  • Why do we love superheroes? with Ernie Carothers (BlerdWithoutFear)

    Why do we love superheroes? with Ernie Carothers (BlerdWithoutFear)
    Jul 8 2025
    Superheroes dominate cinema and pop culture, and they have for a while now. Sure, there's been a shift in movie theater attendance post-COVID pandemic, but people still show up for superheroes. I wondered why, so I asked an expert on the subject why he thinks caped crusaders and teams of mutant misfits capture our imagination.

    Find @BlerdWithoutFear over on his YT channel!

  • What's the difference between a content creator and an influencer? with Franchesca Ramsey

    What's the difference between a content creator and an influencer? with Franchesca Ramsey
    Jun 24 2025
    The internet has become a place where we all perform for one another, where authenticity is both something to aspire to and something to be wary of. I sat down with Franchesca "Chescaleigh" Ramsey to discuss the role of the content creator, how it differs from an influencer, and what it means to exist on social media these days.

  • What even is pop culture anymore? with Nadira Goffe

    What even is pop culture anymore? with Nadira Goffe
    Jun 10 2025
    If you are someone who has complained that every new piece of media is a sequel, prequel, remake, reboot, or a studio banking on pre-existing IP (intellectual property) to bring in audiences, this is the episode for you. We are kicking off 2025 with Nadira Goffe, a staff writer at Slate, who helps us contextualize this moment in pop culture as well as looking back at a time when media felt like "hope-ium".

  • Is all politics local? with Gregory Royal Pratt

    Is all politics local? with Gregory Royal Pratt
    Nov 26 2024
    They say all politics is local, but that's difficult to believe when every single topic of conversation at our dinner table seems to have national stakes. From the books on our kids' shelves to who reads those books to them to the statues in our parks to who is allowed in our parks, every issue large and small feels like it's operating on some grand scale. It's hard to gain perspective, hard to know what information to trust, especially when some of our politicians are telling us not to trust what we've seen and heard with our own eyes and ears.

    That's where good journalists come in.

    Gregory Royal Pratt is an investigative reporter with the Chicago Tribune. He's made a name for himself covering corruption, triumphs, and everyday heroes in the third largest city in the country. We had a conversation about the power of local journalism, the influence of national politics in small town spaces, and why he wrote a book about Lori Lightfoot.
