605: Pop Culture Tariffs

In this episode, we unpack the idea of pop culture tariffs. Join us as we explore the metaphorical tolls we pay when entertainment just won’t let something (or someone) go - we’re talking omnipresent actors, overused tropes about mildly broody acquaintances, and franchises that just won’t die. Plus, Knox shares his own rapid red lights. Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/605Like us?

The only pod I listen to on a weekly basis

Rs08k

Knox and Jamie are the delightful chaos you didn’t know your pop culture life was missing. They dish out sharp, hilarious takes on everything from celebrity mishaps to obscure TV moments with the perfect mix of sass and smarts. Listening feels like eavesdropping on your funniest friends—if your friends were way better at hot takes and didn’t interrupt you constantly. The Friends with Benefots tier on Patreon? A cozy, ad-free wonderland I would protect at all costs. And don’t even try to recommend a book before I’ve heard their Green Lights—priorities, people. If you love pop culture but have no time for petty gossip or reality show drama spirals, The Popcast is your comfy, snark-filled escape hatch.
I’ve heard every episode

Where are the puppies?

In a sea of money grabs and failed celebrity grifts, this is never miss podcast. I’ve been listening since Jamie was on another Jamie’s pod and listened to the backlist, including the lost tom hanks ep. Come here to get a show to replace your emotional support show (the office) and stay for the laughs.

I’ve been listening to Knox and Jamie on Wednesdays for more than 10 years now. They are my comfort show the same way Gilmore girls is.
TLDR:They’re the biscuits.

Knox and Jamie are an absolute delight! The pop cultural knowledge is far-reaching and informative, but most of all HILARIOUS! Don’t let any one star review get you fooled—they will tell it like it is in the best way, no matter who you are. They are my favorite church goers, and they make may whole day every time I listen.
