Niche or Sheesh: The Summer 2026 Pop Culture Report with THNK1994

I’m joined by Viviana Olen and Matt Harkins of THNK1994 for an off-the-record, al fresco debrief on the niches and sheeshes that defined Summer 2026. We get into the Phia cookie-stuffing scandal, AI-generated royal fanfic, Taylor and Travis’s MSG wedding, Gwyneth’s Sam Altman dinner, Next Gen NYC, Housewives fantasy casting, Kylie Jenner’s Meta glasses, the end of skin scents and, naturally, Big Kiwi’s very good summer.

Club Artists Way groups are now open for fall! New sessions begin September 17. Details + Sign up here.
