Welcome! If you’ve never listened to the Common Room podcast or visited our site, you’re probably asking “What’s Common Room?” I hear you, and I’m trying to figure that out myself.
Common Room History
Years ago, after quitting my job as a paralegal to focus on writing my master’s thesis I tried to create a blog about pop culture and lifestyle.
It didn’t work.
I needed to collaborate with others. Once I realized that I could create a podcast, Common Room became real.
accurate
I’ve loved podcasts since 2005 when I listened to Mugglecast, Pottercast, and so many more. The idea for the Common Room podcast came from my magazine pile. I wanted one place for the renaissance woman who loved pop culture and lifestyle equally. I dreamed of a way to blend Entertainment Weekly and Glamour into one magazine. I tried to create that in Common Room.

Common Room Today
Common Room is the place where I talk about what I’m passionate about when I am passionate about it. I no longer try to cover as much “news” as I can, but only what actually interests me. In an effort to be more genuine and maintain a decent work/life/podcast balance, I’m scaling back. The Common Room podcast will release at least once a month.
The latest iteration.
Where To Begin
I won’t be deleting the backlog or moving to another feed. So please check out some of our most downloaded Common Room podcast episodes and most read posts:
Star Wars Rewatch– if you’re the geeky type or into film, listen to some of my favorite episodes to record. Our Revenge of the Sith episode remains our most downloaded episode EVER!
Potterweek– from religion to journalism to race and more. Check out our out of the box discussions about the series.
The True Cost– watching this documentary changed my buying habits. I’d actually recommend you watch the documentary instead of listening to this episode. :)
Australian Aboriginals– it’s hard to be a cultured person if you don’t seek out information. For International Women’s Month, I reached out to my friend Ebony to get an education on the Australian Aboriginal community and their history.
