Fun!
Edited to say: yay! I’m glad you are back! I came for the VC Andrews episode and stayed for the conversations about pop culture people I have never heard of. I appreciate the critical lens, Canadian POV and enjoy the guests. (I also like the end segment of current obsessions! It sounds like I need to watch Yellowjackets!)

Have you heard….
Love, love, love, the deep dives and the tea Mahsa delivers about all things pop culture. She definitely does her research! I became hooked during the pandemic and My faves so far have been Tamara Taggart, Jillian Harris, and the Kardashians - and I am not even a fan. I’ve enjoyed the conversations and the perspectives presented on influencer culture mixed with her own personal insights. So happy you’re back with a new season! Definitely follow her on IG for more!

Informative and entertaining
I like how how the podcast is able to take an intriguing or entertaining topic and provide a lot of research and evidence based points while also keeping it light and fun. I feel like in the same minute that I am laughing out loud, I also am having pause for thought, and so it makes for a very enjoyable podcast to listen to while in crazy Toronto traffic, or while on long flights. I really enjoyed the fresh perspective and that she calls out any of her own biases. Interesting, fair and very refreshing.

The pop culture assessment you didn’t know you needed!
I really enjoy this podcast! Though hot topics in pop culture, Mahsa finds a way to bring interesting POVs with well researched facts. It’s less gossip, and more case study. Super fun to listen to!

Love this podcast!
I can’t even remember how I found this podcast but I’m so glad I did. Mahsa has a really intellectual and elegant way of discussing pop culture icons, from Jillian Harris to Kim Kardashian, giving you some juicy tidbits of information you may not have known, while also educating you on the complex relationship we (general society) have with idolizing the rich & famous. I have always found her episodes to be interesting and in-depth, you can tell that she spends a lot of time researching her subjects before her discussions which I really appreciate! I highly recommend the Taylor Swift episode and can’t wait for the Britney one to drop!

Smart and easy to love
I love listening to the deep dives into celebrity gossip and how it reflects on pop culture. Everyone here is switched on and engaged, smart and witty. It’s fun and gets you thinking. A great listen!

Pure Enjoyment
I stumbled on this podcast awhile back and now I wish there were more episodes cuz I can’t get enough. Listening to Mahsa is like being at your friend’s house for coffee. Just grab a cup and enjoy your time. You think you know pop culture and then she throws down some tasty morsels you had no idea about.

Love this podcast
I’m fairly new to the podcast world, and stumbled upon Mahsa’s podcast through a friends link. Love the mix of pop culture but yet with a very insightful perspective. It’s not just gossip, it’s really analyzing and taking an educated look at all things pop culture and I can listen all day! The topics are bang on and I look forward to all things pop culture from Mahsa’s point of view.

My new favourite guilty pleasure
I’m currently obsessed with this podcast! I love how much knowledge the host has on pop culture. It honestly reminds me of my best friend and I. We are both obsessed with people weekly and talk at length about stories that grab our attention. Please make more episodes!!!!! You’re my newest guilty pleasure next to the real housewives of Beverly Hills. I’ve missed you and happy your back! Keep ‘em coming

The big business of Taylor Swift
Great to see you back! We missed you!

New to your pod
Really enjoying your podcast. Thanks to Tamara Taggart for making me aware of it. Can’t wait for the next episode already. I can see this taking off big time. You’re good!!!!!!

My Fav Podcast!
Love listening to Mahsa and her guests chat about all things pop culture- you need to also follow her on Instagram for all the hot tea!! 🫖🔥

New fav podcast!
A little guilty pleasure listening to the gossip of people on social media, some of who are local - such interesting back stories! Love pop culture info so my new daily pleasure. Thanks!

My new favourite podcast
Have You Heard About podcast is my new favourite podcast. Mahsa delivers such interesting topics and delves deep into them. I look forward to each one. My only wish is to have more.

