This Won't Teach You Anything: A Pop Culture Podcast

This Won’t Teach You Anything is a pop culture podcast about movies, music, travel, collecting, and the moments that stick with us longer than we expect. Hosted by Andrew, each episode takes a familiar piece of pop culture and looks at it through a personal, honest, and occasionally irreverent lens — less “hot takes,” more reflection. If you like thoughtful conversations about the things you love (and sometimes grew up with), this won’t teach you anything… but it might make you think about it differently.

From the swell of a John Williams cue to the warm hit of a long-known character arc, we unpack why “safe” does not mean shallow—and why it often beats the ...

The impossible has happened. After sixteen years of bitter feuding that had fans convinced they'd never share a stage again, the Gallagher brothers reunited for Oasis Live 25—and I was there to witness it all at Chicago's Soldier Field.

Remember that feeling when something you've accepted would never happen suddenly becomes reality? That's what washed over me as I joined 62,000 fans watchi...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
