JUST FYI POD: CULTURE
SEASON 1, EPISODE 24: “Midsummer Check-in: Politics, Pop Culture, and Pandemonium”
Wow, has it been that long? Amy Welborn and I last released an episode of Just FYI Pod: Culture on May 1, 2024. We knew that we would be scaling back for the summer, but I don’t think either one of us thought it would take over two months to find time for a sit-down. This has been mostly my fault, as parental (re: baseball) duties have basically kept me on the road since Memorial Day weekend. Still, better late than never!
On this episode, which we conceived as a casual “midsummer check-in,” we run through a number of recent goings-on, whether personal, political, or cultural. Topics include:
Recent travels.
New or upcoming writing projects.
The Trump/Biden debate—and the fallout therefrom.
Summer movies, TV, music, books, and (🤦♂️) viral Internet trends.
To be clear, this is not the first episode of Just FYI Pod: Culture’s second season, which should get started in September. (Hint: Season 2 will have something to do with literature!) In the meantime, pull up a chair, grab your favorite summer refreshment, and join us for a little chinwag. Likes, reviews, shares, and subscriptions are much appreciated!
