With this method, the popping is reasonably quick, and the temperature fairly consistent, so, despite the advice seemingly everywhere in the internet, high temp oil isn’t actually necessary. Be careful and you can use olive oil (though that tastes a bit weird) or even butter.

I use clarified butter since it has a higher melting point, and it even flavors the popcorn.

Agreed, I do sometimes pop with olive oil and it turns out without burning.
