  • Erin Explains: Pluribus Episodes 4 and 5
    2025/12/03
    Erin and Ryan offer more dubious analysis of episodes 4 & 5 of PLUR1BUS, and throw in a bonus review of BUGONIA to boot! The explore how the show plays with authorship, narrative, and the audience’s role in shaping meaning. They revisit theories about AI allegory, Barthes’ “death of the author,” and what Carol’s rigid storytelling instincts reveal about creative control. From Shakespeare’s “bad quarto” to Agatha Christie nods, they trace how fragmented texts mirror audience-driven interpretation. The duo digs into hive-mind symbolism, the unsettling “Carol, please” scene, that mysterious milk, and the arrival of a sharp Uruguayan character who challenges Carol’s hero narrative.

  • Erin Explains: Why Would Anyone See Oasis in 2025?
    2025/11/28
    Bonus! This was our original premiere episode this summer. Enjoy Erin breaking down why Oasis’s 2025 reunion tour exploded in popularity—despite the band being only moderately big in North America in the 90s. She points to Gen X nostalgia, the rarity of earnest, album-driven rock, and the craving for a shared monoculture moment. Fans interpret the tour in wildly different ways, from anti-“woke” fantasies to genuine male bonding over sing-along anthems like Champagne Supernova. Oasis also did what fans wanted: they played the big 90s hits. Erin shares her own ticket-scramble, defends Liam Gallagher’s voice, and notes that North America is finally getting the full UK-stadium Oasis experience—even if the Toronto venue was terrible.

  • Erin Explains: Music and the "51st State"
    2025/11/28
    In this episode of Erin Explains, Erin digs into Canadian patriotism, CanCon rules, and what Canadian music actually is in a moment when there is talk of the US “annexing” Canada. She rethinks how we define Canadian music, looking beyond global hits and exploring the MAPL Rule, Indigenous genres, Black Canadian music, and Quebec’s diverse Francophone scene. Erin argues that real support means listening locally, buying merch, showing up to shows, and pushing for stronger public funding. She also shares her go-to discovery tool: the Polaris Prize shortlist, a reliable gateway into new and diverse Canadian artists.
