The best and worst of 2024's pop culture

As the year draws to a close, we couldn’t let it pass without reflecting on what has been an extraordinary year in pop culture. In this episode, hosts Halima Jibril and Elliot Hoste dive into the highs and lows of 2024, spanning film, music, fashion and politics. From blockbuster films like Poor Things, Challengers, Dune: Part Two and Queer, they explore whether this has truly been the year of yearning – and, if so, why? They also discuss the fresh, exciting music releases of the year from artists like Mk.gee, Charli xcx, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, while examining the shifting dynamics of our relationships with celebrities and their evolving attitudes towards fame. Finally, Halima and Elliot turn their attention to the political landscape, sharing their thoughts on what to expect as Donald Trump takes office again and what the left needs to do differently moving forward. This episode is hosted by Halima Jibril and Elliot Hoste, with research by Solomon Pace McCarrick. It was edited by Oliver Gale and the executive producer is Harry Slater.

Prey Mode: why predator vs prey discourse is everywhere online

From the viral ‘canthal tilt’ filter and memes asking girls to declare whether they’re ‘cat pretty, bunny pretty, fox pretty or deer pretty’ to recent Burberry and Stella Macartney campaigns, predator vs prey discourse is everywhere online. We unpack these recent trends, tracing their history back to incel looksmaxxing forums and how this all plays into the onrush of girl-coded memes taking over our feeds. Hosted on Acast.

Why are so many young people looking for God?

“More and more young people are embarking on spiritual journeys,” writes Susan Akyeampong in her latest article, ‘Why Are So Many Young People Looking for God?’. In 2019, just 22 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK said they believed in God. By early 2025, that figure had more than doubled to 45 per cent. New research commissioned by the Bible Society reveals that, since 2018, the number of young men attending church has risen from 4 per cent to 21 per cent, while attendance among young women has grown from 3 per cent to 12 per cent. A similar trend can be seen in the US, where 46 per cent of Gen Z identify as Christian – many of them young boys and men. But what’s behind this religious revival? And why is this surge in faith and churchgoing largely concentrated in conservative Christian spaces? This week on the podcast, Halima Jibril and Elliot Hoste are joined by editorial director Ted Stansfield (our resident Christian) to unpack what’s drawing young adults to faith and spirituality, the reasons behind the striking gender divide and whether online trends like #tradcath and “Catholic chic” are making Christianity more attractive to the chronically online.

A FUTURE WORLD: NFTs – The Death Or The Democratisation Of Art?

This A Future World episode about NFTs is hosted by former Dazed Arts Editor Ashleigh Kane and the guests are Dee Goens, the co-creator of NFT Marketplace Zora, and Spike editor and arts writer Dean Kissick. Does the rise of the NFT spell the end of the internet being “free” as we know it? What does democratisation, and decentralisation, of the art world actually look like? And why are some people so mad about it? Kissick and Goens tackle these questions and lift lift the veil on how NFTs work, as well as what they actually spell for the art world and all the adjacent audio-visual culture we experience through the lens of the internet. For Goens, “it is 100% revolutionising the understanding of how we own information on the internet. You can now have a provable, canonical first instance of that iconic meme, or that GIF, and the value that that creates over its lifespan can actually accrue back to the provable creator of that meme, (or) that GIF.” For Kissick, there’s more of an open question about how much things will change within the more storied corners of the art world. “I don't think it's going to lead to total democratisation of the arts. (But if) you haven't found yourself where you want to be, or you have no interest in going through a well-trodden path, you're just free to do your own thing. And that's good, right?” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Great X-odus: why are so many people leaving Twitter?

Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter (and renamed it X) the platform has become inundated with right-wing rhetoric, sparking questions about whether X played a direct role in putting Donald Trump back in the White House. Recently, celebrities such as Lizzo and publishers like The Guardian have posted impassioned statements explaining their decision to leave X. And many people are flocking to Bluesky, a Twitter lookalike which gained more than one million new users in a week. In this episode, we delve into the turmoil on X and consider whether the solution lies in abandoning one social media platform for another or staying to challenge right-wing ideology and combat radicalisation. This episode is hosted by Halima Jibril and Elliot Hoste, with research by Solomon Pace McCarrick. It was edited by Oliver Gale, and the executive producer is Harry Slater. Hosted on Acast.

A FUTURE WORLD: Where next for social media?

In this A Future World podcast, hosted by Dazed Digital’s Editor Anna Cafolla, popstar Charli XCX and writer Jia Tolentino talk about the pitfalls of the glossy, consistent, economically-driven platforms that we embed ourselves in every day; the dullness, and inaccuracy, of the pervasive currency of authenticity on social media; and the passionate culture and pace of new internet-forged genres like Hyperpop. They also gush about the platform that feels at once like it’s the future of social media, as well as a space for freedom more akin to what social media websites used to feel like: TikTok, which Tolentino describes as “genuinely anarchic in the way the early internet was, and certainly in ways Instagram and Twitter aren’t.” For Tolentino, the conversation with Charli is a meeting of kindred spirits who “use social media the way that we live in the world”: “I think the way that both of us are attracted to social media and to using the internet (is) fundamentally rooted in an approach to the world, which is an energy for being around people. I think both of us have a real hunger for the world, and for creativity, that is reflected in the way we use social media.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
