Walnut Grove thought it survived Nellie Oleson… but surprise! Chaos has entered the chat in the form of Nancy—arguably less “reincarnation” and more “escalation.”In Part 2 of "The Reincarnation of Nellie", Nancy fully settles into her role as the new Oleson nightmare, and wow, she does not ease into it. We go from bratty to deeply concerning at record speed. This is the episode where the writers said, “What if Nellie… but with zero conscience?” Nancy lies, manipulates, and—just casually—attempts murder. Truly a bold character choice for a child on a prairie.Meanwhile, Harriet is absolutely thriving, because to her, this is just Nellie 2.0: bigger, louder, and somehow even more committed to being terrible. Nels, as always, looks like a man silently begging for a long walk out of town. Neither of them know they are being played by a ridiculously manipulative Nancy, whose catch phrase "they hate me" is in full swing.But Willie, Albert and Laura know the truth. And after some very questionable choices as their teacher (Where are the HIPPA rules?!), they are going to do something about it (can we say, Public Shaming?)Which brings us to our "learning moment" where Nancy finally faces some consequences. Not to mention, Nancy's grand finale look: the mermaid costume. Because nothing says “I may have just tried to kill someone” like showing up dressed as an aquatic fantasy. It's iconic. It's unhinged. It's Little House at its most chaotic.In short: Nellie walked so Nancy could run… straight into villain territory.Then, join us on Patreon where we discuss the different reincarnations of Nellie--from the books, to the tv show, to the musical, and now to the new Netflix series where they are currently casting!

Jessica Obermeyer, welcome to the podcast, and thanks for being here. Jessica Obermeyer Thank you. It's a pleasure. Lyssa Rome So I wanted to get started with a question we often ask, which is: How did you get into this? Was there an aha moment for you and what led you to research aphasia? Jessica Obermeyer That's a great question. I think it was more of a slow awakening and journey to realizing that this is how I wanted to spend my days. When I started studying speech language pathology, I knew I wanted to work in adult rehab with people with traumatic brain injury, stroke, and aphasia. But as an undergraduate and a masters student, I worked on a lot of research related to traumatic brain injury and cognition. But then I had some exposure to aphasia research, and as a clinician, I just loved working with people that had aphasia. I loved running aphasia groups. I started aphasia groups, and when I decided to go back for my PhD, that is what I wanted to focus on. I also had the opportunity to work in adult outpatient, so I got to see a lot of people that had aphasia and were at different points in their rehabilitation journey. And those experiences just made me want to continue and especially do research that could develop and evaluate different treatment approaches for people that had aphasia. Lyssa Rome One of the sort of through lines in your research has been discourse. And I'm curious about how you landed on that as the focus of your work, why discourse? Jessica Obermeyer It's how we talk. It was always, you know, something I was interested in. I think, as a clinician, I felt really daunted by discourse, because it is laborious, you know, it takes a lot of time to think about how you're going to analyze it. But I was always so fascinated by all the linguistic components that make up discourse as a clinician. And then I think as a researcher, I really appreciate how important it is. Everything we do in our day to day lives is often at a discourse level, and that looks so different depending on the type of discourse. So your text exchange is discourse, your emails, your conversations, the interaction with a barista. You know, every kind of functional way that we communicate is often at a discourse level. But it's so different depending on what that interaction looks like, and that's just endlessly fascinating to me as a researcher… challenging but fascinating. Lyssa Rome Challenging both to evaluate and, I guess, to some extent, to treat. One of the things that I really appreciate is that it's how we communicate in our daily lives, and so if we're thinking about life participation and sort of functional approaches to treatment, to my mind, discourse is kind of where it's at. So I'm really excited to get to talk to you more about it. So speaking of discourse, I thought we could talk about your work on ARCS. Maybe we could start by telling us a little bit about the origins and how you became involved in researching. Jessica Obermeyer Yes, I'd be happy to. I started doing research with ARCS as a doctoral student. So it's been a long time, but the origin of ARCS, or Attentive Reading with Constrained Summarization, started with Yvonne Rogalski and Lisa Edmonds, and they published the first paper, I think, in 2009, but someone should go back to check that, and it was originally for someone that had primary progressive aphasia. And then there was another paper published for two people with Wernicke's aphasia. So in the original version, it's based on constrained summarization, and constrained only in that you're giving someone guidelines for how to summarize so they have to read through a segment of text. Usually it's a current event article, but clinically, you could use pretty much any written text. And I've actually done it with someone listening as well. Typically with ARCS, you would have someone read a segment of written text and then summarize it with the constraint or guideline to be specific. So avoid words like it, stuff, thing, he, she. So use that really intentional word retrieval. That's not what we typically do. We often use non-specific words, but it's that therapeutic, like try to go for the really precise and specific word exercise that retrieval and to also stay on topic, so try not to add a tangent, or, you know, additional information that's