Kate Sullivan & Pop Vultures

Introduction to the Pop Vultures
(From the Public Radio Exchange) [Page no longer exists]
Simply put, Pop Vultures is a radio show where music freaks argue the finer points of pop music appreciation. Our job, which we undertake with the utmost seriousness is to obsess over pop music so you don’t have to. If you’d like to impress your kids or sound like you know what you’re talking about at parties, we’re your one-stop shop for practically meaningless trivia and an endless stream of band names ripe for the dropping. We’re not here to tell you how to think or who to like, though we’ll try relentlessly to do so. Instead, we’re here to wax gassy over our fave raves, possibly cheese you off, and mostly give you an undeniable reason to waste thirty minutes you might otherwise spend listening to Radiohead.

About Host Kate Sullivan
Kate Sullivan was born and raised in Los Angeles, but has also lived through numerous winters in Eastern Europe and Minnesota, which she feels gives her drinking a poetic “edge.” Kate’s father was a music critic at the NY Times when she was but a preconceived notion; this probably affected her drinking, too. Kate has written about music for Spin, Blender, Rollingstone.com, The New York Times Magazine, Da Capo Best Music Writing 2002, LA Weekly, City Pages, Los Angeles Magazine, Nylon, Black Book, Seventeen, Nerve.com, Teen People, et al. However, her “Rockblog” is her favorite place to publish (katesullivan.blogspot.com). Kate’s journalistic career began at Prognosis, the first English-language newspaper in post-Communist Czechoslovakia. She lives in Los Angeles with her dog, Toby, a.k.a. “Spookytooth.”
