About this listen

 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.

    Your Heart Is a Muscle - Guest Sunil Yapa
    Mar 14 2016
    In this episode, Malayna and Stacy talk with Sunil Yapa, author of the novel Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of a Fist. Set in the midst of the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, his book squeezes global issues into a handful of passionate characters that took their stand at this historic event. And he’s Sri Lankan-American, like Malayna! We’ll explore how we can use our hearts, not as fists, but as points of connection as we work together to transform our world.

  • In the Space Between

    In the Space Between
    Mar 7 2016
    What happens in the space between two people in an interaction? Between several people? In the space between thoughts, breaths, heartbeats, or in the gap between here and there, Spirit is moving, and all things are possible. In between our plans and what actually happens, there is space for magic to transform each moment. Join Malayna and team member Michele Coles as they explore pop culture mythology for examples of what can happen when we make the most of the space between.(Original air date March 7, 2016)
