Pop of Culture is back! This week, we head to a commercial kitchen to learn the art of layering flavors with Chef Jason Reynolds. He also talks about how his catering team maintains their culinary creativity while managing hundreds of events each month. Then, just ahead of the 2026 IndyFringe Festival (August 13 – 23), Executive Director Paul Daily explains how they turn dozens of shows around in ten days.

We also meet comic book author—and owner of Aw Yeah comics in Muncie—Christina Blanch, and we’ll hear from the remaining artists in this year’s Muncie Three Trails Music Festival!
