This week, we’re bringing you another show hosted by Ronald Young Jr. Pop Culture Debate Club from Lemonada media, and the BBC

Being a pop culture fan naturally comes with a lot of opinions. You’ve got your favorites and you’re ready to defend your picks at a moment’s notice. But who’s right, and who’s just plain wrong? That’s what Pop Culture Debate Club is here to decide. Each week, two notable mega-fans square off, ready to convince host Ronald Young Jr. that their opinion on TV, movies, music, and more is the only one that matters. And after carefully considering all the arguments, Ronald picks a winner. 

In this episode we dive into which phone is superior: the iPhone or the Android? Taking the side of iPhones is actor and comedian Langston Kerman, while fellow actor and comedian Baron Vaughn is Team Android. How will Ronald rule? And will his personal phone preference influence his choice?

Host Ronald Young Jr. and story editor Sarah Dealy sit down to answer some listener questions.  But one question makes Ronald reflect on his body with thoughts that have been simmering this entire season.

Special thanks to Chloe Prasinos, Aaron, and our unnamed listener for allowing us to use their questions for this episode. 

We'll be back with a new season next fall, in the meantime stay tuned for some important announcements and bonus episodes!
