You Can Call Me, Karen
90s nostalgia. Early 2000s chaos. One of them is actually named Karen. You Can Call Me Karen is the pop culture podcast for anyone who grew up on reality TV, survived the early internet, and still has opinions about all of it. New episodes every Sunday.

Welcome to the first episode of the You Can Call Me, Karen pod. This podcast will aim to break down every day topics in an effort to help bring us together rather than divide us.
This week we will discuss the "rise of the Karen"! We will ask the questions: Can we break away from societal labels and stereotypes? Is there value in stereotypes? and Where did the Karen meme even come from?!
