On a professional level, I started concentrating on writing about pop culture in the early 2010s. My career had taken me into graphic design, but I wanted to find a way to keep writing. That desire led to The Bill Kuchman Chronicle, a website that focused on pop culture, movies and TV shows — all things I love a ton.
The Bill Kuchman Chronicle evolved into Popculturology, a site that continued to focus on pop culture while also bringing in new authors. For a period, Popculturology ran a series of columns called Pop-Eds. This required me to coordinate writers, edit their columns and maintain a posting schedule.
Over the few years I ran the site, I wrote over 3,000 posts for Popculturology, cranking out content at a high level. I retired Popculturology at the end of 2015, ready to take on new challenges.
In 2012, the editor of CBS Interactive's TV.com contacted me about working on a freelance basis with her site. My work on The Bill Kuchman Chronicle/Popculturology had caught her attention. During How I Met Your Mother's eighth season, I wrote extensively about the show for TV.com and became one of the Internet's leading HIMYM conspiracy theorists.
Here are a few featured pieces from my time writing on the Internet.

Of course, there's a lot more to the work I've done on Popculturology and TV.com.
I self-published my first book in August 2016, releasing The Ghost and the Balloon through Amazon's Kindle Digital Publishing platform. A print edition is in the works.
