This Won't Teach You Anything: A Pop Culture Podcast
This Won’t Teach You Anything is a pop culture podcast about movies, music, travel, collecting, and the moments that stick with us longer than we expect.
Hosted by Andrew, each episode takes a familiar piece of pop culture and looks at it through a personal, honest, and occasionally irreverent lens — less “hot takes,” more reflection.
If you like thoughtful conversations about the things you love (and sometimes grew up with), this won’t teach you anything… but it might make you think about it differently.
