  • Like getting together every week with friends

    Life is stressful right now, and I really appreciate what these ladies bring to me every week: an opportunity to think back on the shows, music, and toys of my childhood. My sister and I are both loyal listeners and almost every episode spawns a conversation between us, remembering our own special stories.
