The passionate, fun pop culture show you don’t want to stop listening to: best podcasts of the week

Clara Amfo and Munroe Bergdorf launched a new pop culture podcast this week, aiming to become weekly commute companions for listeners. The inaugural episode focused on current cultural moments, including an analysis of Olivia Rodrigo's "baby-doll dress" and its implications for women in the music industry. Amfo, formerly of BBC broadcasting, and activist Bergdorf bring a passionate and incisive approach to discussions, with a tone described as "just the right amount of gossipy." The podcast is noted for its engaging content, though the initial 30-minute episode length was considered insufficient by one reviewer. The show is widely available and releases episodes weekly.
