Listen: we don't claim to be popular, and never have. But we are fascinated by popularity. So this week, we're looking at picks that engage with the idea of what's hip and happening.
Plus, the Broads talk through our formative experiences of (non) popularity, try out sound effects like popular radio shows, and envision the pitch meeting behind a timeless popular snack. And much more.
- Check out all current and past picks at our Bookshop.org store.
- Listen to "Popular," the song from Nada Surf that inspired this week's theme.
- Get a Broad's book: Order Dig Me Out by our own Amy Lee Lillard now!
