Pop Culture Happy Hour is my Morning Podcast Friend and it’s how I start my day on a positive note, every day, for more than a decade. Its continued existence is a gift.

It's important reporting like this story that makes this job worth it.
A monumental sculpture of a massive tush — a big butt, a voluptuous derriere — appeared on the south lawn of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art over the weekend.
