Who am I?
I'm Stacey; host of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour and cohost of probably more podcasts than are strictly necessary for a single human being..! I'm a huge nerd; I absolutely love going to the movies, enjoy reading comics (anyone that has heard a show I've been on knows I adore the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), like watching folks play video games (because I'm too rubbish at them to play, haha!) and am a bit of a bookworm. As I'm a UK nerd myself, I am often on the prowl for UK podcasts about the things I love. Thankfully, there's a bunch of them to choose from!
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
My podcast, Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour, the best pop culture podcast recorded from a bedroom in Birmingham by a sweary bird (probably); best served with tea & cake. Each month, myself and a guest co-host talk about all the movies, tv, books, and more that we've been enjoying of late (or not so much enjoying!)
What is my podcast playlist about?
I mean, the title says it all, really! These are some of my favourite podcasts from the UK about pop culture.
1. Geek Syndicate
Why this podcast?
Barry and Dave are the reason I have a podcast (so aim your thanks/blame their way, haha!), because their show inspired me to pick up the mic. They're both incredibly fun and funny guys, and they're also very passionate and thoughtful in their reviews. Geek Syndicate is always an enjoyable listen.

5. Never Seen...
Why this podcast?
This is cheating a bit because I co-host this, but Jenni and Lee deserve the mention! Never Seen... is a podcast about the glaring gaps in your film education, those classic or immortal movies people are shocked you’ve Never Seen. Each episode, one of us chooses a movie that one or more of us has not seen, then we watch it and chat about it! The show is somehow simultaneously informative and often daft, and a very enjoyable listen!
