You thought you knew the story behind We Are The World, one of the best-selling songs of all time? Watch The Greatest Night in Pop on Netflix and listen to this episode, and we bet you’ll think again. We’re breaking down this incredible documentary story (which sometimes includes way too many main characters!) and bringing you our favorite revelations (Michael’s missing boa constrictor! Stevie’s face-palming suggestion! Dionne’s mysterious visitor! Lionel’s remarkable patience! The sweet and all-too-pure “yearbook” signing party … and so much more). You’ll be singing this beautiful song differently after listening, we promise, and believing that it truly was the greatest night in pop.

If Generation X had a dog, it would (without a doubt) be Benji, the scrappy little terrier who barked his way into our hearts in 1974 … and remains there to this day. Join us as we (rather passionately!) relive this iconic movie scene by scene and bark by bark, still getting traumatized by the sight of those kids in GAGS and that awful KICK (if you know, you know). Does this “most talked-about, highly-acclaimed family picture of our time … maybe of all time” hold up today? Do we think Benji may have been the most underrated actor of our generation? Listen now to find out!

Once upon a time there were three little girls who religiously followed three little girls who went to the police academy. And they were each assigned very hazardous duties – like watching TV and absorbing everything it taught them about being a woman. But growing up took them away from all of that. And now they work for YOU! As podcasters! Where they talk about things like Charlie's Angels, a show that was less procedural and more of an aspirational branding opportunity for girls growing up in the Gen X era. In today's episode, we’ll be saving our childhood identities as crime fighting private investigators with sweet bell bottoms and perfect hair by asking the question: Which one of Charlie’s Angels were you?

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip …” You’re singing the end of that song now, aren’t you? (You’re welcome.) That’s because the TV shows from the 50s and 60s that reran constantly during our Gen X childhoods took up entire afternoons, weekends, and summer vacations. They were our after-school friends, our babysitters, and at times, our surrogate families. And today, decades after they all first aired, they still hold valuable space in our heads and in our hearts. Join us as we rank many of them in a PCPS Top 10 (14) list as voted on by both YOU our listeners, and US (because obviously). Which were our very favorites? Will yours break into the top 3? What will be #1? Listen now to find out!

In part 2 of our tribute to Andy Gibb, we discuss his songs, his frequent duets with the biggest stars in Hollywood, his partnerships (both in the tabloids and IRL), and the true depth of his struggle with mental health -- all of which is spoken about so eloquently by Andy Gibb's only daughter on the only source sanctioned by his estate, officalandygibb.com. There are many sad parts to this story -- but the overwhelming truth is that Andy Gibb was beloved by everyone who knew him. So it is in that spirit that we hold all parts of his story and bring them to you, ensuring his legacy will live on in all of our Gen X hearts.

After three years of requests from listeners, it's finally here -- the PCPS's tribute to one of the biggest teen idols of the Gen X era, Andy Gibb. He was our everything, our everlasting love, and today's episode will introduce his story and delve into his music with the blessing of Andy Gibb's only child, Peta Gibb Weber. From his beginning as a mischievous child in England and Australia to his lightning fast ascension to the top of the charts, we'll dig into both his contribution to our culture and his true humanity as a husband, father, son and little brother. Kristin is Fangirl #1 as we begin our research but Carolyn and Michelle are quickly converted (is it possible to develop a crush on someone who is no longer with us? Just ask Carolyn) and together they revisit the songs from his first album, finding music that might sound even better today than it did in 1977. Andy Gibb's story is not all teen idol dreams, though; and we are not afraid to hold his complicated legacy gently while honoring our own childhood memories. Join us for what we hope will be an honest and loving tribute to not just a childhood hero but also a truly gifted musician and entertainer.

While Michelle hits the slopes to celebrate her birthday, Carolyn and Kristin chat about the staying power of Judy Blume's classic "Forever," the book's cover and the upcoming Netflix series based on the novel. Then stick around for an encore presentation of episode 6, "Judy Blume Forever" where the girls get serious — and silly — about how they were impacted and educated by the book “Forever,” and Kristin shares the story of her incredible meet-up with Queen Judy herself. 

P.S. Our audio quality has come a long way since Episode 6 so please excuse our early attempts ;)

Join us for an encore presentation of AM Radio Gold: 1977, celebrating the songs we heard when AM radio was king, featuring an all new introduction recorded while we prepare for one of our most anticipated episodes ever (hint: okay it's Andy Gibb😲❤️🎉). We'll give you a sneak peek of our thoughts from this very personal and surprisingly emotional topic that will be coming to you next season. Our talk of Andy Gibb then segues quite naturally to the radio hits of 1977, a year that gave us some of the most memorable music in history. But this ep is not a history lesson. It's personal. And the three of us will share the songs WE waited for on the radio. We'll tell you who we were, where we were, and what these songs meant to us. Which song was the soundtrack to Kristin's weenie roast? Which song created a forever-father-daughter-memory? And which song does Carolyn HATE because it's just too scary? And, yes, there will be singing. Lots and lots of singing. Sorry not sorry!

In this week’s episode we’re starting with an all new conversation, gushing over Henry Winkler’s memoir and the man himself, whom we’ve grown to love as so much more than just “The Fonz.” 

