Little House: Fifty for 50 Podcast

Today is a special day here on the Pod--because Pamela is taking the back seat as host, and Alison and Dean are interviewing HER today!
If you've been wondering who Pamela Bob is, and her connection to Alison, Dean, and the entire Little House family, it is all explained today. 
Find out about Pamela's background, her love of Little House, and her bizarre and fateful story of meeting Alison. Then, hear about how the idea and creation of her award-winning series, Livin' On a Prairie came to be. Alison and Pamela talk about their experience filming the show, the wonder of Charlotte Stewart, and how Michael Landon played a major part in the spirit of the series.
Please check out Livin' On a Prairie, like and subscribe -- and enjoy! It's truly a Bonnethead's dream, made with love, humor, and sincerity.
Pamela's next show that she has co-written and will also appear in is The Twisted Christmas Show, premiering in NYC's The Green Room on 12/4, 12/6 and 12/7. Any support is greatly appreciated, and contributions to the Kickstarter has some great incentives. All other info is listed in the show notes below.

Then- Continue the conversation on Patreon, where we talk more about a special date:  Oct. 31st -- Michael Landon's birthday. Alison reads an emotional passage from the program from Michael's funeral, and we discuss the disbelief of losing one so vital and full of life. Also, hear the fascinating parallels between Michael Landon and Jim Henson with an unbelievable story from Alison.

We start today's episode with a recognition of all the supportive and kind feedback we received from last week's episode, "The Elephant In the Room". We love you and appreciate you, Bonnetheads!And speaking of kindness, this was the perfect segway to discuss a beloved member of the Little House family that is no longer with us:  The late, great, Dabbs Greer, who we all know as the kind, gentle, and honest Reverend Alden.Hear first hand stories about Dabbs from Alison and Dean, and hear the answer when Pamela asks the burning question for Bonnetheads everywhere--"what happened to Rev. Alden's wife?!" Although he was on Little House for almost a decade, Dabbs had a long and thriving career--before and after Little House. It is a joy to keep the appreciation and love for Dabbs alive, and we celebrate him today!
And how else to end the episode but answer some of YOUR listener questions?!

A TWISTED CHRISTAS SHOW CABARET! AT GREEN ROOM 42 12/4,12/6,12/7 MORE INFO TO COME!

Today’s episode addresses the Elephant in the Room:  The recent scandals involving Jack Bishop and his Gravel Road Market events. Dean, Alison, and Pamela felt it necessary to address this out of respect for the fans and everyone involved who have been affected. We discuss the history with Jack Bishop, the status of Little House fan events, the recent happenings involving Jack Bishop’s Gravel Road Market and what were supposed to be cancelled events. Sadly, the cast has had to address further grievances, with more public awareness including an article in People Magazine and a piece on NBC News’s Connecticut affiliate (both linked in the show notes below).  After the shocking mishandling of the Connecticut and Lancaster events, we discuss the impact, the aftermath, how the amazing fans have galvanized, and the hopes for what’s ahead in the Little House events universe (it’s gonna be GREAT!).  On a lighter note, check out our feature in Buzzfeed! Alison and Dean were featured this week in a great interview, which also featured the Podcast! (Link below)  And how else to end the episode but answer some of YOUR listener questions?!
THEN Join us on Patreon, where we get loose and talk about… oh… anything! Pamela discusses her recent experience in a developmental workshop of a new musical in NYC and her upcoming show “Twisted Christmas”, premiering at Green Room 42 in NYC on December 3,5 and 6th.  Alison is coming to us from Paris, where she’s doing tons of shows before she heads to Ireland to do speaking engagements!  And Dean is giving us hints at possible UK/European/Japan Little House events… (What?! Yeah!!!)

DEAN BUTLER EVENTS
October 4th- Tulsa, OK - Barnes & Noble Southroads

It's finally Sweater-Weather season! Alison and Dean recap last week's live screening of "Country Girls" in Simi Valley, where people arrived in full Prairie drag, reminiscent of the Rocky Horror Picture Show... (good idea, am I right?!)  They were joined by this week's guest, who also premiered in "Country Girls"--the incredible Tracie Savage, who played Christy Kennedy in the first 2 seasons of LHOTP. 

