This is one of the articles I think about most often. Owen Pallett explains the music theory behind Teenage Dream, IMO one of the most exhilarating pop songs of the last 20 years. The most mainstream things can still involve so much craft.https://slate.com/culture/2014/03/katy-perrys-teenage-dream-explaining-the-hit-using-music-theory.html …

I have not! This is the first I've heard of it! Any standout episodes?

Nothing stands out, but it’s the same kind of analysis of pop music as in the article you posted. One of the hosts is a music producer and the other is a musicologist. Dunno if you’ll like it but it could be worth listening to an episode or two.

YES. The access to great pop culture insight and criticism is one of my favorite parts of social media. See also: Lessons from the Screenplay, eg:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulm7bcB2xvY …
