Pop Culture Adapts To COVID-19: Streaming Services, Musical Parodies As Public Health Messages, And Black Twitter


Listen Later

Pop culture adapts in the age of COVID-19. Streaming services are the number one choice of the pandemic shut-in for many. From "My Sharona" by The Knack to "My Corona," musical parodies provide levity and public health messaging. And Black Twitter rebrands the coronavirus. It's Under the Radar's Pop Culture Round Table.

Guests:

  • Rachel Rubin - Professor of American studies at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

  • Michael Jeffries - Associate professor of American studies at Wellesley College.

  • Later in the show:

    Our pick for April’s Book Club: ‘We Ride Upon Sticks’ By Quan Barry.
