My Pop Five
Every artist has that one piece of pop culture that ultimately became their catalyst for wanting to create in the first place. Who are we kidding, it’s way more than one, but let’s narrow it down a bit. In our show, we bring on guests in the entertainment industry to break down five pieces of pop culture that had an influence on them or helped shape them to become the creators and innovators that they are today. Join us as we get nostalgic, geek out about the things we love, and ultimately learn just how influential pop culture is on who we are.
