Name! That! Podcast!

My podcast network is piloting a pop culture panel show. Chat about culture high and low, fun and funny and well-informed. It needs a name. What have you got? Pithy and understandable on first glance really helps. If we use yours, we will credit you and send you a box of maximumfun.org stuff from our prize closet :).
Is Pop Panel too boring/obvious?

Response by poster: Honestly, Pop Panel isn't at all too boring or obvious. When you're naming a podcast, having the name actually convey the content of the show really helps.

I like Pop Panel, but does it sound too music-specific? Pop Culture Panel?

If you call it "Pop Culture Panel" then you can make a bunch of terrible jokes about being "on PCP."

If it's a quiz-style panel show, how about Pop Quiz? Or, the somewhat less catchy Pop Culture Quiz.

Pop Smart
There's a brand of popcorn called Smart Pop! which might be a negative, but the name references pop culture and knowledge. And it reminds me of Pop-Tarts.

In an old JJHo podcast, I think he came up with the name "Cult Refs" for cultural references, but I think it also has a double meaning of culture referees.

"Boner from Growing Pains"
Use only if you want to be a little non sequitur and goofy.
That phrase is always good for a giggle. I use it occasionally for pub trivia team names, or wifi names.

Wainscoting
Ok, maybe that doesn't immediately read, but here's the logic behind it:
It's a type of paneling,
low on the wall but of high quality material,
can be functional and/or decorative,
from "wagon" and "partition" (as in bandwagon and that which either separates us or holds up our collective shelter),
and a term for a type of fantasy fiction that involves societies functioning below the radar but with power over the masses.
So there's various combinations of high and low in literal and figurative senses, panels, something behind the panels (be it an agenda humorous, insidious, or both) and it rhymes with trainspotting. Perhaps the addition of flocking would add a jaunty note of frivolity, making it "Flocking Wainscoting" like "Farging Iceholes." Also, I just may need to flock something.
