Description
There is no fandom like the Scarecrow & Mrs. King fandom -- passionate, dedicated and absolutely obsessed with red hats, train stations, the Q bureau, and Cream-&-Wood 1983 Ford LTD Country Squire Station Wagons.<br /><br />In this episode, Susan and Sharon meet up with super-fans Taya Johnston, Jennifer Peterson and Miranda Thomas from The Mrs. King’s Chronicles, a re-watch podcast about -- what else? -- Scarecrow & Mrs. King! From Beaverton, Oregon… to Clarkston, Michigan… to Florence, Kentucky -- these three women (plus their fourth partner, Lexie Fiema who couldn’t make the recording) know their SMK! In this fast-moving and funny conversation, you’ll find out everything you ever wanted to know about podcasting, Amanda King, Lee Stetson and Firefly -- but were afraid to ask… <br /><br /><b>THE CONVERSATION</b><br /><ul><li>What do you do when you want to spend more time with your friends and your favorite show? The answer is easy -- you do a podcast!</li><li>GETTING HOOKED ON SMK: sometimes it’s in college, sometimes it’s a commercial, sometimes… it’s your mom!</li><li>IT WAS A THING: recording your favorite shows onto cassette tape so you could listen to them later.</li><li>Lexie -- the “90s Baby” of the podcast -- wants to know why Lee and Amanda don’t use their cell phones more often. And what’s up with the “two Germanys” thing?</li><li>PODCAST PIONEER: Miranda has also done internet radio and podcasts about Firefly and Felicity and Alias and Heroes and Chuck!</li><li>Why do certain shows inspire rabid fandom? And others… not so much.</li><li>SUBURBAN SPY: The compelling fantasy wish-fulfillment of “Being Mrs. King.”</li><li>At the “Hollywood Show” fan meet-up: Bruce Boxleitner had his own fanboy moment when he saw TV’s “Batman” -- Adam West. But he never got to meet him because he refused to cut in line in front of other fans…</li><li>THE ELECTRIC CAMPFIRE: How television -- and now podcasts -- became our place of communal story-telling and shared emotional connection.</li><li>Ship of Spies? Was there really an SMK cruise? Did anyone get married? Go to a strip club?</li></ul>So, join Susan and Sharon -- and Taya and Jennifer and Miranda! -- as they talk 80s retro-love, podcast tangents, Dungeons & Dragons, Miami strip clubs, sweater vests, the Star Wars Christmas Special, living in the Matrix -- and throwing rocks at Cincinnati! <br /><br /><br /><b>AUDIO-OGRAPHY</b><br />Listen to the Mrs. King’s Chronicles podcast at <a href="http://www.mkcpodcast.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MKCPodcast.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.mkcpodcast.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a> <br />Check out Taya’s website <a href="http://www.callmeacab.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CallMeaCab.com</a><br />Find Miranda’s Firefly podcast at <a href="https://www.serenityfirefly.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Serenityfirefly.com</a><br />Find out more about Columbia Willamette River Keepers <a href="https://willamette-riverkeeper.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Willamette-riverkeeper.org</a><br />Get The Ultimate Fan’s Guide to Scarecrow & Mrs. King at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Fans-Guide-Scarecrow-Mrs/dp/B0CJL293YW" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon</a>.<br /><br /><b>CONNECT</b><br />Visit<a href="http://80stvladies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 80sTVLadies.com</a> for transcripts.<br />Sign up for the 80s TV Ladies<a href="http://eepurl.com/h1YPWH" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> mailing list.</a><br />Support us and get ad-free episodes on<a href="https://www.patreon.com/80sTVLadies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> PATREON.</a> <br /><br /><b>VOTE</b><br />The Presidential Election is Tuesday, November 5!<br />Get info and find your polling place at <a href="https://www.vote.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vote.org</a><br /><br />This year is the 45th anniversary of President Carter's Crisis of Confidence speech.