not related to what you're reading. And then in my work, I've added an additional guideline that's just based on what that person needs. So if they're repeating a lot, then that might be part of the guideline. Often, the guideline is to try to include the essential information that you've identified already. So that's the origin of ARCS. And as a doctoral student, I really wanted to do treatment research. I became really interested in cooperative learning theory, in how people can work together in their learning, collaborate to improve learning. And when I was doing that, reading and thinking about cooperative learning, writing seemed like such an excellent tool for that, because I think one of the hard things about spoken language is that it's just gone. You say it, it's gone. It's very hard to monitor, which I'm acutely aware of right now in this recording. But with written text, you have this wonderful record of what you've produced, and that can be really helpful for thinking about language and planning, especially in an approach like ARCS or ARCS-W that emphasizes this planning, process-driven component, where you're thinking about, "What do I need to include in this discourse? What's important? What's not important? And what have I actually produced? Does that meet, you know, the guidelines I've tried to meet?" So that's how writing actually got pulled into it. And I wanted to keep the spoken language because, I don't know that I've ever met someone with aphasia who told me they didn't want to continue exercising their spoken language, but the writing was just I think, an important addition, because there are so few written discourse treatment options. And it allowed for this emphasis on monitoring and planning and some of the cognitive components of discourse that can be hard to address. Lyssa Rome And maybe you could say a little bit about what you found when you've studied ARCS-W, so the Attentive Reading and Constrained Summarization-Written. Jessica Obermeyer Well, people have improved, which is great. So the one of the things about ARCS and ARCS-W that's maybe unique when we think about aphasia treatment as a whole, is that it's not a treatment with trained items, so no items are repeated. You're working on the process of discourse production, this process of monitoring and trying to be specific, be efficient, you know. In written discourse, people have made improvements in correct information units or CIUs. So at the word level in discourse, the amount of informative and correct information that they're producing, people have made improvements at the utterance level, where they're producing more relevant utterances and more utterances that have a basic sentence structure, and then this hasn't been looked at in all of the studies, but for some of the participants, where we've measured things like main concepts, the amount that the person is conveying the main ideas or concepts in the discourse has improved for some people as well. And then at this spoken discourse. So ARCS-W, it's half spoken, half written. Basically, people have also made similar improvements. So it's been encouraging so far, ARCS-W I would say, compared to ARCS is for people in the more mild aphasia end of the spectrum, especially with the writing component. Any clinician who's worked with people with aphasia will know that writing is often a stressful thing for people with aphasia. So it's for people that are writing at a phrase level already. It doesn't mean that their spelling is perfect, but if they're really struggling to get out a single word, this is probably not the ideal you know treatment for them, but for folks that are more on the mild end who want to work on spoken and written discourse, we have seen some positive results in their spoken and written discourse production. Another thing that I think is really important for this treatment is that it is so multi-modality. When we write normally, we're reading as well. You know, we're not just writing in a vacuum. A lot of the time. We're rereading our text, we are reading that text message and then responding to it. So I like that. I like multi-modality treatments. I like that this is a treatment that allows people to address multiple types of language goals, while, you know, keeping it pretty simple and low tech. Lyssa Rome I think that that really hits on one of the reasons that I like using ARCS-W in my work with people is that It can be used with so many different kinds of texts. So I've used both, you know, work emails, if their goal is to get back to work, newspaper articles that interest them, simplified newspaper articles that interest there's so many possibilities. And anyway, it's exciting to hear you talk about that. Jessica Obermeyer Yeah, I think that as a clinician, that's why I liked ARCS. It was so flexible, so easy to implement. And that's definitely one of the things I like about ARCS-W as well. Make treatment work hard for you. Lyssa Rome So that is interesting to people as well. Where are you going next with your ARCS research? Jessica Obermeyer Great question. I'm writing up results from about six people we ran over the last couple years, so that, I hope, gets submitted for publication soon. And I would really like to adapt this treatment a little further to use more assistive technology for folks that are really wanting to write, but aren't wedded to handwriting or typing in a traditional sense. So can we use speech-to-text? I always mix it up. And can we use methods to support people producing written language that are, you know, different than just typing it? Because people have really different needs in their life. So if that is a way to meet their writing needs, excellent, and I'd like to do that in the future. Lyssa Rome I think that gets back to this idea that it's so flexible, right? You could adapt it in so many different ways. I think that that's really exciting, because it sort of further underscores the flexibility of this approach. And we were talking earlier, before we started