If you've ever posted a famous person's picture inside a locker or used it as a phone wallpaper

or if you've ever followed every moment of someone's career while sying over their

talent or beauty or great hair, you know all about pop culture crushes.

There are the ones you're proud of later, the ones you're less proud of later, and the

ones that never quite go away.

I'm Stephen Thompson and I'm Linda Holmes and today we're talking about some of our

first pop culture crushes on pop culture happy hour from NPR.

Here with me and Stephen from his home studio bunker is Glen Weldon of NPR's Culture

Desk, Hey Glen.

Hey Linda.

crushes very early on.

I liked the boys.