It’s feels like girls night chats over wine.
I started listening to the podcast after moving to a new city during the fifth wave restrictions of COVID. I didn’t know anyone in my new city and hd no way of making friends. It was definitely lonely but listening to the podcast felt like having a girls night chat over wine. I appreciate how much research Mahsa puts into each episode to give the background, especially on episodes like Jessica Mulroney and Sasha Exeter. I don’t want to spoil any episodes but I think she’s spot on with her take on influencing and it was refreshing that she wasn’t intimidated to take on big names like Jillian Harris and Rachel Holis. Mahsa is a feminist and definitely has progressive views but I don’t understand why *HER* podcast is getting hate for her sharing her views… it’s her podcast?? Also, if you think racial justice and women’s rights are “too liberal”, 1. This podcast may not be for you 2. You should maybe do some reflection as to why those topics bother you.

Well done!
Mahsa and her guests always have engaging conversations and have me more interested in pop culture based on how intelligently they approach each subject. I love the deep dives and the mini dives. I only wish there was a new one every week (but understand that it takes a long time to make these properly, the way she does).

Love it
M has a really amazing voice and listening to her deep dives and hot takes has been amazing! Keep it up girl!

Fantastic Content
Just a few episodes in and I'm hooked. Bravo.

So Good
These podcasts are so good, relatable and easy to listen to. Never thought pop culture was for me, but I am hooked. Mahsa has one of those easy to listen to voices and has a lot to say and interesting guests. I’m here for it all.

Fun!
With the state of the world as it is, sometimes it’s fun to listen to a podcast that makes you forget about all that. It sometimes offers a look back (VC Andrews, anyone?) and at other times is more current (Jillian Harris). Masha does extensive research and can dissect a topic like anyones business, but I like that she’s never mean or catty. She provides thoughtful commentary and some excellent resources on pop culture. This one’s a keeper!

Listened to them all!!!!!
I came for the Rachel Hollis deep dive and found myself obsessively listening to every single episode. The deep dives are thorough, but so well done and entertaining. I get excited every time I’m notified of a new episode. 10/10 recommend.

Keep Coming Back for More
First discovered this podcast for the Jillian Harris episodes. However I keep coming back for Mahsa’s deep dives. Her love and deep knowledge of pop culture is refreshing. Add in a sprinkling of sociology, intersectionality and literary criticism. Chef’s kiss!

Students of Pop Culture, Welcome to Class
I stumbled upon this podcast after devouring Yellowjackets and wanted to hear plot analyzations and reviews. I listened to the Yellowjackets Ep and immediately scrolled through the rest of the episodes. Before I knew what happened, I’d consumed every episode like a kid gorging on Halloween candy. Mahsa calls herself a student of pop culture, she thoughtfully dissects and analyzes pop culture through an intellectual lens. If you love pop culture, nostalgia, and examining how pop culture has shaped our world - I look forward to seeing you in class! 😉♥️

Smart and fun!
I’m so happy that I stumbled upon this podcast! I’m enjoying Mahsa’s (host) thorough take on pop culture and the enthusiasm she exudes. Her guests are so fun as well. This podcast is a breath of fresh air, and her IG page is just as good!

Entertaining to the max!
Love listen to the podcast! Feeling much more up to date on all things pop culture.

I dig it
Watching the Netflix inviting Anna and wanted more and here it is. And now listening through others.

Deepest Dives!
This podcast is a worth while long form podcast on pop culture with accurate written titles and descriptions. Have You Heard About Podcast is well researched, cited and has many references to add to or inspire a journey into these topics you’ve always wondered about. So I should probably drop my suggestion for an episode: Jillian Harris!!

The Pop Culture conversations I wish I could have with my friends.
Randomly found this podcast when I heard there was an Anna Delvey series coming out soon and I wanted to refresh my memory. I like the insight and the stories, some I know well and some just surface level. I haven’t listened to all of the episodes, but quickly binged a bunch once I found out about it. Masha and guests provide insight into pop culture and shine a light on a rising issue we have - influencers.

Love it! Always an interesting listen
The episodes seem to reflect exactly what pop culture topics I am interested in that week. Mahsa and her guests are well informed and I appreciate that they take an even handed approach in their discussions. It feels like a fun conversation with friends!

Fun!
I came for the VC Andrews episode and stayed for the conversations about pop culture people I have never heard of. I appreciate the critical lens, Canadian POV and enjoy the guests. (I also like the end segment of current obsessions! It sounds like I need to watch Yellowjackets!)
