What's this? A randomly recorded podcast that Stu is currently looking at thinking "Wait, I didn't record anything extra with Nat this week?!" AH HA STU! You're right! Nat's in Sydney being LOOSE-LIPPED. This is a fun chat that happened on Sun 25 Sept at "Titanic: The Movie, The Play", which is Nat's show happening in Sydney until 2 October. You should come!

Raven On: A Pop Culture Podcast is a conversation that began with a deep dive into the world of Westeros and grew from there. Hosted by Natalie Bochenski and the late, great Stuart Layt, this podcast built a space for enthusiastic and thoughtful discussion about the stories that capture our imagination. While it started as a Game of Thrones podcast, the show naturally branched out to explore other pillars of pop culture, from the cinematic adventures of James Bond and the time-traveling escapades of Doctor Who to the enduring myths of Batman and Robin Hood. The dynamic between Natalie and Stuart was the heart of the show, making his passing in 2023 a profound loss. The podcast continues as a testament to those conversations, with Natalie now being joined by guests like Tom Salinsky to tackle current series such as the second season of "House of the Dragon," and teaming up with Ben Pobjie to recap other major titles. Listening to this podcast feels like pulling up a chair with friends who are just as passionate about dissecting a film's themes or a show's character arcs as you are. It’s a mix of legacy, laughter, and genuine analysis, honoring its origins while eagerly exploring whatever comes next in the vast landscape of television and film.
