In this week’s episode of TribLIVE Extra’s “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss Pittsburgh pop culture news of the moment, including Sunday’s Emmy Awards and new fall series.

How well did the Emmys play? Has the “Ted Lasso” love gone overboard or is that just a problem on Twitter, which does not reflect the real world? Why were the #EmmysSoWhite this year given the diversity of the nominations?

Is Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” back in fine form or does it need a rewrite? How does the new season of “Dexter” look and what are the best of the new broadcast series?

And in local TV, what does the return of Jackie Cain, former WTAE-TV news anchor, portend, if anything?
