Podcast appearances and mentions of laura ingalls

TVC 692.4: A return visit by Dean Butler, the actor known around the world to three generations to television viewers as Almanzo Wilder, Laura Ingalls' husband on Little House on the Prairie. Among other topics this segment, Dean and Ed discuss the forthcoming Netflix reimaging of Little House; Dean's early experiences working as an extra (then, later, as an actor) on The Streets of San Francisco, including sharing screen time with Michael Douglas in the famous Streets episode “The Thrill Killers,” featuring Patty Duke and Susan Dey; and the difference between having a craft for acting and having a facility for it. Dean's memoir, Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond, is available wherever books are sold through Kensington Books, an imprint of Citadel Press. Dean Butler and other cast members from Little House on the Prairie are scheduled to appear at the Little House cast reunion at Columbia State Historic Park in Tuolumne County, California on June 6-7-8, 2025. Go to LittleHouseGoldCountry.com for tickets and more information.

Today on a special Too Opinionated we celebrate fifty years of Little House on the Prairie and the announcement of a new Netflix adaption by chatting with cast members Dean Butler and Alison Arngrim.    TV fans around the world remember Arngrim as Nellie Oleson, the acid-tongued hellcat – declared “TV history's #1 one bitch” by Vanity Fair – who tormented pure, sweet Laura Ingalls for seven years on “Little House on the Prairie.” In Confessions of a Prairie B*tch, Arngrim offers a riotous evening of anecdotes, stand-up comedy, and multimedia content about life as the scorned yet beloved devious pre-teen, complete with frilly petticoats and curls. The one-woman stage show made its debut in New York City in 2002 and has since become a global sensation, drawing packed houses in the U.S. and abroad. The hit show spawned Arngrim's record breaking New York Times Best Selling memoir, similarly titled "Confessions of a Prairie B*tch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated" (Harper Collins).  Cast at twenty-two years old, Butler had no idea of the lasting impact being cast in Little House on the Prairie would have on him. Having previously starred in Judy Blume's Forever with Stephanie Zimbalist, Butler was fresh- faced and naïve to Hollywood, eager to make his mark. He found his home in the Prairie and embraced his fellow cast members as family. Butler's passion for honest-to-goodness entertainment began in the Prairie and followed him throughout his rich career of acting, producing, and directing. PRAIRIE MAN: My Little House Life & Beyond (on sale June 25, 2024; HC, $28.00) by Dean Butler shares the behind- the-scenes of Little House on the Prairie on a heartfelt journey of “good luck, good television, and the very good— if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so.” Cast as Almanzo, Laura Ingalls' starring love interest, Butler captured the enduring affection of fans and co-stars alike. With a foreword from Melissa Gilbert (Laura) and Alison Arngrim (Nellie), this uplifting memoir follows Butler's journey from childhood to the Prairie and beyond.

Found out Netflix is rebooting 'Little House on the Prairie' and oh, how it takes me back! I loved that show so much, I used to dream about being Laura Ingalls, doing all the prairie things like collecting eggs and working hard just like they did.It always seemed like such a simple life, but simple doesn't mean easy, right? Thinking about those cold winters and chopping wood just to stay warm makes me second guess wanting that lifestyle. Maybe I'll try sewing my own dress first, see if I'm really cut out for prairie life!

What would it be like to move to the legendary prairie land of Laura Ingalls Wilder, only to have your world fall apart? Hello, and welcome to “Likely Stories.” I'm Diane Kemper.

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!!

He appeared in the final four seasons of the show, the spin-off show Little House: A New Beginning, and the three post-series TV movies. He was also a producer for NBC Golf's Emmy-nominated series Feherty for over ten seasons. "The idea of being a cowboy and riding horses began for me at our family ranch in northern California," Dean Butler says. "In this picture, I'm holding our horse, Cricket, with my sister Meg in the saddle. Those beautiful summer days in the country with my family all around me shaped my entire life and prepared me for what was to come in the years ahead." Now, on the occasion of Little House on the Prairie's 50th Anniversary in 2024, he's sharing the details of his young life as an aspiring cowboy and what he learned from Michael Landon in touching a new memoir.

