Rec. #571: Linda Holmes as Host of Pop Culture Happy Hour



What: The podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour is pretty much exactly what it sounds like --- a small group of people get together and chat about a given pop culture topic. Now twice a week, the show is masterfully facilitated by Linda Holmes, a pop culture writer/editor for NPR.

It wasn't until I started noticing how many people are bad at hosting that I truly appreciated how good Holmes is in the role. As a host, she's generous, collegial, self-deprecating, and smart. (Also, as I tweeted in April, she is often the most right.)

How to get it: PCHH releases episodes twice a week, once early in the week and once on Fridays. The Friday episodes include the "What's Making Us Happy" segment, which, let's face it, we all need.
