Call For Comments: So what did we miss in 2022?

From Mav: It’s the end of yet another year in pop culture and we want to close out 2022 in the same way we do every year on VoxPopcast. Every year, rather than closing out with a best of the year episode we record one talking about our favorite things in pop culture that we…

e246. a Very Star Wars Andor Holiday Special

And now for something a little different to close out this Christmas season. A couple of weeks ago on Twitter, we had a request from listener Jim Roberts to discuss Andor, the latest Star Wars series on Disney+. Only at the time, we were kind of packed with some other shows that we had been…

Call For Comments: Is AI art or ‘theft’? Yes and No… probably…

From Mav: So, like a lot of other people I used the Lensa app to make myself a collection of random avatars last weekend. Why? Because all of my friends were doing it and if they were all going to jump off a cliff I would too. And yeah, that sounds silly, but honestly, that’s…

e243. What’s in a Name? (or Several)
