A podcast where two 30-something best friends argue over pop music. Each episode we pick a new theme and battle it out for our top 5 songs. Every episode is a window into Erin and Jacob's lifelong friendship and a love letter to pop music. New episodes are released every other week, and we love to invite specials guests to join us for random bonus episodes.MORE Hosts Jacob, Erin

An exploration of fun we're too old for. What is pop music? How does it work? And what can two confused millennials discover about Gen Z from watching their music videos? Follow Thomas Willshire and Imogen Harris as they discuss music which is, let's be honest, not really aimed at them anymore. Flatpop podcast is available on Stitcher, RSS and Spotify, and you can follow us on Twitter @FlatPopPod and Instagram @flatpoppod. Artwork by VeraRae Art, music by Gareth Cooper.MORE Producer/Network Flat Pop