Tracie hadn't seen the cast in 48 years until she joined them at the 50th Anniversary festival in Simi Valley this past March! Fun fact: Tracie came from an entertainment family, and was the one child up against Melissa Gilbert for the role of Laura Ingalls. But she isn't bitter -- because she went on to have an incredible career in entertainment, (notably having a great death scene in the infamous Friday the 13rh franchise) and then found her calling in broadcast journalism, landing in Los Angeles, covering history-making stories such as the OJ Simpson trial. Speaking of OJ, Tracie tells a harrowing and riveting story of her experience having had to testify at the trial--and we are shook!  Currently, Tracie is a college professor, where she feels the most gratified. Tracie is seriously awesome, you will love her story--and we are so happy that she a part of the Little House family.
Then, Alison answers some of your listener questions, specifically for Nellie Season 1!


And for more fun, join us on Facebook for the Little House Food Contest!! It's hilarious!

And this week on Patreon, we will have exclusive behind-the-scenes video from the "Country Girls" screening in Simi Valley with Alison, Dean and Tracie.The party is on Patreon! Haven’t signed up yet? Link is below!

ALISON ARNGRIM &...

On September 18, 1974 a cultural phenomenon came forth unto the world: The Birth of the Prairie Bitch. That's right, Alison Arngrim premiered as Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie, and our worlds have never been the same. We discuss the episode "Country Girls" and the role Alison was born to play. Did you know that Alison first auditioned for the role of Laura?! Hear about her infamous audition story, her deep understanding of the character, and how she was always drawn to villain characters. Find out how being bullied in real life lent itself to her channeling the nastiness of Nellie Oleson, and how her "prairie drag" helped to transform her into the role.
The immediate connection felt between Alison and Melissa Gilbert allowed them to achieve one of the all-time greatest TV rivalries and how the enjoyment of the kill is comparable to Alison's hero, Hannibal Lecter! 

Alison's experience of being the most hated person to one of the most beloved people is nothing short of amazing, as is Alison's embracing of the character and her place in TV history--and all of our hearts--as our favorite Prairie Bitch. 

As Alison so perfectly says it: "BEAUTY IS FLEETING--VILLAINY IS FOREVER"
 
Then join us on Patreon for another fun segment! This week...Dean gets a surprise from Alison that may or may not involve an iconic song, a jacket and tie, and Gary Coleman just may be a part of the conversation. Intrigued? Join us! Link below!

FACEBOOK LIVE with PAMELA and DEAN

Today we have a very special guest, one that lives in the hearts of all Bonnetheads: Karen Grassle, otherwise known as Caroline Ingalls--or "Ma"! 
Beginning with the Little House pilot, her performance on Little House captured the hearts of millions, embodying strength, warmth, and resilience. Beyond her work on Little House, she has enjoyed a varied career in theater, film, and television, earning a reputation as a versatile and dedicated performer. Her contributions to Little House continue to be celebrated world wide and she is beloved as one of the most iconic TV moms in television history. Her belief of Ma being a strong woman and not an archetypal ingenue was a big deal in 1974.
We reminisce about the enthusiastic reception for her during the Simi Valley 50th Anniversary Festival, and how Karen didn’t know how beloved she was until she was 80 years old--the year she published her memoir, "Bright Lights, Prairie Dust". 
She talks about accepting her destiny as Ma and how it influenced the trajectory of her career, how recovery from alcohol addition was a huge milestone in her life, and shares memories of some favorite moments on set, including Victor French, Melissa Sue Anderson and the iconic “A Matter of Faith” episode. #chickenwire
Karen shares how acting was her calling from a young age and how writing her personal and vulnerable memoir was healing for her. Karen answers some of your listener questions, and then joins us on Patreon for a very personal conversation about difficulties on the Little House set behind the scenes and with Michael Landon during her time on Little House. Not on Patreon yet?

And see Pamela gobsmacked by Melissa's praise of Livin' On a Prairie! (*gasp!) And then, a whole slew of your fantastic listener questions!

