Podcasts about Cabbage Patch Kids

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the USA, we are doing a series of mini stories across two episodes that explore American toys and games. This week, we look at early childhood objects that became vehicles of the imagination. I talk with Michelle Parnett-Dwyer, senior curator at the Strong National Museum of Play, about how the origin of the Radio Flyer Wagon. Author Michael Kimmel tells me about his great-grand uncle who invented the teddy bear with a little help from the 26th president. I talk with Sara Broussard, director of the Houston Toy Museum, about the complicated history of Cabbage Patch Kids and my assistant producer Stephanie Billman recounts her obsession with the doll that adults were literally fighting over in the mid-1980s.

Check out my natural skincare products at Arvoti.comSome historical events have been hiding dark secrets.Between 1854 and 1929, more than 200,000 children were loaded onto trains and shipped across the United States. The deeper I went into the records, the less the official story held up. Many of these children were not orphans. Some had living parents; Some were taken because of poverty; Some just vanished into a system with almost no oversight at all.Once I started looking at what else was happening in that same time period, I couldn't unsee it. Cities were burning down one after another. Insane asylums were being built in places that didn't have the population to fill them. World fairs were putting up massive Roman-style buildings in empty fields and tearing them back down a year later. Baby incubators were a paid public attraction with real infants on display.I walk you through the orphan trains, the fires, the fairs, the asylums, the Cabbage Patch Kids, and a passage from the Book of Jasher that I genuinely could not stop thinking about. If a reset of history was happening, this is what it would look like.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:03] Over 200,000 children were relocated with no real oversight, and many weren't even orphans [04:42] The orphan trains weren't just an American phenomenon; it was happening worldwide [07:02] The great city fires of the 1800s and the dynamite theory nobody talks about [09:16] The world fair buildings that appeared overnight and were never supposed to exist [13:12] Why live infants were displayed alongside machinery at world fairs [19:17] Who were the insane asylums actually built for, and what happened to the people inside [22:16] The Cabbage Patch Kids origin story might not be as innocent as it seems [23:15] The ancient text that was left out of the Bible and what it says about children in fields [28:05] What a global reset would actually look like, and whether we already lived through one Related Gubba Homestead Episodes:The World Fairs, Aether, and the Great ResetResources Mentioned:World's Columbian Exposition (Chicago World's Fair) | Wikipedia1984 by George Orwell | Book or AudiobookAncient Book Of Jasher | Book or AudiobookFind more from Gubba:Gubba Homestead | XGubba Homestead | FacebookGubba Homestead | InstagramGubba Homestead | PinterestGubba Homestead | WebsiteGubba Homestead Products | Shop

Happy Thursday you darling pop culture junkies! This week, Brooke dives into the delightful chaos of the "viral toy" cycle. She breaks down the absolute frenzy surrounding The Dumplings—specifically those elusive glitter dumplings that have everyone losing their minds. To put this obsession into perspective, Brooke takes a trip down memory lane to revisit the vintage madness of Cabbage Patch Kids and why we as a society never seem to change. Then we go to the Hamps. Brooke breaks down the Summer House drama, explaining the alliances, the blowups, and exactly why this season has managed to take over every single corner of the internet and the country really. Finally, we look to the stars and back to the heart. Brooke discusses the astronauts currently trending, with a deep dive into Victor the pilot's viral moment—from his powerful statement to that incredible physique. Brooke wraps things up with a much-needed dose of joy: Love on the Spectrum is back. Brooke shares why this show remains the perfect, heartwarming antidote to the rest of the world right now.   In This Episode: • The Glitter Dumpling Fever: Why these toys are the new "it" item and a look back at the Cabbage Patch Kids craze. • Summer House Breakdown: Brooke dissects the drama that has everyone talking. • Space & Style: Victor the pilot's viral statement (and his viral workout results). • Pure Joy: Why the return of Love on the Spectrum is exactly what Brooke thinks we need right now.

Discover which iconic playthings actually dominate the global market as the FITT crew deconstructs the top 10 bestselling toys ever. From the surprising 1977 origins of the Star Wars action figure boom to the high-stakes responsibility of a pixelated Tamagotchi, we separate the ultimate Win from the absolute Wiff. Is the Cabbage Patch Kids' $2 billion peak enough to crown them, or is the Rubik's Cube the true king of the toy chest? We're diving into the nostalgia, the unit sales, and the lists that might just be fake.

