KQED Pop
KQED Pop is a daily blog edited by Emmanuel Hapsis and Lizzy Acker that critically examines the social and cultural impact of music, movies, television, advertisements, fashion, the internet and all the other collective experiences that make us laugh, cringe and cry. We focus on local, national and international experiences with a Bay Area lens. We don’t do reviews.