If you're a woman who is part of Generation X or the baby boomers, then you probably, like me, spent your Monday nights growing up watching one of America's most enduring and endearing TV series. The show followed the wholesome Ingalls family and their life in Walnut Grove, Minnesota in the 1800s, loosely based on the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The show's star was Melissa Gilbert who played little Laura Ingalls, an optimistic, curious and mischievous young girl who quickly became America's sweetheart. The pilot for the show aired 50 years ago on March 30th on NBC and the series ran for a remarkable nine seasons. Melissa joins The Excerpt to talk about the show's outsized impact on American culture and share her experience being part of it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Little Bald on the Prairie, tune in for a very special episode that the whole family will enjoy. When lying-ass Nellie falls from Laura Ingalls' beloved horse Bunny, that little potato-faced humpty b*tch fakes paralysis rather than simply admit that she's profoundly bad at riding a horse. When Bunny is scheduled to be destroyed at the local glue factory, little Laura Ingalls assumes the hero's mantle and shoves Nellie's wheelchair down a friggin' mountain! In the end, Laura shows the entire world that Nellie sits on a wheelchair constructed entirely of lies. The moral of the story? Prairie b*tches be crazy. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

  Hey there, listener.    I've shared before that I am (and always have been) a total bookworm. My favorite memories from teaching are getting kids to love reading for reading's sake, not just for points on a quiz. There's something about a great story that makes memories so much more vivid. I can remember exactly where I was, what I was eating, and how I felt while reading a Laura Ingalls book as a fourth grader. I can't tell you the exact title, because memory is like that. We don't always remember the details, but the big picture sticks. In this episode I'm sharing how to use stories to help your big picture stick with your audience by using a narrative framework as your marketing plan. Key Takeaways “It's so easy to forget the specific facts and figures of something but the compelling nature of narratives stay with us.” Psychologist Jerome Bruner's research suggests facts are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they are part of a story. In a random group, roughly 40% of people are auditory learners, 40% respond best to visuals, and 20% learn by doing. Stories help each of these types of learners create a mental picture to view in their mind's eye. Book recommendation: Building a Story Brand by Donald Miller There are five elements to a story that our marketing needs as well: Exposition (Introducing your team and location), rising action (sharing problems your product or service could solve), climax (advocating for your product or service), falling action (sharing next steps), and resolution (showing the transformative power of your product or service). “Features or specifics can be forgotten, but story sticks.” Frame your business's best or worst moments into the context of a story and bring them into a narrative structure. Choose the right medium like a visual on Instagram, a long-form blog post, or a newsletter series.  Connect with Molly Find me, Molly Knuth, on Instagram and Facebook.  Follow Molly Knuth Media on Facebook and Instagram.

We are introduced to Daniel Page in the first few minutes as Laura saves him from a runaway Buckboard. Daniel is Deaf and despite living with his father all his life, has been alone with no way to communicate with others. Enter Laura who is determined to help Daniel find his voice. And while successful with this, Daniel also discovers new feelings as he begins to fall in love with Laura. Laura, once again, watches Almanzo head out on another date and decides things would be easier if she settled for Daniel. However, she quickly realizes this as a mistake and must correct the situation. Also, Albert becomes obsessed with building a doghouse. What was the purpose to the doghouse sub-plot? How long has the Page family been living in the Hero Township area? Why didn't Laura start a group to help teach sign language to others so Daniel would have more people to communicate with? *Disclaimer: Daniel's father is Nathan Page. However, I ended up calling him Nathaniel for the entire re-cap.* Spotify Playlist Episode Track List —————— Father figure - George Micheal  The Wind - Yusuf / Cat Stevens Nettie Teaches Celia - Quincy Jones  Talk to the Animals - Anthony Newley Wonderful - Everclear Albatros  - Fleetwood Mac  Single ladies  - Beyonce  Just a Friend - Biz Markie