Welcome back to MU! In this episode, we explore the idea that the timeline of history may not be as settled as we've been led to believe. From the mysterious concept of Tartaria to strange patterns in 19th century architecture, rapid technological leaps, world fairs, orphan trains, and the work of Nikola Tesla, we examine a collection of theories from Guy Anderson's Tesla & the Cabbage Patch Kids suggesting that pieces of the past may have been forgotten, reinterpreted, or quietly absorbed into the modern world.  Welcome to your Plus+ Extension where we continue our Michig-investigation of the freaky things found on the pleasant peninsula as we dive deeper into the mysteries of this trippy ass region, covering more ground detailing some of the unsettling encounters with odd land based creatures. Then we explore the aquatic woo-woo of the Great Lakes as we round off our tour of the high strangeness that seems to never end. Check out the new Inescapable Podcast out now!

This episode invites listeners to question mainstream narratives and consider the hidden histories that shape our understanding of the world.====================

If you were fortunate enough to grow up in the decade of the 1980s, then chances are you have fond memories walking up and down the isles of iconic toy stories, places KB Toys, Toys are Us, FAO Swartz. Their shelves were lined with toys that defined the years of our youth – Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers, GI Joe, Tickle Me Elmo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the weeks after the Christmas Shopping Season, it's easy to reminisce about days past of wish lists and letters to Santa. What you may not realize is the connection of many of these childhood toys to one single man, not named Santa Claus. His impact and presence in our lives is as indisputable as it is unrecognized. Today we open a new chapter to the profile of an individual who played a key role in all of our childhoods and whose creative mind paved the way for toys invented well beyond his passing.

Hour 3 starts with a brutal scorecard check on the show's MLB free agent predictions, as everyone whiffs on Alex Bregman landing with the Cubs. Then it turns into full-blown “Head Coach Vacancy Bingo,” with rapid-fire picks across the league and a heavy Giants focus as the crew debates John Harbaugh vs. Kevin Stefanski, plus the looming possibility of a Mike Tomlin breakup in Pittsburgh and who could replace him. The hour also features a troll-heavy “Aaron Rodgers 5 Greatest Career Accomplishments” list that spirals into a Jets expectations argument, followed by Rodgers' postgame comments defending Mike Tomlin and taking shots at media “experts.” On the baseball side, the Mets get linked to a short, mega-AAV Kyle Tucker offer, then Jeff Passan's report drops with Nolan Arenado finally getting traded. Plus, a classic Evan social moment: Sean Morash compared to a Cabbage Patch Kid, with the receipts. #EvanAndTiki #Giants #JohnHarbaugh #MikeTomlin #AaronRodgers #Jets #NFLCoachingCarousel #MLBHotStove #Mets #KyleTucker #NolanArenado #WFAN

Guy Anderson joins us LIVE to explore Tartaria, human cloning, the Cabbage Patch conspiracy, Tesla technology, mud floods, orphan trains, and the hidden history behind the 1776 reset. Alternative history, forbidden knowledge, and mind‑bending theories — all in one episode. This Sunday we're joined by Guy Anderson, author of Tesla & The Cabbage Patch Kids: The Fall of the Tartarian Empire & Reset of 1776, for one of the most wide‑ranging and provocative conversations we've ever hosted. Guy's research dives deep into the Tartarian Empire, the mud flood reset, and the idea that our historical timeline has been manipulated, rewritten, or deliberately obscured. We'll explore the orphan trains, the origins of the Cabbage Patch Kids, and how these seemingly innocent dolls connect to theories of human cloning, child trafficking, and the erasure of an entire civilisation. Expect discussion of Tesla technology, free energy suppression, underground tunnel systems, and the possibility of a global reset in 1776. Guy also examines esoteric symbolism, the hidden meaning of the Statue of Liberty, and the idea of Satan's Little Season — a period of deception and inversion that shapes our modern world. If you're interested in alternative history, forbidden knowledge, lost civilisations, or the strange overlaps between conspiracy lore and mainstream culture, this episode is for you.

Almost to the end of the year so I brought back the most watched guest for 2025 Guy Anderson from the channel Tesla & The Cabbage Patch Kids. He is here hot off the presses with a brand-new book out!We discuss the book, conspiracy theories, Jesuits the Black Pope and so more occult history!

Merry Christmas, Slackers!It's hard to believe, but this year marks the 35th anniversary of Home Alone, a film that remains one of the most fun (and durable) Christmas flicks. It is made that much more interesting with Macauley Culkin back on a press junket for this season of Fallout, along with the just completed Home Alone tour.We also lost several influential figures from film, television, and music in 2025. Legends like Gene Hackman and Ozzy Osbourne, icons like Val Kilmer, and the more recent and tragic passings of Rob Reiner and James Ransone.Getting back to the holiday festivities, let's take a look at the “hot gifts” of 1975, like Pet Rocks, Mood Rings, and the excitement around early Atari systems - and from 1985, with Teddy Ruxpin, Cabbage Patch Kids, and the first wave of Nintendo home gaming dominance. The episode closes with an overview of what's driving wish lists this Christmas in 2025 - the Nintendo Switch 2 leading the way, alongside interactive toys, viral collectibles, smart tech, cozy lifestyle items, and other high-demand gifts. Thanks for listening, and I wish you a warm, peaceful Christmas.

