I'm Linda Holms and I'm Stephen Thompson. There's more stuff to watch and read these days than any one person can get to.

That's why we make pop culture happy hour.

Twice a week we sort through the nonsense, share reactions and give you the lowdown on what's worth your precious time and what's not.

Find pop culture happy hour on the NPR1 app or wherever you get your podcasts.
