    Love this Podcast! Dr. C and Dr. Thornburg do a great job of presenting an academic perspective of pop culture topics while keeping it light and engaging. This show makes me want to go back to school and take some of their classes!

  • Another Great Pop Culture Podcast

    The amount of scholarship brought to the topics discussed, the amount of joviality in those discussions, and the nuanced understanding of pop culture are all hallmarks of what I look for in a podcast. This has all three in excess. Excellent work, do please keep it up.

  • The perfect complement to Dr. C’s TikTok

    Thanks for such an enlightening podcast, Dr. C! I have no idea what to expect each week, which I think makes it so interesting. The content is always fresh. I would encourage you to consider building out additional content/resources outside of the podcast and TikTok (behind a paywall, of course)! Your fanbase (me included) would support that. Best wishes to you. :)
