Feb 27, 202500:51:20Tap to summarizeSlip on your tiniest pair of shorts, bikini top and a pair of pointy toe heels cuz it's time for Tate McRae's new album, So Close To What.

Transcribe →Wrapped & Replayed 2025 - Ep. 150
Dec 19, 202400:46:48Tap to summarizeIt doesn't take a scientist to know that 150 is Mewtwo's Pokedex entry, but equally important... it's our 150th episode! There's nothing uniquely special to see here, it's just our annual episode recapping this year's albums that we listened to, reviewed, and loved. To those that have stuck with us since the beginning, THANK YOU. To those of you that haven't, you probably aren't reading this so screw you! @boporfloppodcast @therealestsimon @theehren

Transcribe →Wicked: The Soundtrack ft. Alex and Sam - Ep. 148
Dec 5, 202401:16:25Tap to summarizeLet's start talking about trauma. It can come from kids bullying your little sister and your father yelling at you for defending her, it can come from your father disowning you straight out of the womb, and it can come from your sisters torturing(?) you by playing the Wicked (Original Broadway Cast) soundtrack on repeat during your formative childhood years. The latter is the reason our dearest co-host, Simon isn't joining us this week. Instead, Sam Stark and Alex Reese (two AVID Wicked fans) join Ehren as they review the Wicked movie and soundtrack. Will the movie and album be BOPular or DeFLOPPING Gravity? Tune in to find out. @fancyboyreese @samstark @theehren @boporfloppodcast
Transcribe →Access All Areas - Ep. 147
Nov 21, 202400:54:36Tap to summarizeSkip the first 10 minutes if you wanna avoid us groaning over election stuff, but THEN!! we review the up-and-coming pop girl group FLO's debut album, Access All Areas. This has been a long time coming, but we were so stoked to dive in. Side note: can someone please explain what a "bag" is in the context of In My Bag??? @boporfloppodcast @therealestsimon @theehren
