This Won't Teach You Anything: A Pop Culture Podcast
This Won’t Teach You Anything is a pop culture podcast about movies, music, travel, collecting, and the moments that stick with us longer than we expect.
Hosted by Andrew, each episode takes a familiar piece of pop culture and looks at it through a personal, honest, and occasionally irreverent lens — less “hot takes,” more reflection.
If you like thoughtful conversations about the things you love (and sometimes grew up with), this won’t teach you anything… but it might make you think about it differently.

The Album that changed the way I listen to Music: Back to Black
What if you stopped treating Back to Black like a set of hits and started hearing it as a document of collapse told with surgical restraint? We unpack how Amy Winehouse turned heartbreak into emotional architecture, choosing analog warmth, live...
