This week’s episode of Popcast (Deluxe), the weekly culture roundup show on YouTube hosted by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, includes segments on:

• The recent scourge of concertgoers throwing things at pop stars onstage and how Adele, Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha, Drake and others have responded; plus the ways in which the stage/crowd barrier has become more porous in recent years, in both directions

• The TikTok streamer Pinkydoll, who has honed an NPC-style of performance that has been earning her thousands of viewers, and thousands of dollars

• New songs from Troye Sivan and Militarie Gun (as performed by Post Malone)

• Whether there’s still a Mason-Dixon line divide in pop music consumption, especially as it relates to hip-hop and country

• Snack of the week
