- Becoming a weekly listen
I really love a high-low esque mix of pop culture reporting and literary commentary from actual working journalists. I’m also an American Anglophile. So I love keeping up with British culture.

I absolutely love your pod. The conversation, the recs and laughs , it’s just simply top tier.
Was distraught when my beloved HighLow finished and searched high and low (😉) for something equally good. So when I discovered Straight Up I was delighted and to be honest it’s straight up better (sorry Dolly and Pandora!). Hope to see you both in Dublin for an in person event some time in the future 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Love the banter and perspectives of these two thirty-something’s who care about the ‘culture’ in pop culture. I always learn and laugh listening to each episode.

Really enjoy both their takes on the latest books, film, series and pop culture news. It’s such a relaxing listen, it even became the soundtrack to our hospital drive while I was in labour (at five centimetres!) with my daughter two weeks ago. Thank you!
