Author: Kyle McMahon | iHeartRadio May 13, 2025 Duration: 40:09
In this episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, we dive into the world of Agatha Christie with the talented cast of "Towards Zero," now on BritBox. Actors Mimi Keene, Anjana Vasan, Oliver Jackson Cohen, and Ella Lily Highland talk about their roles in this fresh take on a classic mystery. With themes of scandal and the rich tapestry of Christie's storytelling, they share how they infused authenticity and modernity into their performances. From the thrill of embodying complex characters to the joy of collaborating with a stellar cast and crew, their excitement is palpable as they invite audiences to experience this timeless tale anew.

And YouTube's 20th anniversary isn't just a milestone; it's a testament to how a simple platform has reshaped our world. Maddie Buxton, YouTube's culture and trends lead, joins us to share her insights on the platform's evolution from its first 19-second zoo video to becoming the top streaming service in the U.S. We explore how YouTube has adapted to changing viewing habits, now reaching living rooms as a major entertainment source. With celebrity creators and diverse content formats, YouTube has truly become an indispensable part of our lives.The episode also highlights the incredible journey of YouTube creators, who have become celebrities in their own right. We discuss YouTube's impact on entertainment and education, with series like Hot Ones and Chicken Shop Date becoming essential spaces for Hollywood promotions. Maddie and I reflect on YouTube as an equalizer, providing opportunities for everyone, regardless of age or background. It's about building communities around shared passions and offering an endless stream of content that traditional media could never match.
