I first followed Sam on TikTok and was always captivated with his takes and music updates on TikTok. Well the pod is even better! I love his thoughtful, fair, and earnest opinions and takes on music and the industry. He’s so well informed and a wealth of knowledge!
I used to listen to Beats 1 every morning, but I feel like they have lost their touch. Sam has a special passion for pop music/pop culture that Beats 1 could never!!! Love this pod🩵
PopSamCam is my go to listen for analysis of pop music. Thorough and informative. Also generally infectious.
I love hearing the reviews and look forward to what you have next. Keep up the good work 😁👍
