivia Rodrigo becoming an overnight sensation, Britney Spears getting out of her conservatorship, and Taylor Swift re-recording her music to stick it to the man. But this year was different. What stood out to us more than anything? The blatant hatred for women, most notably in the Depp-Heard trial that we are now watching unfolds into other events — one of those being Tory Lanez v California where Megan thee Stallion is taking the stand as a witness.Much to unpack! We’re also ending on a lighter note of “white boy of the month” and why musicians in particular have been so popular this year.Enjoy this episode?

We’ve seen a slew of musicians speaking out about their mental health this year. From A-listers like Selena Gomez and Shawn Mendes to Sam Fender, Santigold, and so many more, musicians at all levels are canceling tours to prioritize their mental well-being.Why is this happening so frequently? Is it the fact that our understanding of mental health is at all-time high? Is it that musicians aren’t afraid to speak out? Is it that touring expectations are any different?Enjoy this episode?

There’s an unending flood of discourse on TikTok that’s now making its way to mainstream media, sparking a cycle of TikTok and the media reacting to each other.From Don't Worry Darling Discourse, to expecting access to the knowledge of your fave's sexuality, TikTok creators who are fans of pop culture have taken gossip and turned it into news. And it goes so crazy that the mainstream media feels to acknowledge it.For example, a Journalist for Rolling Stone reports on the fan theory that Taylor Swift is secretly gay. Some Swities then believe since a reputable publication like Rolling Stone reported on it, it gives the theory some validity.But this isn’t how the media works. Lack of media literacy and a rise in TikTok group think is changing both how the media reports on pop culture and how individuals consume and respond to media.Enjoy this episode?
