BBC partners Lemonada Media to create new pop culture podcast

Award-winning podcast network Lemonada Media and the BBC are joining forces to create a new international podcast series.

By sharing their podcast audiences, the partnership will bring a pop culture debate in a weekly format to podcast listeners around the world.

Pop Culture Debate Club will be hosted by veteran podcaster and expert interviewer, Aminatou Sow who will be joined by two guests each week. They include Jane Marie, Dan Pashman and Bomani Jones, who will challenge each other to a light-hearted someone-wins-but-no-one-loses debate about which is better – from the most delicious meal on screen to the most realistic sports movie.

Jessica Cordova Kramer, CEO Lemonada Media says: “It’s been a treat to work with the brilliant team at the BBC on creating a series that will spark joy across the continents for its listeners. Hearing Aminatou bring this creative concept to life with guests each week has been a breath of fresh air.”

Jonathan Wall, Director of BBC Sounds adds: “We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Lemonada to create an exciting new pop culture podcast that we hope is loved by listeners around the world.

“We’re working with some of the best in the business to build our reach and reputation with new audiences and we can’t wait for them to hear this entertaining new show.”
