I'll Be There For You is a new podcast about pop culture and coping, named for the FRIENDS theme song or the Bon Jovi anthem, depending on your taste. In each episode, host Lindsay Eanet talks with a person she admires about one or two pieces of pop culture that have gotten them through a difficult time, either personally or in a broader, more global “state of the world” context. She loves talking to people about things they love, and hopes this show will also be an opportunity to explore the strategies we use to cope and care for ourselves when the world is literally on fire, and how pop culture can shine a light on those methods and even help us make a better, more empathetic world. If you care about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the melting ice caps, this podcast is for you.
