As the self described “goddess of all things pop,” Theresa M Pedone is your go-to guru when your itching to find out who starred in a 1970’s exploitation film, the love timeline of your favorite diva, the intersecting worlds of true crime and pop culture, reality tv truths and more. Like the goddess Persephone, a symbol of rebirth who resides part time in the murky underground, Theresa promises to mine the furthest depths of the pop culture underworld to bring her listeners the pointless data dump they need! Guests will include other “popsters” from the Cleveland community and beyond!
Persephone could think of no better way to usher in 2023 then to invite best friend and collaborator Roger Conners to join her to discuss the much anticipated “robot companion goes wrong” thriller M3GAN. In this week’s episode we discuss technology as a nurturing tool, our fixation with tech and the seductive but deadly charm that is M3GAN. What can’t M3GAN do? Be your adopted child’s emotional touchstone? Check. Serve as a home school teacher for your child? Check. Protect your child with deadly consequences? Check, Check! Tune in and listen to our musings about our new favorite A.I. horror doll!

These Gays Are Trying To Murder Me!
Appointment television might seem like an antiquated concept of the past given the onslaught of streaming services enabling us to binge an entire series in one evening, but there are exceptions. In this case, the much anticipated season 2 of HBO’s The White Lotus had most people glued to their TV’s every Sunday night at 9pm for the last 7 weeks! Moving from Hawaii to another luxury resort in Sicily, Season 2 amps up the woes of wealthy Americans as they explore the seductive and curse-filled terrain of Taorima, Sicily. On this week’s PCP, Persephone is joined by return guest McKenzie Merriman and first time guest and musician Nick Seink as we delve into the themes of this season, how it connects or differs from Season 1, and how writer Mike White continues to challenge our expectations of prestige television.