Then we’ll replay Episode 83, “Fonzie Loves Pinky." If you say the word "Pinky" to AARP-aged people, they will intuitively respond with this weird snappy-fist-slapping ritual. It's a Gen X reaction honed by the cultural phenomenon knows as Pinky Tuscadero. Join us as we revisit the Happy Days episode that gave us Pinky and cemented itself in the hearts of Gen Xers for all eternity -- Fonzie Loves Pinky. Who was Pinky and why did a nation of children fall under her spell? Why was she only on the show for THREE episodes?! And what actually happened in the episode? Does anyone even remember? Grab a pink scarf, tie it around your neck, and let's go deep on this demolition derby of a Gen X pop culture supernova of a topic.

Following our Kramer vs. Kramer episode, we take an even deeper dive with someone who was obsessed with the movie at just ten years old: Priscilla Gilman, author of The Critic's Daughter, a memoir that dissects her experience of her parents' divorce, will join us to give her take on the movie and why it resonated so hard with her at such a young age. Her story is uniquely hers but statistics show that at least half of you will find it shockingly familiar. The first children of divorce are in their forties and fifties now and it's become clear that we Gen Xers were the canaries in the coal mine. Whether it was you, your friends, or your neighbors, divorce touched us all.

Kramer vs. Kramer, the divorce drama starring Dustin Hoffman and a young Meryl Streep, opened on December 19, 1979 and quickly became more than a movie; it was, according to Vanity Fair, a cultural benchmark, a snapshot of the fractured American family. If statistics hold true, that applies to roughly half of you. Even if your parents were married in 1979, it's possible you learned about divorce when more and more of your friends and classmates lived with their single moms. We Gen Xers were the first kids of divorce and no one had a rule book. Today we'll talk about what this very adult movie meant to kids like us and how the making of the movie may have been as traumatic as divorce itself. We'll dish about the acting, the acrimony, and the Oscars; Kramer vs. Kramer gave Meryl Streep her first Oscar but were it not for some twists of fate, this role may have had a more "angelic" presence (wink wink). Listen today for the dirt, the discussion and the discoveries.

Author Amy Weinland Daughters is back with us, telling us about that time she went crazy and wrote a HANDWRITTEN letter to all 580 of her Facebook Friends (which is the basis for her book, "Dear Dana, that time I went crazy and wrote a handwritten letter to all 580 of my Facebook friends”). We talk about why (and how!) this project began, the response from the recipients, and why — surprisingly — it was most meaningful to the letter WRITER. You won't believe this amazingly heartwarming story, and we promise it will make you want to grab some Snoopy stationery and some Mrs. Grossman’s stickers and write to an old friend!

Letterwriting is the topic that took the PCPS by storm! When we asked you for your thoughts and stories about the letters you wrote and received growing up, we got more responses than any other topic to date. This certainly validates our assertion that letterwriting was vital to the 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.

Variety shows were as much a part of 1970s television as reality shows were a part of the early 21st century, and today we’re saving two of the most iconic — The Carol Burnett Show and Sonny & Cher, plus one very short-lived YET STILL ICONIC show for us GenXers, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour (which may or may not have been created in a drug-induced fever dream). Listen for lots of fun facts about these unforgettable shows that were such cultural touchstones for us 70skids, as well as memories of many of the skits, songs, and silliness that still bring us such joy today. “And The Beat (most definitely) Goes On …”

Today we’re saving many of the things from our youth that our own kids’ generations will never understand … like what the heck a phone book is (not to mention how to use it). From smoking sections on airplanes (why bother??) to having to WAIT for your favorite song to play (the agony!) to the migraines the microfiche machine triggered (and which the memory still does), we’re breaking down some of the staples of our childhoods that continue to puzzle the most recent generations. But really, how did we survive without computers to do all our work for us? And here’s a head-scratcher: was it better?

In today's episode, we’ll be saving the competition show responsible for the rash of broken arms suffered in basements, backyards and TV rooms while trying the latest trick seen on the disco-era dance show … DANCE FEVER. This was the pop culture nugget that gave us Deney Terrio, a name no Gen Xer will ever forget. But it wasn't just the spandex and dance moves that kept us glued to the TV -- it was also the parade of celebrity judges, awkwardly pretending like they knew anything at all about disco and/or dancing. If you were good enough for Love Boat, you were good enough for Dance Fever! Which judge focused his scoring on the contestant's legs? Which one tried to do the bump with Motion -- but missed? Who/what is Motion anyway (and what famous athlete are they married to???)? And which judge literally barked their score for the audience? Listen today and find out!

Hello listeners! Today is Christmas Day and the PCPS is taking the week off to rest and recharge -- and so today's episode is an encore of “The Most Seventiest of 70s Christmas Albums.” But before the episode begins, we're dropping in a little gift to you; in November, Kristin appeared onstage in a production called Listen to Your Mother, an annual event featuring local writers and their essays about motherhood where she told a hilarious story about the Christmas she became a Guitar Hero. Trust us, she'll have you rolling (and digging in your basement for your old plastic guitar and drum kits). Enjoy!
