I hope you enjoy this interview I did with Sarah Uthoff who is the host of Trundlebed Tales! Sarah was amazing and although we had some serious audio glitches, we got through it and she will be returning with clearer audio in the near future. Her show sounds better than this so don’t hold that against her! We discuss all things Laura Ingalls Wilder and even discuss how because of Rose Wilder, Laura Ingalls Wilders’ notes are all being preserved beautifully in a Presidential Library!
Please check out Sarah’s amazing work and radio show!

Many of you may know that Leah Mitchell and I have launched a podcast named, RetroTV which reviews a lot of the nearly forgotten tv shows and the history associated with them. Kim Layer and Chris Hasler have also come on to guest host and we look forward to releasing more of them in the future. It’s really a relaxed vibe and we’re just having fun discussing the shows.
We thought we would bring Michael Landon and Victor French into the mix with a Highway to Heaven review! I Was a Middle-Aged Werewolf is paying an homage to the 1957 Michael Landon film, I Was a Teenage Werewolf where he stars as Tony Rivers.

It’s Halloween time so in keeping with that dark theme – Today Walnut GroveCast releases one of its’ most requested reviews! I don’t get hundreds of emails every month but I must have gotten at least 30-40 in the past couple months asking why we aren’t reviewing The Plague and Quarantine.
Here ya go! Kim Layer joins me to tackle this dark and extremely timely episode. We try to keep it as light as possible but once the rats show up in cheap cornmeal the episode is really on cruise control!
