The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

In this episode, we’re opening the Flavor Town gates! In this eleventh installment of Flavor Town, we’re taking on our listeners’ spiciest book-themed takes. From controversial opinions about beloved genres to reading habits that should maybe stay private, there’s enough literary chaos to scorch your TBR list. Plus, we get Erin’s real-time reaction to some heartbreaking news.

In this episode, we recap this week in pop culture news. Join us as we unpack all things Super Bowl LX - from the highlights, to the commercials that actually landed (and the ones that deserved to be benched), and of course, we share our very serious feelings about Bad Bunny’s historic halftime show. Whether you watched for the touchdowns or the snacks, we’ve got the takes you didn’t know you needed

In this episode, we’re handing out pop culture Olympic medals. Join us as we hand out medals in the events no one trained for, but everyone has opinions about. From overexposed icons to nepo babies who are outrunning their last names, we’re awarding Gold, Silver, and Bronze in cultural chaos. It’s competitive, unhinged, and the only Olympics judged entirely by vibes and side-eye.

In this episode, we share our smooch, marry, and kills for February. We break down what’s worth a fling (smooch), what deserves your full commitment (marry), and what to ghost immediately (kill) during the most “runner-up” month of the year. Join us as we reveal the TV shows made for blanket burritos, the books begging to be read with a mug in hand, and the pop culture picks that will emotionally carry you through the shortest month of the year.
