This weekend is the third anniversary of the relaunch of Popculturology.
When I started producing Popculturology as a newsletter, I just wanted to have chance to write up my thoughts on pop culture. I never envisioned that those early editions would eventually lead to where this site is today.
Snackology celebrated its one-year anniversary at the beginning of September. Over the past few months, I’ve elevated that newsletter, upping the quality of photos in each new post. In March, I pulled Popculturology and Snackology together under The Omnicosm. And this fall, Deep SNL Thoughts took on an expanded presence on the site, adding SNL news to the established episode recaps.
In September, I finally put through a redesign of The Omnicosm’s website, moving beyond the basic template that Ghost makes available to creators. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, it’s especially great on desktop.
Another change you might’ve noticed is the recent return of the (slightly modified) original Popculturology logo. This is the logo that anchored Popculturology in its previous life before going on hiatus and later reborn as a newsletter in 2022. Yes, I know that I just launched the last logo redesign earlier this year, but whenever I came across the classic logo, I couldn’t help but thinking that this is what Popculturology feels like.
Thanks to each and every person who reads these three publications, I’ve been able to build something that I hope brings you all some joy. That’s the goal with The Omnicosm: To cover the things that make life fun. Pop culture, movies, TV shows, snacks and more.
If you’ve enjoyed the work I’ve done on Popculturology, Deep SNL Thoughts and Snackology over the past few years, please consider becoming a supporter of the site. Everything I’ve put into The Omnicosm has been done as a hobby, and for $5 a month or $50 a year, you can help support that hobby and cover things like hosting this site or buying a bunch of Oreo flavors.
