In this episode of the “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss Pittsburgh pop culture news of the moment, including the dismissal of Dave Crawley’s lawsuit against KDKA-TV.

The pair discuss Metallica’s role in “Stranger Things” and the death of actress Nichelle Nichols, best known for her role as communications officer Uhura in the original “Star Trek.”

Benz offers his take on ESPN’s “The Great Imposter and Me” and Owen gets into why a Bethel Park native is MIA as a series regular in the new season of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” and endorses season two of “Reservation Dogs,” which he also liked in its first season.
