Nobody knows pop culture better than Linda Holmes, one of the hosts of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, and culture doesn’t get much more pop than the nineties teen prime time soap Beverly Hills, 90210. Let Linda guide you to sleep while she introduces you to Brandon, Brenda, Kelly, Steve, Donna, and even Scott, who we frankly didn’t even know existed until Linda told us about him. We also challenge Linda to tell us, in the calmest and most soothing way possible, about the car bomb that killed Dylan’s dad. Linda Holmes has the honor of being the first returning guest on Sleeping with Celebrities and if you’re still awake after this episode, go back and listen to her give the full scoop on Melrose Place.

Learn more about Linda, her writing, and her podcasts by visiting her website, www.ThisIsLindaHolmes.com. Get your copy of Linda's newest novel, Back After This, wherever books are sold.

Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?
