Big Pop Fun with Tom Wilson is a podcast dedicated to pop, and the lives lived within its gentle influence, or tightening grasp, or soul crushing evil claws, depending on who you are. Unapologetically big and fun, Tom has lived a life that the world has seen through pop cultural lenses, and you can keep them on or take them off, but he's going to keep going anyway. Enjoy!

Top notch

A really excellent podcast. The Mark Hamill three parter is the best interview I’ve heard from him, and he’s known for great ones.
