Jamie Golden, Knox McCoy, and Erin Moon are hilarious, brilliant, and creative! What an innovative podcast! I met Erin and Jamie at The Big Boo Live in Birmingham on April 18, 2024. I was amazed at how kind and gracious they were with each fan that came up to meet them or take photos.

Long time listener here. I have been thoroughly entertained by the back and forth banter of the show. However I think similar to SNL and why it’s not as funny anymore in my opinion is that it does not mock the other side of the isle (the left side of politics). I understand that everyone here makes fun of conservatives and evangelicals but it would be more interesting to me if you had some one that had the audacity to mock the other side too. However, I know that would take more courage in current culture to do that.

I used to love The Popcast. I became a BFOTS in 2016 and told so many people to listen to it over the years. But it’s changed. If I had to pinpoint a time it started to feel icky, it was 2020. And knowing the PMG, they will probably immediately lump me into a certain group/stereotype. But, no. They’ve become very “mean girl” since then. They claim some horrendous accusations about celebrities and slap an “allegedly” label on it so it’s ok. They don’t do very well with criticism either. This isn’t just about the Kate episode either. I do still listen to the Over Under Achievers as I don’t find Knox and Jason to be as mean-spirited as Jamie and even Erin, the resident Bible scholar. But, The Popcast is not for me anymore.

This podcast was the first one I ever joined the Patreon for. I constantly was posting on the podcast subreddit singing their praises as a silly, lighthearted show for people who loved to talk pop culture. Unfortunately, I feel like the vibe has shifted over the past several months and I ended up canceling my membership. It came to a head for me during the “Where’s Kate?” episode, complete with her on a milk carton in the promo pic. I had to stop listening halfway through, and thought maybe it’s just because I’m British-American and probably have a different emotional tie to Kate and their kids. It made me feel icky to hear the laughter and “glee” as a fellow listener put it in discussing possible divorce and mistress scandals. Yes, these people are in the public eye so speculation on their personal lives comes with it. But it was obvious to anyone paying attention whatever was coming from Kate would probably not be good news. After the announcement, several people took to instagram to express their disappointment in the episode, and the PMG responses broke my heart. A simple, “yikes guys, that didn’t age well. We’re sorry and we wish her the best” would have been appropriate. But they continued to double-down, and even ended a snarky comment with “pip pip cheerio” which just felt like they were taking the piss out of people’s honest concerns. It was to the point where people were actually asking if Kate’s video could be trusted or was it somehow another piece in the RF “plot”. The fact that one of your listeners could see that video and think that Kate was lying because of what they heard on your podcast should cause you, at the very least, pause. It does look like they addressed this is the latest episode, but from what I can tell it’s behind a paywall. The “try our paid levels free for seven days so you can hear our reactions” didn’t land well. Just sad and disappointed. Hoping this is something Jamie and Erin can learn from.

Everything about the show is absolutely fantastic! The hosts, the content, the lights (special shout out to the review highlight at the end of each episode)…All.Of.It!!!

I love this podcast! I’m not even a pop culture geek, but I love their banter.

Such a great show, and keeps up to date on pop culture. A life saver for a mom with young kids living overseas!

I love yall but im begging yall to stop the rapid red light song. Please. For the love of all that is holy!!!!

Podcasts with three contributors usually make me cringe, but I love Erin, Knox, and Jamie together so much! They take each other’s jokes so well. Love every single episode

Love it. All of it. Newer listener and binging my way through the backlog. You all are amazing and I find myself laughing out loud and looking like a crazy person. Love you mean it!

This is easily my favorite podcast- I look forward to every Wednesday when a new Popcast comes out. They make me laugh so much and I love getting recommendations as to what I should watch/listen/read next. Keep up the great work!!

This show is such a delight. It is just FUN. Makes me laugh out loud, and is currently getting me through many sleepless hours with my new baby. I even pay their small monthly fee for extra content on patreon because I love them so much! (The only show I do that for) thank you for all the laughs - truly a gem of a show

Knox and Jamie are always talking in my house and I’m here for it. We turn to the Popcast and their other show, Faith Adjacent, any time we need a little boost. Which is frequently. PMG for life!

This is the only podcast that I wait for like clockwork. I will never stop talking about this podcast, you can ask all of my friends…. And the sister (or cousin?) podcast Faith Adjacent has single-handedly saved me from feeling completely alone in my faith journey. I feel like we are all best friends.

