Wishbonafide

Erin and Claire are back to discuss The Prince and the Pauper with special guest, Mike Handlin, and Wishbone's choice of shenanigans over seriousness - for better or worse! 

It is a truth universally acknowledged that every good literary podcast must be in want of an Austen episode - and here is ours! Erin and Claire have on guest, Haya, to chat about one of the more 90s nostalgic episodes we've had to date, and it's a grand old time! 

We had a merry old time with our band of podcasters in this episode, featuring Erin, Claire, and Jason Gagliardi as guest as we talked about Robin Hood and the Wishbone episode, "Paw Prints of Thieves." 

Justin Thomas is back as a guest to help Erin and Claire give a good rambling recap of this episode of Wishbone, "Bark to the Future," based on the book The Time Machine by H.G. Wells! 

Quoth the raven….nevermind. We are doing Edgar Allen Poe’s short story “The Purloined Letter” instead! Join us as we also tackle the Wishbone episode, “The Pawloined Paper,” with guest Sean Creedon, who also wrote our theme song!

Erin and Claire are joined by Claire's brother, Liam, to discuss one of the best Wishbone adaptations yet - and one of the worst framework stories...

Erin and Claire are joined by Erin's cousin, Megan, to talk about one of the hands down wackiest episodes of Wishbone of all time, as we discuss The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the Wishbone episode, Mixed Breeds. 

Erin and Claire tackle one of our zaniest episodes yet with some grand theft and 90s internet hijinks afoot - featuring guest, Rowan Suder! 

Erin and Claire sit down with Sam Vawter to discuss the sci fi classic, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and the arbor day episode of Wishbone, Hot Diggity Dog! The arbor council would be pleased. 

It's alive! Well, the podcast is up and live, at least. Erin and Claire sit down with Claire's friend, Haddy, to discuss Frankenstein and the Wishbone episode "Frankenbone" in this episode of Wishbonafide! 

Erin, Rory, and Claire team up once again for and OG Wishbonafide team podcast episode from back in the day! 

Erin and Claire sit down for our first new episode recorded in 2020, with special guest, Alecsa Kazenas! 

Claire and Erin welcome Annie Malady to the podcast as they break down quite a tome in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. 

Claire and Erin have on lovely guest, Wes Peters, to discuss all things chivalrous in Ivanhoe and the Wishbone episode, "Sniffing the Gauntlet!" 

Erin and Claire may have accidentally read different works of fiction for this episode, but we're all on the same page when it comes to the myth of Faustus! Plus, we have expert special guest, Nick Johnston, to guide us through on the journey. 

We are back! Erin, Rory, and Claire sit down to chat a little about what they've been up to since the last time we uploaded, and about the importance of taking care of your own mental health. Subscribe if you want to hear all new episodes! 

There must be giants! At least we think so….in this episode about Miguel de Cervantes’ “Don Quixote” and Wishbone’s “The Impawssible Dream” - with guest Kaitlyn Gallagher!

Co-producer Rory Nachbar is back as a special guest for our episode on Mark Twain’s “The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc” and Wishbone’s “Bone of Arc,” in which we have a Come-to-Jesus about Wishbone’s lack of Jesus in this episode.

This episode sure is a snooze fest...because it’s about Washington Irving’s short story “Rip Van Winkle” and Wishbone’s “Digging Up the Past” - featuring guest Meghan Beretta!  

There’s a mystery afoot, or a-paw you could say, in this episode featuring the Sherlock Holmes story “The Hounds of Baskerville” by Arthur Conan Doyle and Wishbone’s “The Slobbery Hound” - featuring guest Gabe Carter!

What does the nose know? This week, we sniff out the differences between Cyrano de Bergerac and the Wishbone episode “Cyranose.” We are joined by Pat Venable, an expert in french language and Erin’s brother. 

We walk that walk and talk that talk, or at least try our best, in this episode about select African folk tales and Wishbone’s “Bark That Bark.” Special guest Chris Silverberg joins us for some valuable life lessons from tricksy Anansi the Spider and The People Who Could Fly and surprisingly good social commentary in this musically lit episode.

There's a conspiracy of arbors afoot in this behind the scenes cut, though no one seems quite sure what to call it. 

Join our mad journey through Homer’s “The Odyssey” and Wishbone’s “Homer, Sweet Homer” in which we talk about mixed messages and Arbor Councils. And maybe the book and episode just a little - with special guest, Adriana Tringone! Adriana currently works in retail but hopes of one day writing for television. She recently moved from New York to LA to pursue that dream—or, at least, in search of better and more consistent weather. Two things she loves are talking about dogs and talking about literature, and she's grateful to Wishbonafide for offering her an opportunity to do both at once.

If you thought you had heard all the dog puns, think again. Justin Thomas truly brings out the worst in us in this bonus clip from the cutting room floor, and we don’t give a shih-tzu. Look out for the full episode, Romeo and Juliet & "Rosie, Oh! Rosie, Oh!", coming August 31st! 

But soft! What light through yonder TV breaks! Well, something like that. This week we’re talking about the Bard and one of his most famous works, “Romeo and Juliet,” and Wishbone’s “Rosie, Oh! Rosie, Oh!” Get ready for some serious discussion of animal shelter care, and some not-so-serious discussion of adorable pup romance - with special guest, Justin Thomas!

Get ready for a bowlful of of excitement and hilarity, but mostly confusion, in this episode about Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and Wishbone’s “A Twisted Tail,” where we get tangled up in Dickens - with special guest Ben Abraham!

If you ever went adventuring with a BFF and got into some serious shenanigans, this episode is sure to bring back those fond memories. Nostalgia is the name of the game in this flagship episode of Wishbonafide, about “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer ” by Mark Twain, and Wishbone’s “A Tail in Twain” with special guest and co-producer, Rory Nachbar!

Created and produced by three best friends, Wishbonafide is a podcast that brings new life to the 90s children’s TV show “Wishbone" and humorously tackles the literary integrity and tween frame story of the original TV program.
