What’s new in culture?

? EARS TO THE GROUND-

Feeling left behind? It’s Been a Minute is your one-stop-shop for all things culture. Journalist and culture critic Brittany Luse hosts the show, recapping a week’s worth of on- and offline culture, delivering critical analysis of the trends, “because culture doesn’t happen by accident.”

You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? The viral soundbite by US presidential nominee Kamala Harris gave birth to a host of memes, prompting Luse and her guests to connect the dots between coconuts, frogs, Charli XCX in an episode titled The Misunderstood Humor of Political Memes. They take a look at how memes are shaping the political landscape ahead of the 2024 US elections, a captivating tour of how internet culture intersects with real-world events, or is even sometimes astute political commentary.

If you're tired of surface-level takes and want something that digs a bit deeper but still keeps it light and engaging, this podcast is your jam. Luse and her guests make complex cultural conversations accessible and fun, proving that staying in the loop doesn’t have to be a chore.
