Made Possible by Pop Culture

TELL ME LIES star Alicia Crowder joins Danielle Turchiano on MADE POSSIBLE BY POP CULTURE to dissect her Season 2 arc, from -- SPOILER ALERT -- Diana discovering something new about her sexuality to manipulating Stephen. But of course pop culture influences from Amy Winehouse to PEARL are also discussed.

HGTV star Alison Victoria takes Danielle Turchiano back to her childhood style icon of Madonna, as well as how artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Banksy inspire her through their work and personal stories. Plus, Danielle asks some burning design questions inspired by WINDY CITY REHAB and more, including where her love of brass first came from, what she thinks of fridgescaping, and what makes the UGLIEST HOUSE IN AMERICA versus the SCARIEST HOUSE IN AMERICA.

CASTLE and THIS IS US star (and director) Jon Huertas joins the podcast to talk about the hold the 1984 movie BREAKING had over him as a teenager, from finally seeing himself reflected on screen as a lead character to his own personal history with breakdancing. Then, he offers his stance on AI and ChatGPT. After the historic WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes of 2023, he has protection from certain uses, but he shares what he finds valuable about the technology and why.

KAOS creator Charlie Covell joins MADE POSSIBLE BY POP CULTURE to talk about their childhood obsession with CLASH OF THE TITANS and how the evolution of retelling myths led to inspirations for their new Netflix show. Of course, the episode also dives into Season 1 of that show, including Zeus' midlife crisis, Caeneus' journey as a hero, Minos' prophecy, and the overall belief in renewal. So...spoilers ahead if you have not yet watched!

Simone Joy Jones is having a big year, starring in the remake of DON'T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER'S DEAD and the third season of BEL-AIR, as well as releasing an album, and of course we get into all of that on the latest episode of MADE POSSIBLE BY POP CULTURE. But of course we also have to talk about her prime childhood pop culture influence, and that is Beyoncé. Don't worry; if you listened to Episode 4 and fear this convo about Beyoncé will be redundant, how can it be? She has such an iconic discography a dozen people could pick her and they'd all have a different moment that made them first fall in love with her.

Singer, songwriter, and performer MarkJoseph joins MADE POSSIBLE BY POP CULTURE to discuss his childhood love of Beyoncé that very quickly turned into a young artist studying a great artist to help shape his own vocal range and understanding of stage presence. Plus, he talks about how he juggled making his EP, THEY ALL FALL DOWN (available now on Spotify), with touring with the Jonas Brothers.

Comedian Mike Glazer was once on the road to BE an Olympian. Now he's obsessed with watching the games on TV. On the latest episode of MADE POSSIBLE BY POP CULTURE, he shares that story, plus talks about his childhood love of IN LIVING COLOR and how he feels it holds up to today's comedy standards, as well as why he's not satisfied with his own recent special, LIFE RULES.

GIRLS5EVA creator and showrunner Meredith Scardino joins MADE POSSIBLE BY POP CULTURE host and producer Danielle Turchiano for the podcast's very first Emmy FYC episode. Of course they talk about Season 3 of the musical comedy, including going deep on the nominated "Orlando" episode, but they also reach back into Meredith's tweenage love of Jack Handey and how his dark sense of humor may have influenced her own style.
