Dive Into The Biggest Pop Music Trends And News With The 'Popcast' Podcast

We live in a day and age where absolutely everyone has some kind of storytelling that they'd like to share with others. Cue the beauty of podcasts. Aside from connecting fans with some of their favorite artists, the iHeartRadio app also has a number of podcasts ready to be streamed and one of our favorites that we'd like you to turn out attention to comes courtesy of music critic Jon Caramanica and his weekly dive into the latest pop music criticism, trends and news.

In this series, listeners follow the highly knowledgeable music journalist of The New York Times and his weekly discussions in the world of pop culture. From the pop music game to hip-hop and budding chart-toppers to legacy acts, Popcast's weekly discussion into the industry's affairs knows no bounds. 

Take a listen to some of the latest episodes below, as Caramanica dives into retirement and pop stardom, what makes a good celebrity profile, and also remembers late rapper, Mac Miller.

The best part of it all is that the dialogue is interactive as Caramanica solicits questions, thoughts, and ideas about what's happening right to his inbox. If you want to get into the Popcast mix, draft a new e-mail and send your sentiments on the landscape to popcast@nytimes.com.
