Hey there, I'm Linda Holmes.

Welcome to Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

There's a lot of stuff to watch out there.

Four days a week, we're here to help you figure out what TV show is worthy of your next binge

watch or to unpack the big movie everyone can't stop talking about.

And by we, I mean me, with my fellow hosts, Stephen Thompson, Aisha Harris, and Glenn Weldon,

aka The Core 4.

We're cultural critics for NPR.

We cover TV, movies, music, anything and everything, pop culture.

Whether it's a new TV show, movie, or album,

Pop Culture Happy Hour is here with recommendations to give you a break from the news and help

you find something you'll love. And we often invite in a rotating cast of other

pop culture aficionados inside and outside NPR to join us and share their opinions too.

We do special episodes to talk about the really big stuff like the Oscars and the Grammys and the Super Bowl.

And we do bonus mailbag episodes every month for our Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus supporters

who also get to hear every single episode without sponsor messages.

You can learn more about that at plus.npr.org.

Make sure you follow the show in your podcast app so you always get the latest episode.

And hey, if you like what you hear, do us a favor. Rate and review the show in your podcast app.

That helps other people find us. We hope you stay a while and thank you for checking out
