Support your local NPR station today.
At Pop Culture Happy Hour, we pride ourselves on telling you about all the things we think will entertain or fascinate you. We scour Netflix and movie listings; we try out podcasts and plays and music. And today, I’m writing about something I hope we can ask you to do.
We started PCHH outside of the traditional NPR formats, but that doesn’t mean we don’t rely on a lot of the same framework as shows like Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Our producers trained on the radio. We tape in radio studios. And we benefit from the advice and the friendship of people who work all over NPR. And the work that they do, and the work we all do, is supported by the people who listen — when they give to their local NPR station.
I really hope you know your station well — local news has never been more critical, and public radio is one of the places that still invests heavily in it. I hope your station has what it needs to bring you the news from your town and your state, where legislators and regulators affect so much of what happens to you and where problems that people from far away might not understand are right under your nose. But whether you’re a longtime listener to your station or whether you’re just discovering it, if you listen to NPR — including podcasts like Pop Culture Happy Hour — you can support that work by giving to your station. That’s the support that helps run the whole system, and that’s the system we use to make our show.

We’re glad that so much of our support comes from you, from what you can spare to build the coverage you care about. Not every operation in media can rely directly on listeners and readers to keep the lights on, the producers paid, the studios booked, the equipment maintained. When you give to your local station, you make these things happen, for journalists in your own community and for us here at NPR.
If you’re already a supporter of your station, imagine me giving you a giant high-five right now. You help us argue about movies and bring in new voices; you help us put on live events and send out this newsletter. And if you’re not yet, maybe this is the day. Your support will be, I promise you, what’s making me happy this week.
