Poppish

Anneliese Claire & Ellie Sims

Entertainment industry veterans and (perfect) comedy duo Ellie Sims and Anneliese Claire proudly present Poppish: a pop culture podcast that will finally cover everything that has ever happened, since everyone else is too afraid.

Each week, comediennes (we’re reclaiming it) Ellie and Anneliese swap one contemporary and one historical story that share a unifying theme, from “famous feuds” to “lost cities.” Have you ever wondered if there was a link between Lady Jane Grey, the 9-day queen, and the Jeremy Renner app? Or if Akon is really going to build a city in Senegal funded by cryptocurrency? Poppish doesn’t have the answers, but it sure does like to ask those questions.

Tune in Tuesdays, and come hungry — we’re cooking.

    I'm Actually Helping Another Monkey Who's in Crisis

    This one product can change your whole life and fix everything you don’t like about yourself? Huge if true. This week we talk Patent Medicines (AKA: snake oil) and Peptides, the wellness craze that has teens mixing and injecting miracle elixirs in their bedrooms. What are the claims behind these phenomena, and do any of them actually work? Plus: Poppish speaks on Punch the Monkey and we reflect upon our outdoor childhoods and all the moss and poison oak that came with them (sorry, iPad babies).

    Harambe: A Load-Bearing Silverback Gorilla

    This week, we trace two historic timeline shifts back to their inciting incidents. We unpack how the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand kicked off World War 1, and how the death of Harambe the Gorilla led to… whatever this is. We discuss the tragic demise of two dudes who were ultimately just doing their thing, and survey the events that played out in their aftermath. Plus: a New Orleans Mardi Gras recap, what we’ve heard about the Olympics, and a troubling way to enjoy a cupcake
