Welcome to School of Pop, the reimagined version of what started as Fan Fave with Katrina. After two years of off and on podcasting and figuring things out, we're back with a clearer vision, a new structure, and a deeper dive into pop culture. Each season is now a "semester," and this one? We're kicking things off with a theme I’ve been wanting to explore for a long time: Fandom Ethics.

This first episode sets the stage. I’m talking about why the show has changed, what School of Pop actually means, and the questions we’ll be asking all season long. We’ll also start to define what it really means to be a fan.
