To have a platform where we can explore North American & global pop culture is privilege. And in Season 2, I am even more motivated to help legitimize pop culture as a viable cultural product and to go deeper to continue to shine a light on those who may have been overlooked historically for their role in creating the mainstream culture that has created idols, started revolutions and keeps us entertained every single day. ” says co-host and co-producer, Marie Nicola.

We look forward to growing APR with our listeners, along with joining Marie and I on a journey that not only teaches me so much around the world and its history but also on a personal journey of growth, creating and connecting with people and cultures of all sorts,” says Chrissy Newton, co-host of Alt.Pop.Repeat.
