Ever wonder how history gets documented? Think it's just dusty old documents?

Think again! Pop Records explores the fascinating intersection of pop culture and archives, the hidden world that shapes our understanding of the past.

Join host Kimberly Springer, a curator and pop culture enthusiast, as she unpacks the world of archives with a twist. From Nick Cage's epic National Treasure heists to the dystopian archives of Margaret Atwood, Pop Records reveals how pop culture reflects the power (and pitfalls) of record-keeping.

This episode features a conversation with David Wallace, a brilliant researcher-archivist, a vinyl collector, and a fan of The Grateful Dead and Star Trek's archiving capabilities. Together, Kimberly and David dive into the forces shaping what gets documented and who gets held accountable.

Plus, a sneak peek into the upcoming season: learn the secret language of archives!

This episode also explores:

• The impact of record-keeping on public health crises.
• How pop culture references archives (you might be surprised!)
• Why archives matter in the digital age.
