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."

Fluent Fiction - Italian: Unveiling the True Treasure Beyond Museum Walls Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2025-11-22-23-34-02-it Story Transcript:It: Giovanni e Luca camminavano lentamente lungo i corridoi semi-illuminati del Museo di Storia Naturale di Milano.En: Giovanni and Luca walked slowly along the dimly lit corridors of the Museo di Storia Naturale di Milano.It: Era un pomeriggio autunnale e le foglie d'oro cadevano fuori dalle grandi finestre, mentre il vento fresco portava il profumo della stagione.En: It was an autumn afternoon, and golden leaves were falling outside the large windows, while the cool breeze carried the scent of the season.It: Il museo era un luogo sacro, pieno di antichi reperti e animali impagliati.En: The museum was a sacred place, full of ancient artifacts and stuffed animals.It: Giovanni osservava attentamente ogni dettaglio, alla ricerca di qualcosa che potesse fare la differenza nella sua carriera di storico.En: Giovanni observed every detail carefully, searching for something that could make a difference in his career as a historian.It: "Guarda, Luca," disse Giovanni, fermandosi davanti a una porta che sembrava a malapena notata dagli altri visitatori.En: "Look, Luca," said Giovanni, stopping in front of a door that seemed barely noticed by other visitors.It: Era una porta di legno, nascosta in un angolo del corridoio.En: It was a wooden door, hidden in a corner of the corridor.It: "Ho sentito parlare di un artefatto dietro questa porta.En: "I've heard about an artifact behind this door.It: Si dice che porti fortuna eterna."En: They say it brings eternal luck."It: Luca alzò un sopracciglio, scettico.En: Luca raised an eyebrow, skeptical.It: "Giovanni, sai quanto rischioso sia.En: "Giovanni, you know how risky this is.It: Il museo chiude tra poco.En: The museum closes soon.It: Non possiamo rimanere qui."En: We can't stay here."It: Giovanni sorrise.En: Giovanni smiled.It: "Solo dieci minuti, Luca.En: "Just ten minutes, Luca.It: Pensa al riconoscimento che potremmo ottenere.En: Think of the recognition we could achieve.It: La nostra scoperta cambierebbe tutto."En: Our discovery would change everything."It: Dopo un momento di esitazione, Luca sospirò.En: After a moment of hesitation, Luca sighed.It: "Va bene, ma solo perché sono curioso anch'io."En: "All right, but only because I'm curious too."It: Decisero di aspettare finché il museo non fosse quasi vuoto.En: They decided to wait until the museum was almost empty.It: All'ultimo istante, si avventurarono verso la porta e con un colpetto attirarono l'attenzione di un passante.En: At the last moment, they ventured toward the door and with a tap drew the attention of a passerby.It: Fortunatamente, era solo un altro visitatore.En: Fortunately, it was just another visitor.It: Sbirciando intorno, riuscirono ad aprire la porta senza essere notati.En: Glancing around, they managed to open the door without being noticed.It: Il cuore di Giovanni batteva forte mentre scendevano delle antiche scale di pietra.En: Giovanni's heart was pounding as they descended the ancient stone steps.It: L'aria era più fredda e umida lì sotto.En: The air was colder and damp down there.It: Alla fine, si trovarono davanti a un'antica camera nascosta, illuminata solo dalla luce fioca che penetrava dalla porta socchiusa.En: Eventually, they found themselves in front of an ancient hidden chamber, illuminated only by the dim light penetrating through the ajar door.It: La stanza era silenziosa, contenente solo un podio al centro.En: The room was silent, containing only a podium at the center.It: Sopra di esso c'era l'artefatto tanto cercato, una piccola scatola intarsiata di legno antico.En: On top of it was the much-sought-after artifact, a small inlaid box of ancient wood.It: Giovanni e Luca si avvicinarono con cautela.En: Giovanni and Luca approached cautiously.It: "Che cosa sarà?"En: "What could it be?"It: chiese Luca, avvicinandosi.En: asked Luca, moving closer.It: Giovanni aprì lentamente la scatola.En: Giovanni slowly opened the box.It: All'interno, un piccolo rotolo di pergamena emergeva delicatamente.En: Inside, a small scroll of parchment gently emerged.It: Lo srotolarono insieme, leggendo il messaggio invecchiato.En: They unrolled it together, reading the aged message.It: Diceva: "La vera ricchezza è nelle amicizie e nelle esperienze, non nei beni materiali."En: It read: "True wealth lies in friendships and experiences, not in material goods."It: Giovanni si fermò, riflettendo.En: Giovanni paused, reflecting.It: Luca lo osservò in silenzio, poi sorrise.En: Luca watched him in silence, then smiled.It: "Forse il museo aveva ragione," disse Luca.En: "Perhaps the museum was right," said Luca.It: "Non siamo stati catturati, e abbiamo trovato qualcosa di prezioso comunque."En: "We weren't caught, and we found something valuable anyway."It: Giovanni annuì lentamente, chiudendo la scatola.En: Giovanni nodded slowly, closing the box.It: "Forse hai ragione," ammise.En: "Maybe you're right," he admitted.It: "Il successo e il riconoscimento non valgono quanto le relazioni e l'onestà."En: "Success and recognition aren't worth as much as relationships and honesty."It: I due amici salirono le scale, tornando al museo ormai vuoto.En: The two friends climbed the stairs, returning to the now empty museum.It: Il sole stava calando dietro le finestre, dipingendo ombre lunghe sui pavimenti di marmo.En: The sun was setting behind the windows, casting long shadows on the marble floors.It: Uscirono nel fresco della serata autunnale, con un nuovo apprezzamento per una fortuna che non era fatta di tesori nascosti.En: They stepped out into the cool of the autumn evening, with a newfound appreciation for a fortune not made of hidden treasures.

