Episode 8: Literally WHAT is Pop Music?

Written By Hannah Weilbacher

We are a pop music podcast. You know that. But do you know WHAT pop music is? Do WE? Today we unpack what pop music is - is it a sound? Is it a collection of the most popular songs? What does pop have to do with Top 40 anymore?

As always we have three segments:

  • A-Sides: Some recent pop news - 03:37

  • B-Sides: What is pop music - 12:20

  • U-Sides: What do you think pop music is? - 47:04
