    Best Summer Song
    Jul 22 2024
    Pop music is as quintessential to the summer as warm breezes, lazy afternoons, and margaritas by the pool. And for decades, musical artists have been inspired by the season to create memorable, catchy songs that have, in turn, become required listening every time the warmer months roll around. So for one of our 2024 Summer Specials, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to feel the heat as we name the Best "Summer" Song. Songs discussed include “Cruel Summer” by Bananarama; “Summer in the City” by The Lovin’ Spoonful; “Cool for the Summer” by Demi Lovato; “Summer Breeze” by Seals & Crofts; “California Gurls” by Katy Perry & Snoop Dogg; “Summer of ‘69” by Bryan Adams; “The Boys of Summer” by Don Henley; “Sailing” by Christopher Cross; “Come Sail Away” by Styx; “Summer Lovin’” from Grease; “Under the Boardwalk” by The Drifters; “I Get Around” by The Beach Boys; and more! Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Derek Mekita and Kate Racculia, and special guest Ashleigh Stiles from Wizard Radio as they discuss 16 of the most popular songs associated with the summer. Play along at home by finding the listener bracket here. Make a copy for yourself, fill it out, and see if your picks match up with ours!

  • Best Modern Tabletop Game

    Best Modern Tabletop Game
    Jul 1 2024
    Board games have been popular for more than a century -- some date back to the ancient world. But in the late 20th Century up until now, the buzzword has been tabletop games -- broadly speaking, elaborate games of skill, strategy, and luck that have generated intense fandoms since the late 1990s. While we've already covered the classic board games popular in our youth, the Great Pop Culture Debate now wants to determine the Best Modern Tabletop Game. Games discussed: Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, Codenames, Forbidden Island, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Azul, Kingdomino, Carcasonne, Splendor, Ticket to Ride, Wingspan, and more. Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback and Trey Radu-Blackburn, and special guest tabletop aficionado Jared Tannenbaum as they discuss and debate 16 of the most popular contemporary board games. Play along at home by finding the listener bracket here. Make a copy for yourself, fill it out, and see if your picks match up with ours! For more exclusive content, including warm-up in which we discuss the villains we were bummed didn’t make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.