What's up, dudes? ‘Tis the season to be shopping! Hopefully you found the toys for which you were looking. We definitely wouldn't want a Jingle All the Way situation.On Monday, December 12, 1983, Carol Ann Campbell, staff writer for the York Daily Record, published an article. In “The Quest for a Very Dashing Hulk of Plastic,” she interviews several retail store owners. They enumerate the problem of low orders and large sales booms. Poor sales the previous two holiday seasons resulted in manufacturer overproduction and post-Christmas toy surpluses. Consequently, parents are scouring their communities and nearby cities to find the one gift their children each want. From He-Man to My Little Pony, from Cabbage Patch Kids to Knight Rider, toys are selling out faster than stores can stock them. Some parents, however, are turning toward perennial board game favorites like Battleship. Kiddie Town? Check. K&K Toys? Got it. Toys ‘R' Us? Only in my memories… So grab your keys and drive all over town to this episode on ”The Quest for a Very Dashing Hulk of Plastic!”Give us a buzz!

In 1983, a cherubic, homely doll triggered something close to national hysteria. Parents fought in store aisles. Shelves were stripped bare. Even the New York mafia found itself selling children’s toys. Cabbage Patch Kids went from handmade curiosities to the most coveted object in America — igniting riots, corporate battles, and a moral panic that stretched from suburban malls to federal courtrooms. All in a single Christmas season. And the frenzy didn’t end when the Kids disappeared from shelves. In an unexpected twist decades later, these dolls would get more care and attention than they ever had before. Previously on VSE: The Furby Files * Very special thanks to all our guests!

It's 1983. You're a dumb kid who wants a weird doll. Your parents have been blinded by capitalistic rage. Some kids got what they wanted. Some adults got hurt. Some people made a buttload of money. It was THE CABBAGE PATCH KIDS RIOTS.Steve and Justin take a trip back in time to explore the moment when all of America lost its mind over a doll that looked like a dimple had a baby: the Cabbage Patch Kid.Was there any good reason for the violence and greed that overtook Christmas of 1983 besides the doll being “so dang cute”? It doesn't seem like it. But the deep, weird, and often creepy lore of the dolls themselves is enough to make you ask what was in the water in the early '80s.Follow us on Instagram to stay updated about our monthly live shows!Check out more from Justin here: justindodd.rocks Check out more from Steve here: stevejhward.comdrinkgenies.com

Ever since Cabbage Patch Kids came along in 1983, there’s been an annual holiday frenzy around one particular toy – the must-have Christmas toy of the year. But what makes a toy a must-have toy? Josh and Chuck investigate (and kick off the holidays).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Surprisingly, Cabbage Patch Kids have turned up on SYSK almost as much as the Nazis or Seinfeld. It’s finally time to dive all the way into CPKs, from their controversial origins to the Christmas craze of ‘83 to their alter egos, Garbage Pail Kids.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christmas in the '80s and '90s had a magic all its own—equal parts neon lights, tinsel overload, and the warm glow of TV specials you had to catch live, or you missed them for the whole season. It was the era of mall Santas, department-store catalogs thick enough to use as booster seats, and the unmistakable sound of wrapping paper tearing open to reveal toys that felt larger than life. From driving around to look at Christmas lights to recording holiday specials on VHS (complete with commercials), the season had a slower, cozier rhythm that today's streaming-and-overnight-shipping world can't quite replicate. In this episode, Dave, Rob, and their guest Ryan dive deep into what they loved—and what they genuinely miss—about Christmas back then. Each of them will share their Top 5 greatest Christmas gifts ever, along with the legendary ones they begged Santa for but never found under the tree. It's nostalgia, joy, heartbreak, and holiday hilarity rolled into one festive conversation—perfect for anyone who still remembers the thrill of Cabbage Patch Kids, GI Joe, Tickle Me Elmo and circling toys in the Sears Wish Book or Toys R Us ad before tearing into a Nintendo-shaped box on Christmas morning.

In the early 1980s, a strange little craze was born — not in a hospital, but in a cabbage patch. These dolls came with names, birth certificates, and adoption papers… and they sparked absolute chaos. Parents brawled in department stores, priests called them ungodly, and conspiracy theorists went wild.But behind the madness lies a story you probably haven't heard: claims of stolen art, a soft-sculpture pioneer, and a billion-dollar empire built on a very messy beginning.This episode dives into the wild rise of the Cabbage Patch Kids — from their cult-like frenzy to the artist who may never have received the credit she deserved.Thank you to Stephania Blum from Cabbage Patch Boutique: IG - @cabbagepatchboutiqueThis episode was brought to you by Tüt, toilet lid stickers to zhuzh up your toot.

