Pop Till We Drop®

Minneapolis style maven Chelsea Lankford, aka Chelsea Lane, shares her outfits with the world on her blog "Zipped."

As a member of at least six Minnesota bands and three tribute groups, Al Church epitomizes the restless local musician with many many musician friends.

Our special guest host is Nike Kadri, who plays First Fairy in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Guthrie Theater.

Our guest host, Carroll drummer Charlie Rudoy, reflects on his band's efforts to take the next step after winning accolades last year.

Pedal Hub co-host and "30 Days of Biking" founder Patrick Stevenson joins Alex and Tess to talk biking and millennial branding.

The cool quotient of commercial pop music is rising, and at least two of the Pop Till We Droppers couldn't be happier.

The Pop Till We Drop team welcomes a new voice to the conversation and selects the 'best things' of 2014.

The Pop Till We Droppers recount life with no Internet, and try to identify a millennial cult classic.

Do your 20s matter more than you think?

In this episode, the pull of New York City on many Minnesota millennials, and the unmitigated joy of being single.

In this episode, generational views on gender roles, and why Tess and Shelby choose actual books over e-books.

In this session, millennials and marketing. It's the generation with the most PR skills and savvy, but can also see through marketing strategies better than any other. And, how important is a name? Tess and Shelby share mildly wrenching experiences naming a band and an art exhibition.

In this go-round, the 'Pop Till We Droppers' give their take on millennials and volunteering, attempt to define what the buzz phrase 'basic bitch' means, and become enveloped by the music of "Sylvan Esso."

In this go-round, Shelby, Tess and Alex take up America's blame and shame the victim attitude in the celebrity hacking case, Taylor Swift's 'career shift,' and how we sanction adult binge drinking.

This time, the conversation turns to how seriously we should take celebrities who dabble outside their chosen careers (i.e. Michael Cera's new indie folk album), the elevation of donuts to the realm of 'expensive snack,' and social and political activism which involves merely clicking the 'send' button.

In this installment, trying to learn something meaningful on the internet, Americans' 'bandwagon' relationship with soccer as a spectator sport, and Minnesota stereotypes; when will they go away?

This is the inaugural episode of "Pop Till We Drop," a new bi-weekly podcast from MPR News in which three 20-somethings examine their place in a pop culture-obsessed world.

In this episode of "Pop Till We Drop," the podcast featuring a Gen Y take on popular culture, we feature a conversation recorded last winter about the allure and danger of binge watch-worthy television on Netflix.

In this episode of "Pop Till We Drop," recorded earlier this summer, Alex's faith in social media is restored when he learns to harness the power of the hashtag in his new marketing job -- which leads to a discussion of hashtag and twitter protocol, and how some hashtags may have actually improved society.