Ready to step into the movies? In this episode, we're continuing my Back to Basics Disney series with a deep dive into Disney's Hollywood Studios — the park of thrills, glitz, and movie magic. I'll walk you through everything you need to know to plan your perfect Hollywood Studios day — including:

  More than twenty thousand Hispanic Americans served in the Civil War. When Cuban-born Loreta Velázquez's husband would not allow her to join him on the battlefield, she assumed the role of First Lieutenant Harry T. Buford to be near him. Philip Bazaar, born in Chile, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his courageous exploits during the assault of Fort Fisher. The spying efforts of Floridian Maria Dolores Sánchez and her two sisters led to a Union defeat at the Battle of Horse Landing.    Delving into the lives of these individuals, historian A.J. Schenkman, author of Hispanic Americans of the Civil War, published by the History Press in 2025, uncovers this often-overlooked aspect of Civil War history. Hispanic soldiers came from different countries. Mexico had declared its independence from Spain in 1821 and later abolished slavery in 1837. Some soldiers and sailors traced their families to Cuba and Puerto Rico, which were still part of Spain. Or from Spain itself or its other colonies.    In this episode, Schenkman uncovers a bombshell story about New Haven's Augusto Rodríguez, the first known Civil War soldier from Puerto Rico. When this story was published in the Summer 2025 issue of Connecticut Explored magazine, the phone started to ring off the hook. Television news channels and newspapers quickly picked up this remarkable story.  Grating the Nutmeg has covered the courageous Puerto Rican men of the 65th regiment founded in 1899 when Puerto Rico became a United States territory in episode #184 but not someone this early in our military history.   A. J. Schenkman is a New York-based writer. He is a social studies teacher in Ulster County, New York, and a former municipal historian. Schenkman is also author of several books about local, regional, and national history. He currently writes for Litchfield and Dutchess Magazines, as well as the Shawangunk Journal.   To contact A.J. Schenkman, visit his website at https://www.ajschenkman.com/   To subscribe to Connecticut Explored, the magazine of Connecticut history, visit https://simplecirc.com/subscribe/connecticut-explored   To watch Connecticut's Hidden Gems on YouTube, visit https://www.ctpublic.org/watch/local-programming/connecticut-hidden-gems   ------------------------------------- This episode of Grating the Nutmeg was produced by Mary Donohue and engineered by Patrick O'Sullivan at highwattagemedia.com/   Follow GTN on our socials-Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and BlueSky.   Follow executive producer Mary Donohue on Facebook and Instagram at West Hartford Town Historian.

Our latest conversation begins with a short clip from the incomparable Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as part of a quick tribute to the incomparable Robert Redford, and a whole helluva lot of tidbits that we find interesting before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We've Seen since last time (29:40), TV Talk (1:29:09), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (2:07:28).  Then it's time for an exciting Rocky IV installment of “Not Like This, Christopher Nolan” (2:23:00) before Patrick wows during another What Year Did That Come Out Again? (2:32:07), does an okay job at a PTA themed Tomato Talk (2:34:57), and provides a 2025 Hidden Gem recommendation (2:38:38) before we say goodbye until next time.  Episode highlights include podcast recommendations, book recommendations, a discussion about Waterworld, 1998's Armageddon, Halloween movie and costume choices, the Sphere in Las Vegas, feelings and fears about AI, Guillermo Del Toro's love of monsters, Peter Weir's cinematic exploration of communities, what makes good Star Trek, a defense of Kathryn Bigelow and her latest film - A House of Dynamite, that warm and cozy feeling you get when you decide to stop watching a show you no longer enjoy, movies and shows that are decidedly “of their time”, fan frustration when storytellers ignore previously established rules and timelines in beloved franchises, Amazon's continued Bond buffoonery, and a new hope that Disney will give fans the original, unaltered films they loved (maybe even in theaters?!).  Shout-out to long-time friend of the podcast, Kevin, for this episode's listener feedback.
