  • Summary

  • The Pop Culture Preservation Society is a podcast dedicated to preserving and elevating the unsung pop culture nuggets of the classic Gen X childhood. Were you there when Marcia broke her nose? Tiger Beat delivered the news? And John Travolta was stuck in that plastic bubble? Then this is the podcast for you!

    Join enthusiastic fangirls Carolyn, Kristin and Michelle — die-hard members of the Big Wheel Generation — as we discuss and dissect the crushes, clothes, books, movies, songs, tv and toys that shaped our youth. We’ll also chat about the role nostalgia plays in our lives and how recalling these positive memories increases our sense of connectedness and well-being. And really, isn’t that something we could all use a little more of right now?

    We hope you’ll join us as we wrap ourselves in the comfort of many of the pop culture moments that defined us when we were younger … and still bring us joy all these years later.

    Nanu nanu, keep on truckin', and may the force be with you all!

  • Tiger Beat Tales with OG Editor Ann Moses

    Tiger Beat Tales with OG Editor Ann Moses
    Sep 23 2024

    If you could name one magazine from your Gen X youth that captured your heart, it would likely be Tiger Beat. This photo-filled lovefest is where our first crushes bloomed and prospered, helping us cover our walls and possibly even teaching us to kiss (ask Michelle about those "kissable" photos). And today's episode features an interview with one of the people responsible for curating those photos and writing those stories that fed our preteen fantasies; Ann Moses was just nineteen years old when she started at Tiger Beat Magazine -- she was practically one of us! -- and to this day she cherishes the work she did on our behalf. She was up close and personal with the biggest crushes of the late 60s and early 70s and she has the stories to prove it.

    From the Monkees and David Cassidy to Donny Osmond (and the locks of his hair she picked up off the floor to raffle off to Tiger Beat readers), Ann Moses was living her best life and sharing it with the world. But there is one bombshell story that she kept secret until writing her memoir, MEOW: MY GROOVY LIFE WITH TIGER BEAT'S TEEN IDOLS -- it was Ann's own Tiger Beat fantasy coming true. Tune in today to find out which Tiger Beat fave starred in Ann's real-life romance.

  • Fast Times: The Soundtrack...Sort Of?

    Fast Times: The Soundtrack...Sort Of?
    Sep 16 2024

    After discussing the unforgettable characters, scenes and lines (so many quotable lines!) from Fast Times at Ridgemont High in our last episode, it's time to go deeper --with a discussion of the unforgettable music that cemented it as a teen classic. But what many disappointed 80s teens learned was that some of the music that sent you directly to the mall record store after the movie was NOT included on the soundtrack! LAME. What's up with that?! We'll discuss the best and most important songs (even if they weren't included on the soundtrack), the scenes they supported, and how that music was used to help us understand the story in a deeper way. Which 70s rockers dominated this movie (despite protests from the director)? Which songs got buried (despite protests from the producer)? And which song accompanied the least satisfying sexual encounter(s) on film? Will there be tangents about Stacy's swimsuit and Damone's socks? You know it.

I’m OBSESSED!

If you’re in your 50’s this podcast is something you won’t want to miss! It’s funny and thoughtful at the same time. I’ve literally laughed and cried while listening. Kristen, Michelle and Caroline feel like my new best friends and I reminisce about my own childhood as they talk about theirs.
