New Music in July! (Madonna, Ariana, Syd, FLO...),The Proud Family's Cultural Impact | Like Us Pod Ep 10

This week on Like Us Pod, we're breaking down the biggest new music releases coming in July, sharing the albums we're most excited about, and debating who might own the soundtrack of the summer.From Syd, Gracie Abrams, Ariana Grande to FLO and Kelela. We're talking about the artists we're adding to our playlists this summe...including the playful back-and-forth between Madonna and Charli XCX over whether "the dance floor is dead."We also give The Proud Family its flowers as the Disney+ revival heads into its final season.

We look back at why Penny Proud and the crew became such a cultural touchstone and the unique ways the series reflected Black family and why they resonate with audiences today.In Sporty & Cute, we're spotlighting Black women making waves in surfing and talking about why visibility in water sports matters. Danielle reflects on growing up playing water polo, Erin brings her perspective as our resident beach lover, and together they sound off on swim tests, beach culture, and why swimming with a buddy isn't just something adults tell kids!

And as always, there are tons of pop culture tangents, plenty of laughs, and the kind of entertainment conversations that somehow go from chart-topping albums to life lessons in the shallow end.**In this episode:*** The Proud Family's Cultural Impact* The biggest new music releases of July* Gracie Abrams, Ariana Grande, Syd, FLO, Kelela & Madonna* Madonna vs. Charli xcx: Is the dance floor dead?* Black women in surfing & water sports* Swim safety, beach culture & sister stories* Pop culture, music, entertainment news & comedy------Theme Song: Like That/Chit Chat Produced by Danielle with sounds from Splice/Rave House by Audentity RecordsAudio Mastered with HyFi/MusikHack - Erin and Danielle on Socials:Erin - YouTube - ‪@erinjones-wesley‬ | TikTok/IG - @erinjoneswesleyDanielle - IG/TikTok - @disfordanie
