About

Landline is the podcast where pop culture gets some context. Each episode, historian Mary Mahoney calls up guests to connect today’s celebrity culture, TV, movie, music, and online trends to the histories that make them make sense. It’s like a group text for people who love footnotes, or the answer to the question, “Why can’t history feel more like US Weekly?”You can find the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MaryMahoney Hosted on Acast.
