The new series Laid is a very dark rom-com, or sort of rom-com.

It stars Stephanie Shoe as a young woman who discovers that all of her exes have started to die under mysterious, sometimes freakish circumstances.

This causes her to conduct a kind of sexual audit of her life, and she sets out to warn everyone she's ever slept with that they are about to die.

It's funnier than that sounds and may make a good holiday hangover binge.

I'm Glenn Weldon, and we're talking about the Peacock series Laid on this episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

All this year, NPR traveled the country, hearing from voters not just about the issues,

We should be able to disagree with each other without bullying each other into submission.

And what it means to be a part of a democracy.
