If you’re a pop culture genius who’s brilliant at holding a conversation, you could now be hired to prepare people for small talk at events or when socialising and dating.
The new service has been launched by local services marketplace Bark.com, in light of the new Game of Thrones season showing, which can take over two days and 17 hours to catch up on.
Members of the public can hire a Pop Culture Coach for around £35 an hour, to get them up to speed with the latest trends.
Pop Culture Coaches can be hired by anyone who may need to prepare for small talk at events or when socialising and dating.
Those hiring a coach will be able to choose from a selection of popular shows, sports, music or a mixture of general knowledge to help them learn how to keep a conversation going.
The service will cost £35 an hour, and clients can opt for an additional ‘on-call’ service, where you can text a coach for an instant conversation saviour.
To be a Pop Culture Coach you must be up to date with TV series and any topic your client desires. You must also demonstrate your knowledge in an initial briefing with the client.
So, you may need to take some time out to expand your knowledge of various subjects if you want to be any good at this job.
Kai Feller, Bark.com co-founder, said: ‘With so much media for us to consume, it can almost feel overwhelming to not only keep up with it all, but to be seen to have an opinion, there are only 24 hours in the day after all. We hope that this new service can help ease some of the anxieties associated with having to socialise and always needing to find something to talk about.
‘This is a dream job for sport or TV buffs. You’re literally getting paid to talk about your favourite things, whether it be the Premier League, the Masters, Game of Thrones or Killing Eve. If you have knowledge on a pop culture topic, sign up!’
