Many news outlets now offer short podcasts, like 'Skimm This', that give a daily rundown of the news. Are these a return to FDR's fireside chats?

Eternal student and writer, though not necessarily in that order. I can usually be found sitting in a coffee shop like a millennial and writing or shouting about how great Buffalo is.
Panic! At the Disco gives its audience an opportunity for authenticity in a crowd of hundreds. And the message extends beyond the music too.
I’m curious to see if Detective Pikachu is able to entrance us as much as the original series. Pokémon was an easy escape, and so hopefully this film offers a balance of majesty and action. How will it appeal to millennials and those who played the game as kids?
Florence +the Machine's High as Hope tour has brought lessons in intimacy and hope to audiences across the country.
Why would a business that has made so much money running full seasons at a time switch to a model in which some of those shows air on a weekly basis?
While streaming services do tend to perpetuate the argument that millennials and generation Z-ers require media delivered to them immediately rather than waiting, I also think that the quality of content also happens to be better because it’s smarter.
The lack of LGBTQ+ characters in television and film isn’t too awe-inspiring, yet, there are over 10 million individuals identifying as such in the United States alone, according to Gallup.
With this wave of political activism sweeping across the country I recount my experience at the March for Our Lives rally and the negative/positive role I see pop culture and pop cultures icons are having on the discourse.
Following Falsettos' 2016 revival the fact that it's now getting a national tour shows how it's themes and topics are still relevant and important for the times and LGBTQ+ individuals.
Popular opinion on covering songs has changed over time, but what does it mean for accessibility to different genres of music?
The first track is the first step, and it’s a call to consider the albums as a whole, starting with a built-in artist’s statement, a love letter from The 1975 to us.
Stan Lee was larger than life. What will we do without him?
So many shows have gotten either reboots or continuations in the past year. What does this mean for our nostalgia and will these shows ever live up to their original hype?
U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith's rural poetry tour is vital today because it allows for poetry to be consumed by those who might not have regular access.
A small venue doesn’t allow for a large audience; that’s self-evident. They also make it hard for an artist to hide behind distance. The 9th Ward, which recently hosted Mary Lambert and Mal Blum - and other small venues - hold a special place of importance. They provide a unique space, one often with a story, and only allow a select few to wander in at one time.
Asking “what podcast are you listening to you” has become as mainstream of a question as wondering what your friends are binging on Netflix. We’re a streaming society and podcasting is a way of delivering information that respects individual fascination with one topic or another, and it keeps us engaged in dialogue - much needed or otherwise.
Today, the National Endowment for the Arts is constantly being put on the chopping block when it comes to federal funding but it's not just about the artists. It’s about those that benefit from funding to the arts. If admission prices rise, that accessibility will become more and more difficult to justify financially and less people will be able to view the great works of artists past and present.
With Apple Music, Pandora, and Spotify, I don’t think people will stop customizing their music experience. People will use their creativity to make their own albums that tell a story, and that’s great. However, with the resurgence of vinyl, I hope people take time to really listen, to the ups and downs, to the story that’s told.
