  • "The Reincarnation of Nellie Pt. 1" RECAP!

    "The Reincarnation of Nellie Pt. 1" RECAP!
    Mar 19 2026
    We’re diving into Season 8’s opener, “The Reincarnation of Nellie – Part 1,” an episode that wastes no time asking: what if we solved emotional problems… with deeply questionable decisions?

    First shocking news--Nellie and Percival are officially in New York and--surprise!--NEVER COMING BACK. And Harriet Oleson is not handling it well. So naturally, the solution is: adopt a child immediately. No therapy, no hobbies, no self-reflection—just a full human being to fill the Nellie-shaped void. What could possibly go wrong?

    Enter Nancy, a sweet-faced orphan who—within approximately 30 seconds—sets off every alarm bell known to man. Except, of course, for Harriet, who sees only potential and maybe a chance to relive her glory days of raising a menace.

    The episode also hits viewers with another big shift: Goodbye to Mary and Adam...FOREVER! A noticeable absence that makes Nancy’s arrival feel even more like a “here we go” moment.

    Nancy, for her part, wastes zero time stepping into Nellie’s legacy. The lies are sharper, the manipulation is colder, and the vibes are… unsettling. And Harriet’s determined not to notice. Choices? Everywhere. Bad parenting? Thriving. Part 1 is messy, chaotic, and full of “wait, they did WHAT?” energy—and honestly, we’re kind of here for it.

    Then, join us on Patreon where we discuss the caveats of being a child actor. Does it benefit them in the long run? Is it more for the parents than it is for the child? Can a child even really consent? (The anser is NO). We discuss it all.

  • The Blizzard Final_1

    The Blizzard Final_1
    Mar 12 2026
    Bundle up, Walnut Grove fans — this week we’re revisiting one of the most intense winter episodes of Little House on the Prairie: “The Blizzard.” Or as Charlotte Stewart likes to call it, "Miss Beadle Kills the Kids".

    A sudden storm hits while the children are at school, turning into… the worst Christmas Eve ever. Miss Beadle makes the well-intentioned decision to let the kids walk home before the storm gets too rough… which, depending on how you look at it, is either a brave leadership choice or a brief moment where the entire class nearly gets accidentally yeeted into the afterlife by their teacher. Frontier education was clearly a high-risk profession. Guess which way it went? (clue: badly!)

    Meanwhile, the adults in Walnut Grove realize the children are missing and head out into the brutal conditions to search for them. The townspeople face the very real danger of a prairie blizzard — a reminder of just how treacherous winter could be on the frontier.

    It’s a suspenseful, emotional episode that captures both the danger of prairie life and the strength of a community that refuses to leave anyone behind. We talk about the history of real prairie blizzards, the memorable moments inside that crowded schoolhouse, and why this chilly Christmas episode still stands out as one of the series’ most unforgettable.

    So grab a blanket and your best Gore-Tex, and join us as we ride out “The Blizzard.”

  • “Bob, Get the Wig!” — The Man Behind the Legend

    “Bob, Get the Wig!” — The Man Behind the Legend
    Mar 5 2026
    You asked, you waited, and he’s finally here — our most requested guest: Bob. Yes, that Bob. The man behind the now-iconic line, “Bob, get the wig!” and the brave soul who married Walnut Grove’s most notorious troublemaker, Nellie Oleson — known to the world, of course, as our Prairie Bitch, Alison.

    In this heartfelt (and very funny) episode, Bob shares the sweet and surprisingly down-to-earth story of how he and Alison met and fell in love. Spoiler: real life involves far fewer tantrums and significantly fewer ringlets.

    We also talk about Bob’s meaningful work with the AIDS Project Los Angeles helpline during the height of the AIDS crisis — a moving chapter that shaped his life and reflects the compassion at the core of their partnership.

    And yes, we get into the moment his family and friends found out he was marrying the woman who once terrorized Laura Ingalls on national television. The reactions? Let’s just say there may have been some pearl-clutching.

    It’s an episode full of humor, heart, and the reminder that behind every great Prairie “villain” is a very patient, very lovely husband. And Bob — thanks for getting the wig.

    Then join us on Patreon, where Pamela, Alison, and Dean share stories about their significant others and how they support us as crazy artists. It's fun, funny, very personal, and heartfelt.

I watched Little House all the way through for the first time in 2024 and found this podcast during my viewing. Pamela, Dean and Alison do such an incredible job with their content. I've listened to every episode and highly anticipate the upcoming ones! keep it up!

In LOVE with this Podcast!!

It is great to listen to Allison and Dean and hear about what was happening or what they think of each episode. Pamela Bob, however, makes it almost unlistenable. She never stops talking. She interrupts and talks over everyone including guests. There are a lot of superfans out there. Surely, they could find a much better cohost. I have turned off episodes because she made them so excruciatingly boring. The podcast would be five stars without her.

Love Little House