Most of us become familiar with North America's plains while reading accounts of Lewis and Clark's voyage west or Laura Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie. For some, this is where their curiosity about the grasslands stopped. My journey, however, continued well beyond that initial exposure. Growing up in the plains, I was surrounded by true naturalists—folks in tune with the ebbs and flows that the seasons provide on this landscape. These naturalists, along with my own experience and education, taught me that the very nature of this vegetation dictates where upland bird species can be found within our Great Plains. North America's sea of grass once covered an area from Illinois to Wyoming and Canada to Texas, touching or encompassing around seventeen states. This “Great Plains” grassland ecosystem is most simply divided into three ecotones: tallgrass, mixed grass, and shortgrass. Within these ecotones there are many ecosites, such as the Sandhills of Nebraska or the Flint Hills of Kansas. These ecosites occur on gradients of longitude, precipitation, and soil.

We're nearing the end of our series, but before we go we have a surprise for you. Is it tin cups and peppermint sticks? A pig's bladder? No! It's our extended interview with the one and only Melissa Gilbert! No one knows what it's like to shoulder the legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder quite like Melissa. 50 years ago, she was cast as Laura Ingalls on the Little House TV show at just 9 years old, which means Melissa has spent close to a lifetime with Laura and all of her complications. She talked to us about that experience, as well as what it was like working on the TV show, finding agency as a young actor, her business Modern Prairie, her activism, and even her thoughts on Rose. We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!

One of the reasons the Little House books are so compelling is because Laura Ingalls was a real person. She lived the experiences she wrote about. These things actually happened. But also? She's a real person, with serious flaws, problematic family members (oh hey, Pa) and traumas she simply couldn't face in her writing. This week, we're fact checking the books. What is actually true? What is made up? And what is left out entirely?  This one's for you, Jack the dog.   Go deeper: Caroline Fraser's Prairie FiresVisit the Laura's birthplace in Pepin, Wisconsin Visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder Park & Museum in Burr Oak, Iowa Edit 7/10: Dr. Debbie Reese posted about this episode, specifically commenting on Jack the dog and the phrase "happy hunting grounds" in her blog, American Indians in Children's Literature.

An iconic TV character is immortal. That truth has become increasingly official in today's digital age where every episode is but a click away. And as Alison Arngrim has well learned, if you played the villain, folks are still pissed. Alison's portrayal of frontier hellion Nellie Oleson struck such a resonate chord with fans that Alison has learned to embrace the Nellie energy and use it for good. Her book is called, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated.Raised in a bohemian show-biz family, Alison has been acting since early childhood. Her role as Nellie allowed her to vent the anger she carried due to suffering repeated sexual abuse at the hands of her brother. The power of Nellie gave her a voice to testify before the California State Senate and help create new law that criminalizes incest.Nellie also provided Alison with a platform to advocate for AIDS research, education and outreach when her TV husband and beloved friend Steve Tracy died of the disease. Her traumatic childhood caught up with her after the wonderful distraction of Little House was over and with a compass that points to “Happy,” she walked into a therapist's office at the age of 21 and said, “Here's what happened to me. Let's get to work.”Alison shares loads of backstage Little House stories and talks about her relationships, then and now, with her cast mates and she is definitely up for a round of LHOP Trivia!Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending the Barack Obama series, Working: What We Do All Day, on Netflix and Shrinking on Apple +, and we shout out the new album on Band Camp from Media Path friend, Melanie, The Magic Bus.Path Points of Interest:Alison ArngrimConfessions of a Prairie Bitch by Alison ArngrimAlison Arngrim on WikipediaAlison Arngrim on TwitterAlison Arngrim on InstagramAlison Arngrim on FacebookLivin' on a PrairieShrinking - Apple +Working: What We Do All Day on NetflixThe Magic Bus by Melanie

