Today's Poll: How Many Stars for Bad Bunny's Halftime Show?

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "How many stars for Bad Bunny's half time show?" Michael reflects on the Super Bowl as one of the last shared cultural experiences in America, which is the basis for his thinking behind today's poll question. He explains why Bad Bunny’s halftime performance was less about politics and more about global market forces, the NFL’s international ambitions, and shifting cultural norms. Listen as Michael explores the idea of monoculture, unity, and whether it’s fair to want the Super Bowl to remain linguistically and culturally familiar. He also shares his own rating of the show—and why he landed where he did. Listen, and then rate, review, and share this podcast! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
