    ALDEN'S DILEMMA with Stan Ivar and Pamela Roylance Aug 21, 2025
    Show notes

    Today, we’re joined by two very special guests—the Carters themselves! Pamela Roylance and Stan Ivar are here to discuss the episode “Alden’s Dilemma” and share some of their favorite memories from Little House on the Prairie.But that’s not all!Pamela and Stan are also starring in A.R. Gurney’s beloved play Love Letters, directed by none other than Little House casting director Susan McCray. You can catch them live at the Whitefire Theatre, starting tonight—August 21st through August 31st!
    In “Alden’s Dilemma,” Mr. Edwards smells trouble—and it’s not just his long johns. A suspiciously charming young minister arrives in Walnut Grove, and suddenly, he’s getting more house calls from Laura and Mrs. Carter than Doc Baker during flu season. Naturally, Edwards assumes the worst: romance, scandal, and maybe even poetry. Meanwhile, poor Reverend Alden starts to wonder if he’s about to be replaced by a younger model with better hair and shinier sermons.
    Meanwhile, in a completely unrelated subplot that feels like it wandered in from another show, Almanzo and John Carter take a bro-trip to San Francisco, where they stay in a Japanese-style hotel, get mugged by a sweet-looking grandma, tossed in jail, and generally fumble their way through the city like two prairie dads lost in a big-city sitcom. Then join us on Patreon, where Alison tells us about the incredible guest stars who appeared in this episode, and the surprisingly tragic ending for one of the characters that will leave you shocked!

    “CENTENNIAL” Recap! Aug 14, 2025
    Show notes

    We’re back from our hiatus and ready to celebrate summer—and nothing says summer in the United States quite like the 4th of July. This year, we’re revisiting "Centennial", a poignant and eerily prescient episode we believe everyone should watch. It's a powerful reminder for those who may have lost sight of the promise of America—both in these turbulent times and in difficult eras past.
    Far from your typical holiday celebration, "Centennial", starring the incomparable Theodore Bikel, sneaks up on you like a shadow at sunset—quiet, slow, and suddenly all around you. Its message feels more vital than ever, delving into themes of patriotism vs. dissent, economic hardship and civic disillusionment, the immigrant experience, and the enduring ideals of democracy. In the darkest moments, it’s easy to lose hope—but this episode offers light and perspective to anyone feeling disheartened by today’s world. Join us for a moving and timely conversation.
    Then, join us on Patreon, where Alison, Dean and Pamela let you in on future plans for the podcast that we are so excited about!

    "HERE COME THE BRIDES" RECAP! Jun 05, 2025
    Show notes

    Dean and Alison are just a day away from the Little House on the Prairie Cast Reunion at Columbia State Historic Park—but there’s still plenty of time to recap one of the funniest episodes in Little House history!
    This week, we dig into “Here Come the Brides” (Season 4), where we come to a shocking realization: almost every Little House wedding is a surprise wedding. Seriously—BOOM. No invitations. No planning. Just, “Surprise! You’re hitched!”
    This episode has it all: Nellie in full teenage heat (seriously, someone hand her a fan), Mrs. Oleson attempting homicide, and little Willy not giving even half a hoot. Pig farming somehow becomes sexy, Miss Beadle (the fabulous Charlotte Stewart) becomes a Mrs., and Nellie is crowned the Pig Queen of Minnesota…for approximately ten minutes.
    Alison shares some epic behind-the-scenes stories—how Jonathan Gilbert came up with that pratfall, what it was like working with “Luke,” and the sneaky way Charlotte helped cast her future husband in the show. She also reflects (with just a tiny bit of cringing) on just how, uh… aggressively enthusiastic Nellie was in this one. It’s pure comedy gold.
    And of course—join us on Patreon, where Alison spills even more tea about this episode. Trust us, it’s worth it.

    "REMEMBER ME PARTS 1&2" RECAP! May 29, 2025
    Show notes

    We kick things off with Alison’s whirlwind NYC adventure and her sold-out smash, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch! (Turns out being mean on TV still packs a house.) Dean and Alison are now setting their sights on June's California Gold Country event—sunscreen and bonnets at the ready! Meanwhile, Pamela’s busy on the stage (and working her pattooty off!) with her off-Broadway show Cracked Open, now playing through June.
    Then—grab the tissues and cuddle your fur baby—we dive into one of the most tender, tear-jerking episodes of Little House: “Remember Me,” featuring the legendary Patricia Neal. This is the episode that gave us that line:
    “Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I’ll remember you. If you can only remember me with tears, then don’t remember me at all.”
    (It’s so iconic, they literally put it on Michael Landon’s epitaph. Yes. Really.) Who knew this episode would end up eerily reflecting Michael’s own life just a few years later? Ugh.
    But don’t worry—it’s not all heartbreak and handkerchiefs! We also get a wedding! Isaiah and Grace finally tie the knot and step into parenthood like pros. From sorrow springs love, and new beginnings.
    This two-parter has everything: death, love, puppies, and yes—Pa’s famously quivering lip.
    Want even more? Join us on Patreon where Alison spills some backstage tea about working with Patricia Neal. Spoiler: it's awesome.

