Do politics make you want to sigh? Well, you're not alone. Here at Poli Sigh, we take a collective sigh, and breakdown the political frustrations of the world, bridging political science jargon to the issues and solutions that matter to you. Each episode we interview a political scientist to get their story, hear what they're researching, why you should care about it, and what you can do. Its but one way of "poli trying" in trying political times.

Pop Goes the Culture (feat. Dr. Lilly Goren)
Episode 6
Wednesday, 30 November, 2022
We zone out with Netflix, HBO, etc. to get away from politics, right? But where is the line between political and apolitical?To close off season 2, we hear from Professor Lilly Goren about the relationship between popular culture and politics. We cover examples across television, cinema, and literature to illuminate what political themes we often consume in our everyday lives without even realizing. We work through themes of nostalgia, gender construction, and “the anti-hero” to begin considering how we should treat popular media and its appropriate role in politics today.
