This week on Pop Culture Happy Hour, NPR’s Linda Holmes, Stephen Thompson, Glen Weldon and guest Tanya Ballard Brown talk about various Halloween topics. Candy corn, yay or nay? Should one dress their dog or cat in costume? Also, traumatic parental costuming decisions and why the holiday has become less scary for kids. Next, they talk about the concept of “good taste.” Is there such a thing and who’s in a position to say what it might be? All that plus, What’s Making Us Happy this week, including Macklemore, ‘Nashville,’ ‘Adventure Time’ and a book about Weird Al.