I’ve been listening since day one and this podcast is an absolute delight! It’s like a chat with your besties, breaking down all things pop culture. Start listening today, so you too can form a deep parasocial relationship with Knox, Jamie, & friends. Oh, and I watch everything they tell me to; they never miss.

This is the podcast I never knew I needed! So thankful to my BFOTS who introduced me to it! The delightful idiocy of the content is perfect and hysterical! My husband also gets a kick out of the podcast. Thanks for keeping us laughing and entertained!

I will stand by the opinion that this is the best podcast ever. I truly have tried to listen to others (on non Wednesdays) and they never have the same pizazz. Knox, Jamie, and Erin are not only SO funny but they are super genuine. Highly recommend!

Not me using the words delight, hijinx ensue, and nuance all the time because I want to be cool like Knox and Jamie. Love this show it’s a good time!!

The only podcast that I don’t ever skip. Knox and Jamie are phenomenal, and I look forward to every single episode they put out! Always funny, always relevant. Highly recommend!

Listener for years and BFOTS- I genuinely get excited when a new episode shows up. They’ve made me smarter on the things that don’t matter!

I’ve been an avid listener for years and I can’t imagine a week without Jamie, Knox and Erin! I laugh every time and truly just enjoy their company as I live my life. Faith Adjacent is a wonderful show too! So grateful for all of them❤️

Knox and Jamie are well versed in pop-culture while also being an absolute joy to listen to. I can’t stop listening and won’t miss an episode. They’re smart, hilarious, and really care about their listeners.

As a stay at home mom of 6, this is how I keep up to date with the pop culture scene. I don’t want fall behind in all things that entertain but don’t matter. This team is always good for a laugh! Don’t miss out! Follow and Download all the past episodes immediately. 🤍

I always get excited when the next episode comes out -it’s fun, thoughtful, and I get great recs of new shows, books, and movies to check out!

In a podcast feed full of murder stories and productivity, optimizing self-help podcasts, I always look forward to this fun podcast coming up on Wednesdays. I’ve signed up for their BFOTS because I do need more content than once a week. Just generally fun podcast with people that you eventually feel like you know

I listen to every episode, no exception, and laugh every time. The chemistry and content is just so good!

I have been listening since Knox did all the editing and Jamie made cake pops. I don’t recall a disappointing episode; it’s my favorite. I look forward to Wednesday and never miss an episode. Every episode is fun to listen to, and production standards are top notch. This is the podcast that keeps me in the know about all things pop culture - for adults. No spite, no hate, all content all the time.

I wasn’t even gonna do a review but the one star evangelical christian reviews made me so mad. Mind your own business people, go listen to your Joel Osteen podcast. Or whatever. The popcast has actually renewed my faith in faith, you know? The faith your one star review Christian nastiness tramples on? Anyhow. Popcast Media Group, I love ya. My first episode was about Taylor Swift - Antichrist or not - and I’ve been listening ever since. Thanks for helping us all laugh and grow and change. Shout out to Calley and Hannah for passing the joy of the PMG to me.

My fave, never miss a week!

I listened to this podcast for a while because the mindless banter and useless facts worked for me. But on a recent pod there was confusion amongst all participating people on a mic about the existence/confusion of the obvious country Holland/The Netherlands. At one point one of the main hosts asked if Amsterdam was a country. I appreciate the wonderful cultural back and forth with the hosts, but the lack of common sense and general intelligence amongst these hosts isn’t charming, funny or useful to the podcast listening public.

Episode 25 roughly 19:15 minutes in. First & last time I’ll listen. Disgusting.

Can we truly trust non pickle eaters? Turns out yes. Love this pod so much, but now genuinely unsure I can fully overcome Knox and Jamie’s dislike of pickled veggies… 😅

Knox, Jamie, and Erin come up in conversation weekly, if not daily, as if they are my friends in real life. When I’m talking about their content with a non-listener I refer to it as “my podcast, The Popcast,” as if I help create it. Creepy? I don’t know if it’s any worse than sports fans.

I’m not as excited to listen to this show anymore. Content isn’t what it used to be and enough with the book green lights.

This podcast is one of my go to podcasts for after work. I‘be come to rely on their recs, which are wide ranging, and their banter makes me crack up.

