q's pop culture panel weighs in on the worthy, contentious, and mind-boggling stories from the week in arts and entertainment. Opinionated and irreverent, our panel takes pop culture seriously (but not too seriously).

Joining Shad today are Emily Keeler, Stephen Marche and Rachel Giese.

Today's topics: 

  • #FreeKesha: What Kesha's case against Dr. Luke and Sony tells us about the experience of young women in the pop music factory.
  • It's a new season for Girls — a chance to talk about the show that generates more think pieces than viewers, and Lena Dunham as cultural figure. 
  • Plus, can Chris Rock save the Oscars?
