It's just about summer and we hope that means you're in for a future filled with sunshine, vacations, downtime with friends, and of course summer entertainment. I'm Stephen Thompson and today

on NPR's pop culture happy hour we offer up a guide to some of the most exciting TV

movies and music you can check out this summer.

Joining me are all of my fellow pop culture happy hour hosts, Aisha Harris.

Hey Aisha, Peebeep, boo, we are here.

Glen Weldon.

Hey, pal.

It's good to have you, Linda Holmes. Glenn We'llleston. Hey, pal.

It's good to have you, Linda Holmes.

Hello, my friends.

Now, right off the bat, we have a major milestone to celebrate.

The four of us are sitting in Historic Studio 44 at NPR Headquarters in DC

together in person for the very first time.

Yeah.

Accurate, accurate, we're all just breathing all over each other.

I'm just taking this opportunity to like, every time Stephen breathes out, I breathe in.

Give me those droplets baby I am happy. This is unsettling for me.

Could we just do this on Zoom as well?

Just so it's a little more comfortable.

I've just enjoyed getting to hear Aisha Harris test a microphone

for the first time.

Wasn't that fun?
