A part of the WTF Nation Radio production family of shows
Pop Culture Warrior is a weekly deep dive into the world of pop culture — movies, TV, comics, gaming, collectibles, and the fandoms that live and breathe them. Hosted by CQ, the show blends passionate discussion with smart analysis and candid interviews with actors, creators, and pop culture personalities.
No hot-take farming. No fake outrage. Just real conversations about the stuff we love (and sometimes love to argue about).
If you care about pop culture beyond the headlines, this is your show.
PCW : From Fan Art to FORTNITE | Artist Ryan Oakley
What happens when the art you make just for fun catches the attention of one of the biggest gaming companies in the world?
Tonight on Pop Culture Warrior, CQ sits down LIVE with illustrator and comic book artist Ryan Oakley.
Ryan's journey has taken her from studying art while pursuing a future in medicine, to making the decision to bet on herself as a professional artist. Her work has since crossed comics, commercial illustration and pop culture, including Bitter Root, Won't Back Down, Adobe, Lifetime TV and, most recently, an official commission for Epic Games' Fortnite.
We'll talk about breaking into comics, rediscovering creativity through fan art, representation in pop culture, surviving the business side of being an artist, her love of X-Men and Spider-Man, and what comes next.

PCW : We Survived Dragon Con! The Good, The Bad & The Absolute Chaos!
We’re back from Atlanta, and we have STORIES.
Tonight on Pop Culture Warrior, CQ and MadMike are breaking down the entire Dragon Con 2026 adventure. The interviews, the crowds, the costumes, the unexpected moments, what went right, what went wrong, and everything we learned during our first trip into one of the biggest pop culture conventions in the country.
No guest tonight. No script. Just two guys trying to unpack several days of absolute nerd-fueled chaos.
We’ll talk about what it was like covering Dragon Con as media, some of our favorite moments from the convention, the people we met along the way, behind-the-scenes stories you didn’t see on camera, and whether we’d do it all over again.
Spoiler: probably.
Join us LIVE, jump into the chat, and tell us what you want to know about Dragon Con.
