When we started this podcast we were very cautious that we didn’t want it to be too much about the MCU, even though we loved it and it was, at that time, obviously the biggest thing in pop culture.. There are plenty of other shows that do that and we wanted VoxPopcast to be something…

e369. PCA 2025: The After Show
We often say that at its essence, VoxPopcast is people hanging out and drinking at the bar after a conference. That’s not entirely true, but it’s not NOT true either. But have you ever wondered what it actually is like when we just do that. Well, that’s what we have for you today. It’s our…
