What is my pop culture addiction? I never really understood what pop culture was when I was younger. I would watch all these shows on television and listen to music on the radio, not knowing that I was surrounded by pop culture. As I look back now, I grew up in the 90's, which was the booming period for pop culture. I wish I could go back and relive some of those moments and have a better understanding of what they meant and what was happening at the time. But now that I look at it pop culture dates back way farther than the 90s. Certain shows that I would watch with my grandmother like All in the Family and Re-runs of The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson were all big points in what pop culture is today. Now that I got how I came to know and love pop culture, what is my addiction now? Great television programming, like Breaking Bad (which the new show "Better Call Saul starts in February!), The Walking Dead, The Tonight Show, and the weekly comedies that come on basic television throughout the week. I get so caught up in these shows I have to look forward to just get a taste of what the next episode is the next week.
But what really got me back into school and is big pop cultured based is radio talk shows. Just listening to the try to entertain a nation, and conduct some of the great interviews is amazing. How they can go from being hilarious to serious talk in just one sentence and get a great interview with the celebrities is what I would love to do. So what can I say is that my biggest pop culture addiction is radio, because without it, the great televisions shows of past and present would have never existed.
