About PenPop

PenPop explores two music connoisseurs with a love for music pop culture, ready to dissect and analyze classic pop songs into their own improper interpretations with no English degree, but a whole lot of outrageous hot takes. We’re here to show how critically deemed “basic” or mainstream pop artists actually have created infectious songs with smart lyrics. It’s time to get your pens out and dive into our podcast!
