The show was presented by Amanda Keller, with regular appearances by Steve Cannane and Robbie Buck (from the ABC's Triple J radio station). The series irreverently covered elements of popular culture, including movies, music, internet, fashion and marketing or in Keller's words, "the soft underbelly of pop culture".[1]

The program was generally well received by viewers, but critical opinion was somewhat polarised: a Sydney Morning Herald team compiling the newspaper's 2004 "Couch Potato" Awards was divided between those who found the program annoying, and those who found it well-written and entertaining.[2] Some critics also decried that several of the ABC's arts programs were axed to make way for broader, more populist material such as Mondo Thingo.[3]
