Summer is upon us, and so is the semiannual Popcast mailbag, in which the most burning questions of viewers and listeners are answered, definitively. This round, the inquiries were sizzling, and covered a wide range of topics. Is the band Geese the Joe Biden of rock? Was Maroon 5 a pop-rap gateway drug? What band had the most transformative decade-long run of albums? Do people think Adele is lazy? And can a Swiftie and a Twizzy ever truly understand each other?
