Listen to me talk about Pope memes on the 21st Show!
This was such a fun conversation. Thank you for having my on the show!
It's safe to say that the announcement of Pope Leo XVI broke the internet, especially among Illinois. We speak with @zidani.bsky.social of Northwestern University and Justin Kaufmann with Axios Chicago about this phenomenon and explore our favorite memes.
