Pop Culture Happy Hour NPR Podcast
Covers trending pop culture stories

John Stewart leaving the “Daily Show.”

1.)   Audio only. One host and guest very informal.
2.)   Feels like two friends talking. Very opinionated.
3.)   Felt disconnected, like an outsider just listening.
4.)   Not enjoyable, prefer visuals
5.)   Probably would not revisit podcast cast.

6.)   Sound quality was excellent.
