Drop It Like It's Pop
What happens when a French Armenian guy and an Aussie gal get together to discuss their favourite topic? They drop it like it's pop!
Join best friends Vicken and Georgie as they bring their own lens of journalism (Vicken) and PR (Georgie) to some of the biggest stories and names in pop culture (and maybe some not so well known stories).
While we can't guarantee they will always agree, we can guarantee they will put their heart and soul into each conversation.
Expect some 'robust' conversations, polite disagreements, old school throwbacks and references and lots of laughs along the way.
We are unfiltered, unedited, raw and ready for any topic!
