(Recorded in Spring 2023) In this episode of We Need to Talk, hosts Mia LePage, Naya Ng, Gabriela Mancini, and Rachel Williams dive into the vibrant world of pop culture. The episode kicks off with a lively discussion about their favorite artists, setting the stage for a thought-provoking segment where the WNTT correspondent team hits the Temple campus to ask students: “Can you separate the art from the artist?”

Next, the hosts tackle the fascinating world of fandoms and “stan culture,” exploring how these passionate communities shape our relationship with pop culture. They also reflect on how their own connections to pop culture have evolved since they were younger—what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and what it all means today: this and much more.
