Nothing instills FOMO in the hearts of nerds like Pop-Up Magazine. The live magazine travels the country presenting nonfiction stories formatted for the stage. But here’s the thing: You won’t find these documentaries on YouTube. These audio stories won’t grace your favorite podcast feeds, and you won’t be able to read these articles in newspapers and magazines. Like a play or a concert, these stories only live on in the collective memories of their audiences. At previous shows I have laughed, cried, and sung “Don’t Stop Believing” with Pop-Up’s live band. Monday’s show promises more of the same, but also to be completely different. The stories Pop-Up produces change with every tour, and even from city to city. The D.C. stop will feature Pop-Up veterans and newbies, a writer for The Good Place, a National Geographic photographer, and plenty of podcasters. You won’t want to miss out, fellow nerds.
