# Pop Syllabus Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/pop-syllabus-7649526 Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/pop-syllabus-7649526.md RSS feed: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/popsyllabus Official site: https://popsyllabus.com Author: Nkiruka Productions and Companion Arts Episodes: 29 ## Resource Pop Syllabus is a show where host Christiana Mbakwe Medina deconstructs the zeitgeist and answers the big cultural questions. How did we swing from body positivity to thin-being-in? Why do so many people trust wellness influencers over medical doctors? And how did tech oligarchs become the new celebrities? Think of Christiana as a cross between a messy news anchor and guerilla academic. Each week, she and an expert guest will unpack a buzzy topic, and help us understand the moment while going through it. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/pop-syllabus-7649526 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/pop-syllabus-7649526.md ## Episodes - [The Anatomy of a Real Housewife with Candiace Dillard Bassett](https://stenobird.com/podcast/pop-syllabus-7649526/the-anatomy-of-a-real-housewife-with-candiace-dillard-bassett) — 2026-07-22T07:05:00+00:00 - [GLP-1s and The Death of Body Positivity with Dr. A.
