October 06, 2021 77: Don't Hate Us ft. Jena Kingsley
We are joined by Jena Kingsley, host of Dear Media's Social Studies podcast, to discuss the things people love but, frankly, we hate. This includes charcuterie boards, people who post on LinkedIn, the demand for tipping everywhere you go, grocery store check out donation requests, the big water bottle trend, and more. Join us for a full hour of toxic negativity and leave refreshed and renewed with the stunning knowledge that you are not the only person annoyed by virtually everything. Buckle in!

This week Chan and I get into a little postmortem about last week's controversial episode. We chat poor financial habits and the reasons why we blame our parents for our ineptitudes as grown adults. We get into the Gabby Petito murder and discuss the disturbing timeline of events that led to her remains being found in Yellowstone.

September 21, 2021 74: Unpopular Opinions with Ash Johnsdottir
Chan is out this week so I am joined by the eldest Bledsoe sister, Ash, for a late in the evening chat and catch up. We share our unfiltered thoughts on dieting, growing up Mormon, children smoking cigarettes, and toxic positivity mindsets. I remind Ash of the moment she brought our family eternal shame by doing the unthinkable in a Mormon Sunday church service. Listen in for a conversation where we truly don't hold back. Disclaimer: if any talk of dieting or food restriction is not productive for you mentally, please skip this episode. Love y'all. <3

September 09, 2021 73: Going Broke in Greece & NYC
We are back with a full run down of Lauren's trip to Greece, from Mykonos to Paros, Antiparos, Milos, and finally Santorini. Lauren gives her most prescient travel tips for each location. Which was a hit and which you could skip, and what to budget for when hitting land of yachts and feta. Chanler regales us with a truly harrowing trip to the airport, getting her apartment in NYC, and recent quirky moments staying at Deb's. It's a classic catch up between sisters finished out with some top line commentary on Scott Disick's DM to Younes and his inevitable break up with Amelia. Buckle in!

September 01, 2021 72: The Taylor Swift Deep Dive No One Asked For (ft. Joe Peacock)
While Lauren is away on the high seas, Chanler invites her newest and hands down funniest friend Joe Peacock on the pod to do a complete critical analysis of Taylor Swift. Before we get into the woman of the hour (of a lifetime really) we discuss some iconic pop cultural moments from Joe's youth, e.g. Britney Spears Baby One More Time album release, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe's demise and why he none of his offspring follow him back on IG. We juxtapose the thirst of Ryan Phillipe with the wonderful subtlety of Brad Falchuck's social media ~ a Pop Apologist classic ~ . Then we get to the matter at hand and discuss our thoughts on her first self-titled album, Taylor Swift. Then we reflect on Joe Jonas's massive impact on Fearless and all the T-Swift former flames scorned and immortalized on Speak Now. *Swifties and stans, beware, we do not hold back. Please also note that we accept full responsibility for listening to the "stolen version" of some of these albums, it was a necessary evil for the production of this podcast. Screw Scooter Braun.

August 25, 2021 71: The War on IG Filters
This week we dive into the disturbing, sick world of beauty standards on social. Why are celebs like Denise Richards posting photos of themselves that are as detached from reality as Chanler's spending habits? What impact are filters that distort and "enhance" having on young girls and women? What do we do when instagram makes us feel like total shit about our bodies, faces, and lives? What is the difference between plastic surgery and an edited photo if both aren't "real?" We have an honest conversation about the way instagram has changed our perception of ourselves, our experiences, and what we do to safeguard our mental health in this brave new IG era.

August 18, 2021 70: NYC Highs & Lisbon Lows
This week Chan and Lauren catch up from across the pond. First, the gals dig into Denise Richard's most recent IG post and ask one burning question: wtf is happening on IG these days? Then, they regale each other with transatlantic tales from the weekend and discuss the disturbing news about Afghanistan. (Move over, Christiane Amanpour!) Finally, they embark on NYT's 36 questions that lead to love. Do they want to be famous? Would they rather have the body or mind of a 30 yr old forever? You know their answers already, but listen along as the Pop Apologists confirm their reputations as thirsty, shallow bitches. Buckle in, bb's. Many thanks to this week's sponsors!