It is safe to say, this is the most anticipated episode since we began this podcast! Today's guest is an original, essential, and beloved member of the Little House family. Episodes featuring her rich, dramatic, and traumatic life on the prairie set

ratings records for the series. She became famous and unforgettable as Mary, the eldest Ingalls daughter--Today she is Melissa Sloan, but fans will always know her as Melissa Sue Anderson.
You take the good, you take the bad--and Melissa is here clearing up some misconceptions that might have been ruminating about her, including her on-screen love interests, her letting go of the past and embracing new friendships with cast members, and some behind the scenes happenings that were frankly...not cool. With an adult perspective now, she looks back on her time on Little House which is truly illuminating--and revealing. Find out how Melissa got the role, why she left the show, and why Pamela will forever be #TeamMary. If you ever worried about waking up and being spontaneously blind, like Mary did, you'll be thrilled to know that Melissa is not, nor has ever been, really blind! (She's just that good!)

Join our Patreon channel, launching later this month, to hear your listener questions and get more insider talk with Melissa!

We talk about the roots of how this museum came to be (as well as how it's the best gift shop for all things LIW), and if the TV Walnut Grove is anything like the real Walnut Grove.

Mo Rocca has been on Pamela's shortlist for "Dream Guests" since this podcast began. And we're thrilled he's here! Mo Rocca is widely praised for his multifaceted career as a writer, humorist, and television correspondent. He is particularly known for his engaging storytelling style, which blends humor, historical insight, and a touch of irony. In addition to his writing, Rocca's work as a correspondent on CBS Sunday Morning and hisroles in various television programs, including "The Daily Show", "I Love the 70s" and "I Love the 80's", "My Grandmother's Ravioli" on the Cooking Channel, and "Henry Ford's Innovation Nation" on CBS has cemented his reputation as a versatile and engaging media personality. His work often highlights underappreciated figures and lesser-known historical facts, making his content both educational and entertaining, as shown in his Podcast and Book, "Mobituaries". His latest book, "Roctogenarians", celebrates individuals who achieved significant milestones later in life, drawing praise for its inspiring and often humorous profiles of these late bloomers--one of them being none other than Laura Ingalls Wilder. 
Join us as we discuss all things Prairie and how Mo got started on his eclectic and multifaceted career. Find out if Mo is #TeamAdam or #TeamManly, why Nellie is a gay icon, why old people are his "jam", and what our imaginary Walnut Grove nightclubs would be named. Ever the Bonnethead, Mo asked as many questions to Alison and Dean as we asked him...and quickly discovered he could be the biggest Nellie Oleson fan of all time. Quite simply, Mo Rocca ROCKS.

To quote one of the greatest movies of all time, Waiting For Guffman... "It's the day of the show, y'all!". That's right, Dean's memoir "Prairie Man" is officially launched! And we're so honored to spend this morning (taped on July 25th) talking about how he got here and realizing this is just the beginning of the beginning! We answer many of your fantastic listener questions sent in as a part of the Facebook Live event Pamela hosted with Dean for LittleHouseOnthePrairie.com this past Monday June 24th. (If you'd like to see the entire conversation, the link to the Facebook video is below). Finally, we hear about Alison's French escapades at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival with several fellow cast members including Matthew Labyorteaux and Melissa Sue Anderson. They wined, they dined, they were weirdly color-coordinated. But the real question is, did Alison end up buying some of those Margaritas for Melissa Sue Anderson? Perhaps we'll be seeing Melissa Sue soon on the pod...All Prairie-related events and Alison's solo show "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch" are listed below.

Our #imaginaryboyfriend, Dean Butler (aka Almanzo) is back for Part 2 of this insightful conversation. We learn how Dean started his acting training and career, the nearly impossible feat of booking Judy Bloom's "Forever" and how that prepared him for his Little House life.  Dean talks about his very daunting first experience with Michael Landon on the set of Little House, and his thoughts about his fellow Little House cast members.  He shares his experience at the recent Simi Valley 50th Anniversary Festival, and we do a fun rapid fire q&a! Dean's memoir, "Prairie Man" launches on June 25th and he's doing lots of book signing events, so check out his social media. You'll want your copy if you want all things Manly! It's so good!
