Pop-Litical Read is where pop culture and politics collide—with a cocktail in one hand and a read in the other. Hosted by Jeremy Garcia, a lifelong pop culture addict who walked around with a camcorder pretending to be Barbara Walters. Each week, Jeremy dives headfirst into the wildest headlines, viral chaos, political mess, and celebrity facelifts shaping the culture. One minute it’s campaign trail delusion, the next it’s reality TV meltdowns, TikTok trends, or a press conference that should’ve stayed in drafts. So pour something strong, press play, and let’s get into it.

Woke Tests & Real Mess: From Oklahoma to Salt Lake
<p>This week, the Culture Caucus gets the full rundown: Portland pushes ahead “full force,” Florida finds itself on the pricey end of cancel culture. We’ll break down Oklahoma’s controversial new “America First” test aimed at teachers from California and New York — and what it says about the state of public education.</p><p>Then we pivot from politics to pop: Jimmy Kimmel is back on late night, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City return with subpoenas and snowstorms, an alien show wraps its first season, and yes… I finally dove into The Morning Show. It’s a whirlwind of policy and pop, served with wit, shade, and a little sass — exactly what you need in your week’s news debrief.</p><p><br></p><p>Music: Let Good Times Roll by RA via UppBeat</p>

From Vacation to Vigilance: Fascism, Profiling & the Fight for Our Future
<p>Fresh off a fascist-free vacation in Europe, I’m back in the U.S. where chaos reigns. In this solo episode, I unpack the Supreme Court’s green light for racial profiling, the FBI’s bizarre targeting of trans people, and the Senate’s decision to give Charlie Kirk a “Day of Remembrance” alongside JFK and MLK. We’ll talk Jimmy Kimmel vs. the FCC, and the heartbreaking truth that gun violence is now the leading cause of death for kids ages 1–17.</p><p>Music: Let Good Times Roll by RA via UppBeat</p>

Newsom vs. Trump: Heroes, Villains & Hulu Escapes
<p>This week, it’s just you and me, Culture Caucus — a solo episode where we go full superhero trailer mode: Newsom vs. Trump, Hero vs. Villain. But when the political chaos gets too loud, I share how I disconnect with comfort rewatches (hello, Mom on Netflix), messy new obsessions (Hunting Wives, anyone?), and even aliens on Hulu. Of course, no episode is complete without queer recs — from Overcompensating to Mateo Lane’s sharp, hilarious Hulu special. Think politics meets pop culture escape hatch.</p><p>Music: Let Good Times Roll by RA via UppBeat</p>
