Pop Culture Punks Podcast

Media & Entertainment Podcasts

A media collective founded by Phil Sorenson and Josh Kok. The Pop Culture Punk ethic draws from a combination of pop culture fandom and a fresh punk attitude. Our goal is to talk about pop culture in a way that celebrates, critiques, and questions all of our favorite media, while at the end of the day acknowledging it is intended to be fun. Even if we knock you down in the mosh pit of discussion, we'll be the first ones to pick you up, dust you off, and have a good laugh. If you'd like to submit a future topic for the show to discuss or share your thoughts to be featured on an episode, send an email to podcast@popculturepunks.com or fill out our contact form at popculturepunks.com/contact!
