The Big Sell 30 Day Challenge continues! We’re inviting everyone to join us and attempt to experience something new in pop culture once a day for 30 days. To help you out, we’ll tweet out and post suggestions here on our website.

But in order to come up with 30 days worth of new pop culture, we’re getting a little help from our friends.  Today, Claudia Castillo, the co-host of The Long Distance Popcast, joins us to share her Big Sell- musician Todd Wicks Dream Cruise.

Claudia thinks you’ll like Todd Wicks Dream Cruise, “…If you like songs about obsession and grief and love, just imagine Cheap Trick and Rick Springfield had a baby…”

We’re sold!

Listen to this episode of Inside Pop to hear Claudia’s full Big Sell. And you’ll also hear her co-host, Matt McKee’s Day One Big Sell, the Netflix series, Peaky Blinders. Matt is using this show to fill the big space left until Game of Thrones returns.

We’d love to hear your #BigSell30 suggestions!

Leave a comment here or tweet us @popinsiders. And also make sure to tell us how your #BigSell30 Challenge is going!

The Big Sell is getting even BIGGER! For the past 10 months we’ve ‘Big Sold’ each other every week – taking turns recommending something new in the world of pop culture for the other to check out. The result? We’ve each heard more music, seen more movies, read more short stories and experienced so much more great new pop culture than we’d ever experienced before. And our water cooler banter is so ON POINT!

And now we want YOU to get in on the act.  We’re inviting you to take part in the Big Sell 30 Day Challenge. Join us and commit to trying out one new piece of pop culture every day, for 30 days. A new song, TV episode, movie, poem, viral video, smart phone app – anything goes.

Listen to this special Inside Pop episode for all of the details. Beginning October 1st we’ll tweet and post recommended Big Sells. And we want to hear from you! Tweet us using #BigSell30 and tell us what you’ve been trying out.

Throughout the month we’ll have special episodes and special guests who’ll share their Big Sells with all of us.

So join us for the Big Sell 30 Day Challenge and we guarantee at the end of the month you’ll have whiter teeth, increased spiritual awareness and a firmer butt. And also – none of those things. But you will have the experience of feeding your pop culture obsession with great recommendations from fellow fanatics! #BigSell30