Inspired by Lorilee's recent trip to Little House in the Big Woods, this episode will be devoted to Laura Ingalls Wilder and especially her first book in the series, which is really an ode to food. 9 pages on cheese! 30 pages on maple syrup! There's a whole lot to love about food eaten at the Little House in the Big Woods. Timeline note: this episode was recorded before our Christmas episode, in which we made a pretty big announcement. We also make that announcement here, which, if you didn't catch our Christmas episode, might be news to you! Regardless, we are so excited, it's worth sharing twice. :)Shownotes:“Once upon a time, sixty years ago, a little girl lived in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, in a little gray house made of logs,” so begins Mrs. Wilder's first book. As anyone who has read it knows, there is just so much food!Friends, we need to talk about that maple syrup party. Not to mention hasty pudding, Johnny Cakes, and Vinegar Pie, which sounds kind of good to us, to be honest. Let's time travel to the Big Woods, where we will learn all about what Laura, Mary and Ma and Pa ate, how they prepared it, and how we might whip up some of that Big Woods goodness in our own kitchens.Little House in the Big Woods: Bread, Butter and Honeyhttps://therereaderskitchen.com/2016/08/16/little-house-in-the-big-woods-bread-butter-and-honey/What's your favorite Little House food story?

Stéphane Bern, entouré de ses chroniqueurs historiquement drôles et parfaitement informés, s'amuse avec l'Histoire – la grande, la petite, la moyenne… - et retrace les destins extraordinaires de personnalités qui n'auraient jamais pu se croiser, pour deux heures où le savoir et l'humour avancent main dans la main. Aujourd'hui, Laura Ingalls. 

Join Alli and her guest Jo Piazza for a journey back to the Little House in the Big Woods and for a conversation about all things Laura Ingalls! Their discussion centers around the first book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved series, in which very little happens… but that might just be the point. They consider that possibility, along with the depiction of parenting, corporal punishment, prayer, and special occasions in the book.

Laura Ingalls may be the role that Melissa Gilbert is best known for, but her portrayal of Helen Keller in 1979's The Miracle Worker is what she is still — 43 years later — the proudest of. Join us as we chat with our friend Melissa about the intensity of the preparation, the crazy filming experience, and the emotions that came with the movie's release (grab a tissue for the Michael Landon story). And don't worry, she's also sharing fun Little House memories as well as telling us the heartwarming story of introducing her granddaughter to Laura. We're also playing another GenX Q&A game with her, because of course we are. Which Charlie's Angel would she be? What's her favorite roller skating song? And what did she really think of those first episodes with Almanzo?Check out Melissa's new brand Modern Prairie hereFollow PCPS on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTokBecome a supporter of the PCPS on Patreon.

The walls begin to close in on members of Congress, and members of the America First movement, who are actively involved in a Nazi plot to spread misinformation and propaganda across the country. With a crusading newspaper reporter and a Justice Department prosecutor each peeling back the layers of the scheme, the members of Congress involved in the plot launch a desperate effort to shut down both the reporting and the federal investigation into their activities.

You probably know Melissa Gilbert best from her time playing Laura Ingalls for nine seasons on the classic NBC television show, “Little House On the Prairie.” She's done a lot since then – she's continued to act, tried her hand at directing, served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild, and even briefly ran for Congress. But a dozen or so years ago, she left her native Los Angeles to live with her husband, the actor and director Timothy Busfield, in rural Michigan and eventually ended up settling in a rustic, fixer-upper cottage in the Catskills Mountains. It was a pretty radical lifestyle change for Melissa and it sparked a number of realizations about her old life – and the way she wants to live now. For this episode of Next Question, she sits down with Katie to talk about this new phase of her life, the challenges – and rewards – of growing older, and her new book, “Back to the Prairie.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