    THE RICHEST MAN IN WALNUT GROVE" RECAP! May 22, 2025
    Show notes

    Dean and Alison catch us up on their recent adventures at the Cherry Blossom Festival (spoiler: it was charming, floral, and probably involved a President's grandchild). We dip a toe into Waltons territory—just don’t say the “W” word around Pamela! And we’ve got an update on Baby Carrie, courtesy of the Greenbush twins themselves.
    Then it’s back to basics with the Season 2 premiere of Little House on the Prairie, “The Richest Man in Walnut Grove.” This episode is a beautiful reminder of the show’s core values—delivered with simplicity, warmth, and just enough hardship to cue the waterworks before the opening credits are done rolling. (Yes, it starts with cow-milking. Yes, we’re already crying.)
    The economic woes of the 1870s hit uncomfortably close to home for 1970s viewers—and, honestly, still hit today. Charles is broke (again), Mrs. Oleson is insufferable (as usual), Nellie and Willie are on their villain era tour (standard), and Ma and the girls show up as the resilient queens they are (per tradition). And Miss Whipple? She’s quietly running the town with a thimble in one hand and perhaps an illegal mani-pedi operation in her basement. Or is that just Pamela's theory? Regardless... she's a total Boss B.
    Of course, in true Little House fashion, there’s a moral twist: it’s not about money, it’s about love, community, and the kind of hard-earned respect you can’t buy at Olsen’s Mercantile. After all, Pa may be broke, but he's rich in love, sweat, and suspenders.
    Then, join us on Patreon! We answer a Patron’s question about Katherine MacGregor that was not addressed on our recent q&a live — and it’s a good one!

    MEN WILL BE BOYS" RECAP WITH PATRICK LABYORTEAUX! May 15, 2025
    Show notes He’s baaaack! Patrick Labyorteaux returns to join Pamela, Dean, and Alison as they revisit his favorite episode, “Men Will Be Boys.” Patrick shares behind-the-scenes stories about filming this comedic gem with his real-life brother, Matthew Labyorteaux—including the hilarious games they played on set. You’ll hear a laugh-out-loud tale involving a raspberry bush, get some insider scoop on Patrick’s role in the cult classic Heathers, and find out why the phrase “The shovel’s by the do’” has everyone in stitches. Oh—and don't even get us started about that screaming rabbit!
    Then join us on Patreon, where Patrick shares a never-before-told story—revealing that he and Melissa Gilbert were allegedly dating as teenagers… and how he messed it up—big time.

    THE CHEATERS​ RECAP WITH PATRICK LABYORTEAUX! May 08, 2025
    Show notes

    We’re joined by one of our all-time favorite guests—Andy Garvey himself, the one and only Patrick Labyorteaux!Patrick and Alison take us behind the scenes of this unforgettable episode, where (surprise!) Nellie proves once again she’s the absolute worst. Poor Andy!Patrick shares stories about working with his on-screen parents, his real-life adoptive parents, how he was directed in the episode, and what it was like growing up alongside his equally talented brother, Matthew.But we’ve got questions…Why was Alice the worst teacher ever?
    Why did Nellie literally write the answers in her coat lining?!
    Can we all agree—no one feels good getting a whooping?
    And finally… was Patrick actually psychotic as a child? You have to hear the story.
    Then, Patrick joins us again on Patreon to talk about how being a child actor today compares to his time on Little House on the Prairie—and what’s changed over the years.

    "THE MUSIC BOX" recap! May 01, 2025
    Show notes

    Alison was still in Paris having her Prairie Bitch adventures (with the infamous French mouse) during the recording of this episode, the weather is starting to warm up in NYC, and in exciting news, Dean announces he’s writing a new book! (Yay!!!) Then, we discuss the episode where Alison even hates herself. That’s right, we’re talking about “The Music Box”, from Season 3—where villainy is real, and cruelty reigns. We’re talking “peak evil”. WHY, Nellie, WHY?!
    Alison explains why this episode was especially tough for her on a personal level (remember, Alison is really nice in real life!). Katy Kurtzman, who plays the stuttering Anna, earns her stripes as a Little House GOAT of co-stars who joins the Vortex of Characters We Fall In Love With Whom We Never See Again.
    Pamela diagnoses Nellie as a certified psychopath, and gives a quick crash course on the difference between a sociopath vs. psychopath. (She cracked the Nellie code!) It’s Laura’s birthday in this episode (what month is it? Who cares—Walnut Grove is in eternal spring/summer!) and a failed birthday present leads to a passionate robbery. Sort of.
    We’ve got ridiculous nightmare sequences, bad fake fiddle playing, and Mary’s big-sister energy on overdrive. (Hint: don’t mess with her beauty sleep!). And in the end, did Nels use the strap? You decide.
    The moral of this episode: Don't get your kid a dictionary for their birthday.
    Season 3 cranked Nellie’s sadism to a whole new level—and we had a blast recapping this one!

