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!!

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. #chickenwireKaren 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?

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 setratings 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!For more info go to:*PATREON HASN'T LAUNCHED YET-IT WILL THIS MONTH.

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.For more info go to:www.LittleHouse50Podcast.com to connect with our hosts and link to their websites.*The merch shop is under renovation - we will keep you posted on the status!*www.LivinOnaPrairieTV.com  Check out this Award Winning Series created by Pamela Bob, with special guest stars Alison Arngrim and Charlotte Stewart.Little House 50th Anniversary Bus Tours - www.SimiValleyChamber.org  select Little House 50th Anniversary and then Bus TicketsFacebook/Instagram/TikTok:Dean Butler @officialdeanbutlerAlison Arngrim @alisonarngrimPamela Bob @thepamelabob, @prairietvMO ROCCA:Mobituaries - https://www.mobituaries.com/Rocktogenarians - Rocktogenarians Book - Info and Where To BuyMo interviews Melissa Gilbert: Melissa Gilbert InterviewInstagram: @mobituariesFACEBOOK LIVE with PAMELA and DEANhttps://fb.watch/sXZvDxawWr/LITTLE HOUSE EVENTSJuly 19th-21st Walnut Grove, MIAddress: 330 8th StreetWalnut Grove, MN  56180July 26th-28th SD, Carrie DaysKeystone Community CenterAugust 16th-17th Tombstone, AZBook SigningAddress: 530 East Allen St. Tombstone AZ 85638August 30th-Sept. 1st Watertown, CThttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/little-house-50th-cast-reunion-ct-tickets-753166881417Address: Connecticut Convention Center100 Columbus Boulevard Hartford, CT 06103September 3rd-4th 2024, Lancaster, PA https://www.eventbrite.com/e/792807006097?aff=oddtdtcreatorFarm & Home CenterAddress: 1383 Arcadia Road Lancaster, PA 17601September 14th-15th Lyles, TNJohnny Cash's Hideaway FarmAddress: 9347 Old Highway 46 Lyle, TN 37025September 27th-29th Mansfield, MOWilder DaysAddress: 100 E ParksquareMansfield, MO  65704United StatesOctober 4th & 5th - Tulsa, OKOctober 18th & 19th - Almanzo Wilder HomesteadNovember 16th & 17th -  Branson, MOBranson Convention Center200 South Sycamore Street Branson, MO 65616December 6th-8th : Corsicana, TXhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/923124278567?aff=oddtdtcreatorCONFESSIONS OF A PRAIRIE BITCH-ALISON'S ONE-WOMAN SHOWJuly 12, 13 & 14. RedroomP-Townhttps://redroom.club/events/90938August 1 at 7pm Oasis (298 11th St, San Francisco, CA 94103)Tickets at www.sfoasis.com**WITH A SURPRISE SPECIAL GUEST**ADDITIONAL SIGNINGSAlison and Melissa Gilbert will be appearing at:FAN X in Salt Lake City,  Sept 26 - 28https://fanxsaltlake.com/

In this special Fan(X) Effect episode of our podcast, FanX founder Dan Farr teases all things for the 2024 event, including a major celebrity announcement. Farr takes us into the September 26th—28th event at the Salt Palace Convention Center; to be stuffed to the brim with pop culture fun, celebrity appearances and panels, vendors, authors, artists, cosplayers, contests, KidKon, and more! This includes the just-announced Mel Gibson, who will head to Salt Lake for his first-ever convention. If you haven't bought your tickets, the time is now as celebrity photo ops are filling up and include meeting celebrities like Elijah Wood, Cole Sprouse, Anthony Daniels, Susan Sarandon, and Levar Burton. This episode is hosted by Andy Farnsworth and cohosted by Dan Spindle of KSL TV fame.  The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisodes taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.  Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premiere movie entertainment company.  

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.For more info go to:www.LittleHouse50Podcast.com to connect with our hosts and link to their websites.*The merch shop is under renovation - we will keep you posted on the status!*www.LivinOnaPrairieTV.com  Check out this Award Winning Series created by Pamela Bob, with special guest stars Alison Arngrim and Charlotte Stewart.Little House 50th Anniversary Bus Tours - www.SimiValleyChamber.org  select Little House 50th Anniversary and then Bus TicketsFacebook/Instagram/TikTok:Dean Butler @officialdeanbutlerAlison Arngrim @alisonarngrimPamela Bob @thepamelabob, @prairietvFACEBOOK LIVE with PAMELA and DEANhttps://fb.watch/sXZvDxawWr/LITTLE HOUSE EVENTSJune 27th - Book Signing for "Prairie Man" at the Grove at 7pmJuly 19th-21st Walnut Grove, MIAddress: 330 8th StreetWalnut Grove, MN  56180July 26th-28th SD, Carrie DaysKeystone Community CenterAugust 16th-17th Tombstone, AZBook SigningAddress: 530 East Allen St. Tombstone AZ 85638August 30th-Sept. 1st Watertown, CThttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/little-house-50th-cast-reunion-ct-tickets-753166881417Address: Connecticut Convention Center100 Columbus Boulevard Hartford, CT 06103September 3rd-4th 2024, Lancaster, PA https://www.eventbrite.com/e/792807006097?aff=oddtdtcreatorFarm & Home CenterAddress: 1383 Arcadia Road Lancaster, PA 17601September 14th-15th Lyles, TNJohnny Cash's Hideaway FarmAddress: 9347 Old Highway 46 Lyle, TN 37025September 27th-29th Mansfield, MOWilder DaysAddress: 100 E ParksquareMansfield, MO  65704United StatesOctober 4th & 5th - Tulsa, OKOctober 18th & 19th - Almanzo Wilder HomesteadNovember 16th & 17th -  Branson, MOBranson Convention Center200 South Sycamore Street Branson, MO 65616December 6th-8th : Corsicana, TXhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/923124278567?aff=oddtdtcreatorCONFESSIONS OF A PRAIRIE BITCH-ALISON'S ONE-WOMAN SHOWJuly 12, 13 & 14. RedroomP-Townhttps://redroom.club/events/90938August 1 at 7pm Oasis (298 11th St, San Francisco, CA 94103)Tickets at www.sfoasis.com**WITH A SURPRISE SPECIAL GUEST**ADDITIONAL SIGNINGSAlison and Melissa Gilbert will be appearing at:FAN X in Salt Lake City,  Sept 26 - 28https://fanxsaltlake.com/
