Under the Radar with Callie Crossley

Pop Culture: The Streaming Wars, Taylor Swift's Latest Feud and 'City On A Hill'


Listen Later

The Obamas kick off their first production with Netflix, and the streaming giant signs Beyoncé to a $60 million deal. But some predict streaming services may soon be out of reach for customers because of the cable like fees. Country pop star Taylor Swift’s celebrity pals come to her defense in her feud with big-time star manager Scooter Braun, while others say “You Need To Calm Down.” And an unlikely partnership takes on 1990’s Boston’s corrupt and racist criminal justice system in the new Showtime series, ‘City on a Hill.'


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…….

Helen Calder is the hard driving sophisticated owner of one of Minnesota’s most popular beer companies. Nobody would suspect she is the well-to-do sister of Edith Magnusson, a down-on-her-luck small town pie maker. How their very different lives came to be is the satisfying story of The Lager Queen of Minnesota. It’s our July selection for Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club.


Guest:

J. Ryan Stradal - Author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota, on sale July 23rd.
