Host/Producer

My name is Amy Lewis and I am a native Midwesterner who has called Maine home for over 15 years! I have been incredibly passionate about podcasting since the early days. I am a huge Walt Disney World fan so I figured there must be other Disney nerds like me out there and I came to find out, I was right! Thus began a deep dive into listening to hundreds of hours worth of Disney podcasts. The subject matter of what I listen to has expanded quite a bit at this point, but that's what got me hooked on podcasts. Outside of the show, I am married to my best friend, Mandy. We have two children, Anderson and Kai. My family keeps me pretty busy, but when I am not with them, I own my own photography business - Amy Lewis Photography (www.amylewisphotos.com). I started the Pop Culture Retrospective Podcast in May of 2020 as a way of dealing with the unexpected and tragic passing of my sister, Rebecca. This show is my love letter to her.
