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 why DISH Network likely dropped AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh.

The pair also do a deep dive on “Dopesick,” the new Hulu limited series about the opioid crisis starring Pittsburgh native Michael Keaton.

What is a “Squid Game” and is it played by squid? The duo discuss the Netflix social media hit and what the story seems to be about (think: “The Hunger Games”).

How does Disney+’s “Muppets Haunted Mansion” stack up alongside recent Muppet productions? And who’s the latest reporter hired at KDKA-TV?

Listen to Pittsburgh Pop on the TribLIVE Podcast Network and on iTunes.
