I'm asking people what they were obsessed with as kids. A lot of kids fixate on something, a movie, or game, or book, or whatever. I'm asking friends to revisit the things they couldn’t put down, and trying to figure out what they mean to them now.

We watched the 1974 Freaky Friday and the 2003 Freaky Friday. And then we had a boomer vs millennial battle to the death. Yolanda's podcast is called …

I read mythology stories incessantly as a kid. Most of the books I loved were the guide-to's and encyclopedias and stuff like that. As far as I can tell, that's not uncommon, and the natural extension of that interest is of course Percy Jackson & the Olympians, a middle-grade greek mythology novel series.Alana Herrnson loves the Percy Jackson & The…

BJ Tindal and I went to school together, and he was one of those kids that always seemed like he knew what he wanted to do with his life. He started playwriting in middle school, but that wasn't all he was writing~~~ my guy was blowing up those Pokémon forums. If you're interested in reading his fan-fiction, you can find it here: http://www.fanfict…

Tucker wanted to talk about the Iraq War, but I think by the time I finished recording and editing the episode, a couple more things were clear.

Also I don't think we ever clearly explained the plot (sorry!) so here's the wiki summary: Chicago centers on Roxie Hart (Zellweger) and Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones) two murderesses who find themselves in jail together awaiting trial in 1920s Chicago. Roxie, a housewife, and Ve…

I grew up reading Tamora Pierce novels obsessively as a kid, but this show is about my friends and what they liked, so I found someone else who read her books and became friends with them. Elle listened to the audiobooks for The Immortals series a lot with her cousins in the car, but now she has to read them as an adult, and think about them will a…

We've all had that one movie that we woke up early to watch every day before going to school, and for Patrick that was Space Jam. Second only to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Space Jam takes the stardom of Michael Jordan and pairs it with the Looney Tunes to make a cinematic experience best enjoyed below the age of 12. Hey look I had a lot of fun watchi…

Nothing smells like Americana like cracking open an issue of the children's novel series The Baby-Sitters Club. And nothing else smells like Americana than a long history of genocide, colonization, and slavery. But how do you teach children about that? Deena and I read The Baby-Sitter's Club's approach in "Keep Out, Claudia!" to try to figure it al…

I ask my friend Madeleine about the time she wouldn't stop watching the 1992 documentary Titanica. Titanica is about discovering the wreckage of the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean where it rests, plus it inspired James Cameron to turn Leonardo DiCaprio into a teenage hearthrob. She tells me what she remembers from the movie (which isn't a lot),…

My friend Shreshth was a big reader as a kid, he loved some old British stuff and some old Belgian stuff. He particularly gravitated towards kids detective and mystery stories, and no one is as plucky or nosy as young journalist extraordinaire Tintin. Coming from the great Belgian tradition of racism and colonization the Adventures of Tintin have b…