    "SCHOOL MOM" recap! Apr 24, 2025
    Show notes

    Alison shares her Paris adventures (yes, including some rodent encounters), Dean dishes on their exciting new ventures with Prairie Legacy Productions, and Pamela goes on a rant against possums (apologies to the possum lovers out there).
    But then—on to the main event!
    We’re recapping another standout episode from Season 1: “School Mom”.
    Caroline Ingalls steps in as the earthy and compassionate substitute teacher, helping a student in need named Able.
    And we ask the most important question:
    Why does Able look like he’s 42 years old?
    Able was played by Dirk Blocker, the son of Bonanza legend Dan Blocker and the best friend and mentor of Michael Landon, and shockingly, was only 17 when the episode was filmed. After his father, Dan’s passing, Michael Landon brought Dirk into the Little House family to honor his dad’s legacy—and wow, did he deliver.
    Alison and Dean also reveal a shocking tidbit about Miss Beadle’s stunt double (you won’t believe it!) and ask the pressing question: where does Miss Beadle actually live?
    Pa steps up in peak “Chesty Charles” fashion, cooking dinner for Caroline after her long day of teaching (ladies, we all know how hot that is—gentlemen, take notes).
    We also dive into how the relationship between Karen Grassle and Michael Landon shifted over time, leading to Karen’s role being gradually diminished. Alison opens up about how this impacted her and the rest of the cast—and how Karen still showed up, always delivering powerful, heartfelt performances.
    And of course, no Little House episode recap is complete without calling out the real villains of the Prairie: the school children. Seriously, Walnut Grove, do better! Honestly, the level of petty in that classroom (including Mrs. Oleson) is chef’s kiss terrible.
    This Ma-centric episode is a beautiful example of empathy, compassion, and patience. It tugs at every heartstring and proves once again why Caroline Ingalls remains the #1 mom of all time.
    Then join Pamela, Dean, and Alison over on Patreon where Alison and Dean will spill the beans about Prairie Legacy Productions, and what's in store for 2025!

    "THE CAMPOUT" recap! Apr 17, 2025
    Show notes

    We kick things off with a little chat about Alison Balson, who played the unforgettable Nancy Oleson, along with some fond (and hilarious) memories from Dean and Alison. Here's a quick shout-out to Nancy—she brought a whole new level of wild to Walnut Grove! Let’s hear it for a little Nancy love!
    Now, cue the bug spray and brace yourself—it's time for The Campout!
    An epic misadventure in the great outdoors where the Olesons and the Ingalls attempt a relaxing weekend of camping, (spoiler: no one was relaxed), a questionable school project and some very odd ideas of what one would consider a "vacation".
    This episode marks the beginning of Katherine MacGregor’s comedic brilliance on the show, while also giving us a peek into Mrs. Oleson’s more vulnerable side. Yes, underneath all the feathers and finger-pointing, she’s got feelings! And this peek behind the curtain only deepened our love-hate obsession with her. It also opened up a whole new dimension to the Olesons and deepened our love-hate relationship with them. Especially the hate part.
    Alison spills the tea on what the Olesons were actually eating at that dinner table, how they filmed the now-iconic floating-down-the-river moment (it was way more dangerous than it looked), and the very creative (read: gross) way she and Melissa Gilbert stayed warm in their wetsuits. Let’s just say it involved a bodily function and a lot of friendship. Dean and Alison also dive into Katherine MacGregor’s unique approach to her role, including how she wove elements of her real life into many of Mrs. Oleson’s unforgettable moments.And finally, things get real when Pamela asks the question we didn’t know we needed:
    “What’s your damage, Pa?!”Grab your bonnet, pour some of Ma’s coffee, get out your anti-itch ointment, and join us for a laugh-filled, memory-soaked deep dive into one of the most delightfully chaotic episodes Little House ever gave us. This one’s a classic!
    Then join Pamela, Dean, and Alison over on Patreon for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the growing negativity on Little House social platforms. We're taking a stand against toxic, bigoted, and harmful behavior from those who, somehow, believe there’s space for hatred in the world of Walnut Grove. It’s a powerful moment of reflection, solidarity, and setting the record straight—and one you won’t want to miss.
