What’s popping in popular culture? My Summer Lair host Sammy Younan steeps some seriously serious tea which prompts reflections.
Tonight Edge 102.1 will broadcast the 1,000th Episode of The Ongoing History of New Music. That’s surreal.
How is TV treating you these days? It’s been a warm April, so make sure if you’re gonna watch TV to do it outside. Friday April 21 was a classic #CouchWorthy Battle. (Well not for me; I wasn’t gonna watch Dead Ringers.) The TV fighting was fresh; the month has not been. April hasn’t been…
