Pop Culture Playdate with Sahar & Anna

Grab your gavel, because Sahar and Anna are on the bench and justice will be served — pop culture style. This week, we put the headlines on trial. All rise. Pop Culture Playdate is now in session.

We're back — we catch up on spring break stories, new obsession with mahjong, and the chaotic energy of video calls. Then we hit rewind: which 90s pop culture moments actually shaped who we are? We dig into the memories that still live rent-free in our heads. Nostalgia is the name of the game this week.

Big news! This week we’re officially introducing our new podcast name, fresh branding, and the format of the show moving forward. After the rebrand reveal, we get into what we’re currently loving- from the books we can’t put down to the music and TV shows we’re obsessed with. We wrap things up by sharing our current style inspirations and what’s influencing our closets lately.

This week we’re sharing what we’re currently reading and watching, a surprisingly deep conversation about religion sparked by one of our kids, and a fun discussion about how our definition of luxury has changed over the years. From big kid questions to the little things that feel indulgent now, it’s a mix of pop culture, parenting, and perspective.

This week, we’re unpacking the jaw-dropping season finale of Tell Me Lies — the twists, the chaos, and the emotional damage. Then we shift gears to talk about a commercial on postpartum depression that left us shaken and sparked a deeper conversation about maternal mental health. We also celebrate Lunar New Year while diving into the important (and sometimes uncomfortable) difference between cultural appreciation and appropriation. It’s pop culture, real life, and real talk — just how we like it.
