Keep It

A show about pop culture, politics, and what happens when they smack into each other at alarming speed.

Movies! Music! Celebrities embarrassing themselves! KEEP IT has it all. 

Each week, Ira Madison III, Louis Virtel, and Aida Osman are joined by comedians, journalists, actors, musicians, activists, politicians and more to discuss the latest ways pop culture and entertainment are intersecting with politics and society. Expect accents (is that Catherine Deneuve?!), Oscars trivia, and endless amounts of shade. New episodes drop every Wednesday.
