I love Clairo, matcha, and jorts. Is my taste my own?

I love Clairo, matcha, and jorts... do I even have taste?

I reflect on the quiet shame of chasing authenticity.

I play, discuss, and celebrate the best pop songs of 2024, from hidden gems to chart-toppers.

Also, our "listener mailbag."

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Charli Xcx's Brat is her magnum opus.

This just might be my magnum opus, folks. As a longtime Charli XCX fan, I analyze the cultural significance of Brat and offer new ways of looking at it. I talk PC Music, XCX World, SOPHIE, Boiler Room, Kamala Harris, Brat Autumn, and more.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team was announced ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. I unpack how Simone Biles and her peers have pushed boundaries in the sport that have rippled outward.

Miley Cyrus started touring in middle school. Just last month, she won her first Grammy. Let's do a career deep-dive on one of the most interesting artists of our generation.

I explore why middle school girls have become obsessed with high-end skincare and yell at people my age for being annoying about it.
