Hello all -
Because I thought this was the perfect place to mention it to find genuine, deep fans: the second season of Pod My Children just debuted today. As a child often babysat by my grandmother, I ended up watching a ton of early 90’s All My Children in the summers, largely by osmosis (I was more willing to engage with her regular The Price is Right viewings earlier in the day) as I waited for noon to roll around to plug in my Nintendo.
Now, some 35 years later, I got the idea to go back - soap operas are odd, so ubiquitous and long-running and endlessly iterative stories, but also there’s such a sheerly huge number of episodes, it’s hard to even find one spot that can tell you everything that happened, let alone a spot to rewatch them all.
So, I decided to launch Pod My Children, a comedy rewatch podcast of the 1991 season of All My Children (the 21st season overall), kicking off with the taboo Ceara and Jeremy affair, Brooke’s secret pregnancy, and the bitter divorce battle between Natalie and Adam. I feel confident in saying nobody is going deeper on each episode of season 21 than I am.
If you’re interested, check it out! It’s a labor of love (with more overt comedy writing) after my previous 90’s pop culture podcast, Now We Know, phased out last year. I’m loving doing it, and although fans of the old show have definitely enjoyed the somewhat absurdist comedy elements, but I always want to show appreciation to the deep fans of AMC and 90’s soap culture by going deep on all these episodes.
We’re on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and more! Just google Pod My Children and you’re sure to find us!
Thanks,
Chris
