We Stan Together
What do you stan? Hosted by real Pop-Culture Professors, Caitlin Bitzegaio and Lauren Brickman, We Stan Together podcast is smart people about dumb topics. The history of pop culture is a rich, wild, and ever expanding playground. Not to mention, a full time job. Who has time to read every Insta post, think piece, and Twitter thread? Don’t worry, we did, so you don’t have to. We’ll be your CliffsNotes to pop culture. Listen in each week and you’ll be a hit at whatever happy hour, office function, or bridal shower you are forced to attend. Caitlin has written for The Rundown with Robin Thede, Impractical Jokers and Project Runway. Lauren has written for The Cherry Picks, Glamour Magazine and performed with Lisa Lampanelli’s Losin’ It. She is a Company Member of the Story Pirates. They're both UCB performers & directors! Together, they are the Pop Culture Professors, because yes, they both have advanced degrees and have taught college. Weirdly.
