Hey, this is RJ! I’m a food personality who loves to consume food AND pop culture. This is The POP-sicle, where I combine my love for TV, movies, music, books, gaming, and more with my love for creating new and fun recipes to try! Each episode, my guest and I will feast on a new piece of pop culture—an album release, a new binge-worthy show, a movie or mini-series, the Olympics! And much like popsicles, which can quickly become just as sticky as they are sweet, we’ll investigate both sides of the subject: what’s “sweet,” what’s “sticky,” and what we lapped right up about it. We’ll close the show with a recipe I’ve created in celebration of our pop culture topic—exclusively on The Ampliverse website! 

So chill with us on this sweet new show. Welcome to The POPsicle! The show launches February 4th!
