Welcome to My Summer Lair — a pop culture gateway hosted by Sammy Younan.
If pop culture is a multiverse, this passionate podcast doesn’t just peek through a portal.
Each MSL episode explores the creative universes of filmmakers, comedians, writers, musicians and other imaginative humans who make our world weirder and wildly wonderful. Truly these creative souls make our lives more meaningful.
Think of it as a crossover experience between Kevin Smith’s nerdy sarcasm and NPR’s Fresh Air enthusiasm.
From Batman to basketball, hip hop to horror, science fiction to stand up, I (as your host) relish connecting the dots; slowly discovering how creativity ripples through realms. It’s all connected.
My Summer Lair is thoughtful and curious…documenting one origin story at a time: #EarJoy.
Often, the best pop culture is how we travel across worlds without ever leaving the couch.
(Which is great because that means you don’t hafta wear pants! #DownWithPants)
