Pop culture can sometimes feel like a language everyone else seems to speak — from the latest song or TV show to viral moments, social media trends, celebrities, and cultural conversations.
But you don’t have to know every celebrity, meme, or hit song to be part of the conversation.
Why this conversation matters
Pop culture is more than entertainment. It reflects what we’re talking about, what we care about, and how we connect with one another.
Join Alisha Sweeney, longtime Denver radio host, music curator, DJ, and cultural storyteller, for a lively and approachable conversation about why pop culture matters and how staying curious can help us better understand the world around us.
For more than two decades, Alisha has helped audiences discover the music, artists, and cultural moments shaping our world. As a founding host of Colorado Public Radio’s Indie 102.3, she has become a trusted voice in Colorado’s music scene.
In this timely and fun presentation, Alisha will take some of the mystery out of pop culture and remind us that it’s never too late to discover something new.
