“In a world where every click, every view, and every stream can start a cultural revolution, how does mass media wield its invisible power to mold our tastes, trends, and truths?”

Join host Michael Herst and pop-culture expert Josh McBride as they reveal the hidden forces shaping our tastes, trends, and truths through mass media. We’re diving into the vast ocean of mass media—from the golden age of television to the digital tsunami of social media. We’ll explore how this ever-evolving landscape influences what we wear, what we watch, and even what we believe.

Josh McBride is a lifestyle and pop-culture expert who has navigated these waves firsthand. With his finger always on the pulse, Josh has contributed to some of the most iconic television programs such as The Today Show, The Talk, Wendy Williams Show, Buzzfeed, Celebrity Page TV and interviewed the brightest stars in the galaxy of fame.

Together, we’ll unravel the threads of mass media’s intricate tapestry—how it’s crafted by tastemakers, transformed by technology, and consumed by us, the audience. (originally aired June 2024)
