Thirty Pop
Summary: Thirty Pop is a weekly deep dive into the sweet and sometimes cringey waters of nostalgia, brought to you by Milieu Media Group. Host Luke Brawner is joined each week by a rotating cast of guests to peek back thirty years at the music, movies, sports, fashion, politics, and headlines of the week, discussing everything from slap bracelets and tight-rolled jeans to lip-syncing German pop stars and time travel movies. From the birth of gangsta rap and Bush era politics to the death of hair-band rock n roll and Jack Nicholson’s Joker. Nothing is off limits. No topic is out of bounds as they reflect back on a year that gifted the world with superstars like Taylor Swift & Daniel Radcliffe while claiming the lives of legends like Lucille Ball and Gilda Radner.
