More Than You Think is a podcast that explores the deeper layers of pop culture, uncovering how today’s trends connect with the political, economic, and social climate shaping our world. Each episode dives into the ways music, media, and cultural moments reflect — and influence — the society we live in. In this episode, our host, Valerie, discusses how the 2025 song of the summer reflects the rise of conservative art criticism and how Sydney Sweeney’s controversial ads reveal Hollywood’s attempt to cater to conservative audiences in the wake of Trump’s return to office.