During this holiday season, it seems like the perfect time to bring you the story of one of the bestselling toys ever - Cabbage Patch Kids! Inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame in 2023, Cabbage Patch Kids set every toy industry sales record for three years running from 1983-86, and has become one of the longest-running doll franchises in the United States. How did a Connecticut company produce the hottest toy of the 1980s - and then go broke? The license to produce Cabbage Patch Kids has gone through a record 7 toy companies. This episode is on the Coleco years - the toymaker with their headquarters in West Hartford.  Host Mary Donohue will share her experience buying the dolls and  Natalie Belanger, Grating the Nutmeg producer from the Connecticut Museum of Culture & History, her own childhood experience playing with the Cabbage Patch Kids. It's hard to believe after such a successful toy, but Coleco Industries were bankrupt by 1989.  The Hartford Courant published numerous full-page stories about what had gone wrong. The Courant reported that "With its revenues dropping and its debt mounting, Coleco faced some critical decisions. Toy industry analysts said the company should have  slowed its spending, cut expenses and waited for sales to improve. Instead, Coleco chose to borrow more and spend more, trying to develop a product to rival Cabbage Patch Kids. But the new toys it introduced-Rambo action figures, Furskins stuffed bears, a talking Cabbage Patch doll and Starcom space toys for boys sold only moderately well."

Every Christmas, for no apparent reason, there's something that your kids will really want. These kinds of fads happen all the time in the digital age, but before the world wide web, Cabbage Patch Kids became a huge craze around the festive season.Joining Seán to discuss is Greg McKevitt, Journalist with The BBC.Image: Cabbage Patch Kids

Here it is! It's all been building to this! The epic conclusion of "Summer Surprise," and one of our most anticipated....err, or should we say dreaded episodes yet! That's right, it's 1987's The Garbage Pail Kids, based on the controversial, extremely popular, '80s Topps trading card set parodying the mega-successful Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. How does one make a movie out of a non-narrative trading card line? Is the proper target audience for a Garbage Pail Kids movie kids or adults? Can an audience handle over 90 minutes of looking at purposely disgusting mutant children and their various body fluids? Is the world of fashion a proper setting for an anarchic, gross-out comedy? And, most importantly, does "Small Town Witch Summer" continue? We explore all these questions and more, as we finally dive into the intentional stinky, slimy junk-pile that is The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.

Tonight on Veritas, we're going to explore a side of history that's often hidden, and in some cases, deliberately erased. Our guest tonight is Guy Anderson, a man who's spent years digging into what he believes is the greatest conspiracy of all time - one that has shaped our world in ways most people don't even realize. Guy grew up in a household where conspiracy theories weren't just casual discussions - they were a constant presence. His father's obsession with Freemasonry and secret societies set the stage for Guy's own journey into uncovering hidden truths. After joining the Freemasons at the age of 30, Guy quickly found out that the secrets he was seeking weren't as easily accessible as he hoped, leading him to question even deeper mysteries. One of the most significant discoveries he made was the story of the Tartarian Empire, a civilization that, according to Guy, was deliberately erased from history during what he calls the “Great Reset” of 1776. This reset, he believes, wiped out entire civilizations and their advanced knowledge, including technologies that could have changed the world. But it doesn't stop there. Guy's book also ties together strange and unsettling events like the rise of orphan trains, which he believes were part of a larger effort to repopulate society after the reset. He also explores the cultural phenomenon of the Cabbage Patch Kids, suggesting that there's a deeper, darker meaning behind these seemingly innocent toys - perhaps even a connection to cloning and human manipulation. In addition, Guy digs into the destruction of major cities like Dresden during World War II, which he argues wasn't just about military strategy, but about erasing the last traces of Tartarian influence. He also connects this history to the suppression of free energy technologies, the role of Nikola Tesla, and the continued control of knowledge by powerful elites. Tonight, Guy Anderson will take us through these mind-bending topics - topics that challenge everything we think we know about our past and our future. It's a conversation about hidden histories, the elites controlling the narrative, and the technologies lost to time.

Matt Roeske of CultivateElevate.com hops on for a call to rip through a bunch of topics that I have been meaning to talk with him about. We're starting in the Gilded Age, where the industrial revolution was steamrolling along, technology was on the rise, and the roots for one of the earliest major human cloning theories were being laid. Cabbage Patch Kids, World Fairs, Parasites, Raw Meats, Sleep Walking, and more jammed into this one! Jim Lee shows up in the last half hour as a special correspondent w/ Geo-Engineering Related news.
