The season 6 cast of “This Is Us:” Sterling K. Brown as Randall, Susan Kelechi Watson as Beth, Milo Ventimiglia as Jack, Mandy Moore as Rebecca, Justin Hartley as Kevin, Chrissy Metz as Kate and Chris Sullivan as Toby.

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 why some Penguins games are no longer on cable and have moved to Hulu and/or ESPN+.

There’s also conversation about what might happen if The CW network gets sold.

The pair discuss their newfound appreciation for “The Book of Boba Fett” after episode two – a character snorting a lizard up his nose notwithstanding – and the beginning of the end of partially Pittsburgh-set “This is Us.”
