Pop Conscious: Connecting Entertainment and Enlightenment!
**These are archived episodes that were shared on the former Unity Online Radio, also known as Unity.FM.**
We talk about how we can find inspiration, spiritual themes and a deeper meaning in television, films, music, books, comic books, the internet and the arts. We look at how it affects our culture, ways our lives are enriched by all of it.
Pop culture is defined by the Oxford dictionary as “modern popular culture transmitted via mass media and aimed particularly at younger people.” But can it be meaningful? Spiritual, even? The hosts of “Pop Conscious” think it can be, and that it can be fun to explore too! Malayna Dawn and Stacy Macris Ros will be your amateur cultural anthropologists, examining pop culture and spirituality.

28 JAN 2014 · Our Pop Conscious gals, Stacy and Malayna, offer steps and examples about how to be the consumer, but not be consumed by movies, television, music, and online entertainment. Take control and let it all enrich your life rather than letting it take control of your brain.
We can be in the world but not of the world and make everything a reflection of spiritual principle!
Guilty pop pleasures like The Bachelor or Twilight lead us to examine social evolution and inner demons; the Grammy’s lead us to marvel at how music can bring the world and generations together. We look at examining our radio presets, DVR’d shows, and phone apps for patterns and how Cirque du Soleil confirms that “with God all things are possible.” We talk about Arthur C. Clarke and when sci-fi become science reality and how observation, discernment, and choice help us create the life we want to live.

4 FEB 2014 · Malayna and Stacy are looking back on an action-packed February 2 in which we celebrate Super Bowl Sunday to find more than might be expected behind the sports, advertising, and half-time performances and reflect on the lessons of the movie Groundhog Day.
As a fan of Bruno Mars, Stacy had to share her love, and that the country is certainly now on board. Malayna talked about inspiring sports films, which is her main way of watching any sport. And her experience of Superbowl Ads and Halftime Shows as viral videos while living abroad. And of course, her love of the movie Groundhog Day and how all faiths seem to have embraced it as an example of what they believe.
