Culture Study Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I am a disgruntled professor AND I look forward to receiving this treat of a podcast in my feed every week. I’ve been a big AHP fan for a long time, and this is a wonderful extension of her brand. Her guests are well chosen and the takes are hot, timely and researched. Like and subscribe ASAP!

This is a theory-savvy podcast that still knows how to have fun. The episode on nostalgia was thoughtful, funny and, at times, quite moving. Anne knows how to work in the theory and concepts from her academic background without losing the plot. Would love to hear her take on topics like red-pill culture, hip-hop culture, pro sports.

I really enjoy this podcast, despite my curmudgeony credentials as a literary and cultural studies PhD. I find it funny that most profs don’t like the content—gatekeeping at its finest.

Great convos, mostly light but smart conversation about cultural phenomena. I like that Anne foregrounds intersectionality in her analysis and considers factors such as race, gender, and class in her analysis.

This podcast is really good. I love the various topics and how the pod explores trends and cultural impact and, often, how all this impacts women’s liberation. If you like intelligent, intellectual, and funny conversations - this is for you too!

I felt the guest on the momtok episode came in with a little bias. She seemed constantly to be in defense of Mormonism itself and have far too much grace for the religion than the women who engage with their religion in a feeble attempt or not try to deconstruct the ways their religion has been harmful to women. Also the claim that people have an interest in Mormonism because its eroticized and not because of its harmful roots such as fundamentalism, racism and predatory practices. I found it strange that the concern with momtok is whether or not they’re Mormon enough and not be understanding why they’re idea of Mormonism looks the way it does and that’s probably because of it’s harmful rhetoric around women. Also the bit around the prosperity gospel is completely cleaned up to make the religion look as though it’s to benefit people in crisis or the family unit😭 that’s just not true, and then compares it to other denominations of Christianity and their relationship with the prosperity gospel as if Christian’s relationship with the prosperity gospel is wrong and Mormons relationship with it is “complicated” ITS THE SAME. Sorry but I just found this to be bias reporting
