     All the Background Doohickeys at NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts with Stephen Thompson

     Stephen Thompson is one of the co-hosts of NPR’s delightful Pop Culture Happy Hour and one of the founders of the Tiny Desk Concerts, which has played host to some of the biggest names in music playing in a very small corner of an office floor of cubicles. Stephen fills us in on what’s back there now, what has always been there from the start, and what used to be there but got eaten by rats during covid, forcing some policy adjustments.