The Popcast is a gem! The hosts' chemistry is pure magic, making every episode a joyride. Their commitment to delightful idiocy is a breath of fresh air in the world of pop culture podcasts. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you'll keep coming back for more. If you're a pop culture enthusiast, this show is an absolute must-listen. It's a five-star treat that'll brighten your day!

I started listening just recently (v late to the game) thanks to an Instagram story rec by @thelazygenius and now I cannot stop listening! Knox and Jamie are entertaining, hilarious, charming, and with a perfect amount of Christian sass. Thanks for brightening my week!

I have listened to Knox & Jamie for about 3-4 years now. And I’ve been a best friend of the show on and off since then (depending on how broke I was, nothing to their fault, just a broke college kid!). This podcast has been here for me through different transitions of life and was there to get me through nursing school and long commutes to work and clinical rotations. I can’t believe I’m just now leaving a review, but I’m telling you, just. listen. The creativity and work put into this show, and content for their patreon community is beyond anything else I’ve ever come across. You won’t regret it! Love these peeps like they’re my pals, and they’re funnier than I’ll ever be

I was just introduced to the Popcast and LOVE it! The show has high production quality and lots of fun formats. New listeners should start with their “The Popcast: Start Here” playlist on Spotify…it’s the best way to decide if you’ll like the tone of the show. Then just jump into the most recent episode & enjoy!

Your podcast helps me laugh when I’ve been crying. (I’m a home hospice chaplain). Much thanks! Keep up the laughter with a good salty shake of Christianity!

Jamie and Knox are hilarious and I love their tales on pop culture

Nothing is better then a Jamie or Erin (specifically on aliens) goes off on a rant. The louder and screechier Jamie the better. Knox is the best, makes me laugh out loud and has the best laugh. Is this review 5 stars? No, but the podcast is.

I started listening to this podcast after Jamie was on Currently Reading. I found her intense but intriguing. I have since quit listening to that other show but every episode from then on of the Popcast. They bring me so much joy during the week and I love when they have so many episodes to listen to. The HP pods were worth the BFOTS price

I listen to the Popcast to stay relevant and to experience chaos. 5 stars on both accounts.

Listen!! BFOTS member here from nearly the very beginning! Love love love this podcast! Always have and always will! For all the Jamie haters out there… if she’s not your cup of tea, don’t drink her! She’s not forcing you to drink her! If you don’t like the vibe here or these people, leave! More room for the rest of us to enjoy all their lovely nonsense! Love you PMG!!

Just kidding, I’m not a Swiftie. But I am a Popcast BFOTS (best friend of the show), which is honestly better and creates way less stress in my life than tracking TSwift’s every move and dissecting every lyric. But I digress… Here’s the deal. If you don’t have weekly “delightful idiocy and education on things that entertain but do not matter,” then you are doing life wrong. We NEED people like Knox and Jamie and the rest of PMG crew to dig us out of the insanity that society puts us through (and we put ourselves through). You NEED to spend a small amount of your time each week laughing at and with them, 1000% disagreeing with one of their opinions on something related to pop culture, and then letting them bring you back on board with something as simple as their “Lights” section. And if you listen and don’t like it, then as we say in PMG-land, keep your trash opinions to yourself. Oh and HBD Popcast - cheers to 10 more years!

Listen. I get actually annoying when I listen to the Popcast cause I sit there chuckling to myself like a maniac. 😂 it’s so funny. Also you actually can learn things about pop culture. 10/10

I never miss an episode of this podcast! If you are new here, you have a lot of laughs and inside jokes to catch up on…. so get to listening, friend! Not only do Knox and Jamie have great pop culture recommendations, they also have phenomenal suggestions if you are looking for the title of your next sex tape. I for one appreciate the creativity. P.S. Knox, Jamie, and Erin are 3 of the most authentic Christians I’ve encountered. P.S.S. Jamie is not annoying. She is extremely funny!

I really wanted to like it. But I’m so sick of the doubling down on their right to make pedophilia jokes. I emailed them months ago asking to at least have a dialogue about why this is just… way past the line and so callous towards survivors. The fact that they reference the pushback they get in this and just go ahead in so many episodes is bizarre. Maybe pick a different hill to die on? They never even bothered to respond to my email. Unsubscribed.

Knox and Jamie have been almost solely responsible for my stable-ish mental health and well-being and definitely for getting anything done at my house in the past 3 years. I only wish I had started listening sooner so I had more years of the Popcast in my life.
