About this episode
The episode features a creative exploration of the streaming landscape with various teams pitching their dream streaming services.
This year, The Pop Break is excited to bring you some very special programming during those extra long weeks when your favorite Pop Break podcasters are taking a rest. Pop Break staffer and host of the Media/Lit Podcast Randy Allain is your master of ceremonies as we take some creative journeys down the corridors of popular culture. To kick things off, we’ve invited four teams of Pop Break All Stars to deconstruct the streaming landscape and reconfigure the fallen pieces into four dream streaming services. Editor-In-Chief Bill Bodkin joins forces with his “Socially Distanced” cohost Amanda Rivas, Allie Nelson and Tyler McCarthy of “Not Couple Goals” bring their unique humor to the table, "Anniversary Brothers” Aaron and Josh Sarnecky turn their brotherly love toward victory, and Kris Ingersoll joins Randy, his multi-podcast partner-in-crime, on Team “Media/Lit.” It’s an IP-grabbing free-for-all as the panelists work to attract a broad and diverse audience while keeping their competitors at bay. They even find time to pitch some creative new IP crossovers. Please join us for a wild ride through the worlds of television and film.
