Great Pop Culture Debate W!ZARD Studios

Country remains one of the most popular genres in American music. While men have a tendency to dominate the awards and accolades –- look at the sausage fest that is the Country Music Hall of Fame -– country music is home to a constellation of incredible women stars. The Great Pop Culture Debate wants to pay tribute to those incredible women singers and musicians as we debate the Best Female Country Music Artist of all time!
Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Curtis Creekmore and Jake Lewis, and special guest Nicole Laidlaw as they discuss 16 of the most iconic women in country-music history.
(NOTE: The original title for this episode was Best Country Music Diva, and that is how it is referred to in the episode. We have rebranded to make it easier for listeners to find.)

Nickelodeon -- or NICK -- has been entertaining kids and annoying their parents since at least the 1980s. Over the years, the preeminent kid-focused channel has produced dozens of original series, ranging from cartoons to variety shows to comedies to game shows. Now the panelists of the Great Pop Culture Debate want to relive the Orange Years and dodge the slime buckets as we attempt to determine: What IS the Best Nickelodeon Original Series?
Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Amma Marfo, Andrea Guerrero, Curtis Creekmore, and Joelle Boedecker as they discuss 16 of the most legendary series from Nickelodeon's past and present. This one gets VERY emotional.
NOTE: We started working on this episode long before the recent revelations regarding behind-the-scenes traumas at Nickelodeon. Therefore, we do not discuss or reference any of those issues. We stand with the accusers unequivocally, and any lauding of Nickelodeon or its creative teams should be seen as solely relating to the quality of the programming.
