Podcast:All Of It with Alison Stewart Published On: Thu Apr 09 2026 Description: If something in pop culture — a movie, a TV show, a song or viral content — is especially popular, how does that change your eagerness to engage with it and be part of the conversation? Atlantic contributing writer Anna Holmes considers herself someone who avoids pop culture particularly popular in the present, like 'The Pitt,' and she's not alone. Holmes discusses her reporting in her recent Atlantic article, "The People Who Shun Super-Popular Pop Culture," and listeners share the culture they've avoided due to its popularity.
