Elwood City Limits Episode 157: A Chorus of Sinister Voices from the Darkness Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

It's Halloween and, even though Will has been enveloped by inky blackness, he manages to power through with Lucas to discuss a surprisingly personal George episode in "The Silent Treatment" and a weird, tai chi-laden narrative in "Kung Fool." Along the way, they meet a new character, discuss shop class and aglets, play a double round of "Would You Eat It," and even hear Will's real voice! Stay past the end for a little spooky extra, and keep your eye on the free feed this weekend...

PREVIEW - For The Kids #32: The Puzzle Place Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

Will and Lucas reach back deep into the 1990's to uncover what was, at one time, one of the most popular PBS Kids shows ever made! There's a lot to talk about around this left-leaning, socially conscious puppet show, including just how big the show was in its time, potential reasons why it is not as easily remembered as its contemporaries, and what it gets right (and not-so-right) about socially conscious issues and representation. Plus, tongue twisters, Will's misheard lyrics, and...Hulk Hogan speaking Pig Latin?
