Is there a rite of passage quite like attending your first music festival? From Glastonbury and Monterey Pop, to Woodstock 99 and Bonnaroo, the evolution of the music festival has always served as one of our most accurate cultural mirrors. In this episode series producer Amanda Burt, episode director Dylan Reibling, and narrator Jasmyn Burke talk about the undeniable allure of live performances, how mega cultural events inform (or distort) our perception of an era, and which elements of community the pandemic made us crave the most. This Is Pop is now streaming internationally on Netflix. Follow us on Instagram to stay in the loop. The theme music for this podcast was created by Ryan Hemsworth.
