Join us for this encore presentation of our ode to the handwritten letter and you'll get an all new intro conversation about an important anniversary: Hello Kitty just turned 50 years old. 😮 Not even kidding! And that little Gen X icon has a surprising connection to the letters of our youth. We might also digress into a rant about the state of modern day Christmas cards. Heads up: we have OPINIONS. Maybe that's proof of how vital letterwriting was to our Gen X experience; before email and texting there was only one way to keep in touch with our important people that didn't involve long-distance charges (which your dad said was "highway robbery!") -- we put pen to paper and poured our hearts out in ways we would never do via text. Grandparents, pen pals, camp friends, and boyfriends/girlfriends, our relationships to all of them were nurtured and deepened by the handwritten word. Join us for our stories, your stories, and lots of hilarious readings of pubescent yearning and shenanigans.

We’re celebrating our 200th EPISODE by revisiting all the traumas from the TV movies of our GenX youth (naturally). But before we get to our meaty conversation devoted to this very special art form that was low on budget but high on love triangles, deadly diseases, dying parents, killer bees, and so, so many hostages, we’re bringing you an all NEW opening conversation where we contemplate (yet again) how one of the most comforting shows of our youth — Little House on The Prairie — was also one of the most traumatic. What were Melissa Gilbert’s most troubling episodes? Oh, don’t worry, we asked her! (You’ll be nodding your head in agreement — count on it.) And then we’re acknowledging our 200th episode milestone … with a lot of disbelief and, of course, gratitude.

In honor of Land of The Lost’s 50th anniversary, were jumping back in that yellow raft with our friend Wesley Eure (who played Will Marshall on the iconic Saturday morning show) with an encore of our 2023 conversation PLUS a new intro about bare-breasted puppetry (you’ll just need to listen). Then join us as Wesley blows our minds with information about the Saturday morning staple that we didn’t know, gives us funny Sleestak intel, shares fun and heartwarming stories about his Land of The Lost family, tells us about the show that our own kids loved that he was (in part) responsible for, Dragon Tales, and so much more! No Grumpys here — just a great and fun conversation!