recording, about using the same ARCS framework, or ARCS-W framework for material that clients have listened to, things like podcasts or TED Talks. So it seems like it's so adaptable, which is part of what I think makes it really exciting. Jessica Obermeyer I think that's a great idea. We actually did use listening and then summarization for one of the participants in the first arc study, because that met their profile. That's how they wanted to interact with the treatment, and it worked out really well for them, and it's a great way to incorporate people's different interests. Not everyone wants to read, so being able to listen is a great option. And in the treatment for everybody, they always select their writing modality so they can either hand write or type, depending on what's relevant for them. In the population of people that have aphasia now, and I know that this will change over time, people have really different comfort levels with technology and with typing. So if someone says, "No, I never typed. I want to handwrite," then we can do that. And if, if it's the other, we can type. So I think listening is just another way to make it meet someone's needs better. Lyssa Rome I was hoping that you could talk a little bit more about the similarities and differences between different types of discourse. So spoken and written discourse, typed and versus handwritten discourse. Tell us a little bit more about that. Jessica Obermeyer Yeah, of course. Well, I should, I guess, start off by saying, working on the ARCS-W treatment research, I recognized just how little information is out there on written discourse and the majority of discourse measures that we use in aphasiology are based on spoken discourse production. But there are differences in how we speak versus how we write. So in spoken language, we've already talked a little bit about this, it's temporal, it's just gone. So writing is tangible. You have a record of your writing, and that can be really beneficial for people with aphasia. But of course, there's there's other things that can make writing more challenging as well. With spoken language, of course, we have the suprasegmental components of what we're saying. So we have our tone and our facial expression and things that allow us to impart meaning without actually saying it, and we don't have that in writing. Although things are shifting with text messaging technologies, we can add emojis and memes that help us communicate information. But I think when we're thinking about traditional writing, it doesn't have those additional components, and therefore people have to be more explicit with their word choice and a little more clear in what they're trying to say. People are often more efficient in writing. They use fewer words than they would in speaking. So those are some of the differences. We can't automatically correct our written output because we see that our partner doesn't understand. Because in writing, there's this distance between when we're writing versus when we think someone's reading it. Even in more instant platforms like text messaging, we don't know exactly when someone's reading something or how their face looks when they read it, in the way we know with speaking. So those differences do impact how we complete the task. And of course, the context of writing changes it dramatically. So you write notes to yourself really differently than you write a research paper or a work email. And that's not so different from speaking, right? The context is still going to impact how we speak or write, very much. So in my work, I've looked at how writing and typing are the same or different. And this is a pretty new area. There's a couple papers out there on it now, and I think it's gaining traction, which is great, because most people write through typing in their daily life now. What I found is that at a group level, it's pretty similar. Writing and typing look pretty similar for people that have aphasia. But individually it can be very different. So an individual person with aphasia might have a strength or weakness in handwriting versus typing for lots of different possible reasons, like their experience, or hemiparesis, their desire to do one or the other. But it's not, the patterns aren't completely clear. I think clinicians are probably really used to hearing that every individual with aphasia has the potential to be different. So I think that keeps with written and typed language output, handwritten and typed. Some of my recent work has been related to looking at different writing modalities for people with aphasia. So are there differences in their handwritten versus typed discourse production. There's a couple papers out on this now, and hopefully there'll be even more as it gains traction. And I think it's getting more attention in the research literature because of how important writing is in our daily lives now. I mean, most activities of daily living are now completed through, you know, the virtual world, so banking, shopping, lots of messaging are completed through reading and writing now. So that's kind of why I became interested in also working with ARCS-W and having people handwrite versus type, depending on their interest and comfort level. It was always interesting to me why certain people picked one or the other, and kind of what I was seeing. There is some research out there that shows that handwriting is advantageous for learning. So the specificity of how we're moving our fingers to create letters is helpful for retention and learning items, but when we're thinking at the discourse level, when we're not using the same items necessarily, things could potentially be a little different. So I was interested in just exploring some of those differences and patterns that might emerge, and if there was anything I could figure out that might be driving a pattern. So if someone's better at typing than handwriting, is there a reason that they're better? So what I have found so far, and it's it's pretty preliminary, is that at the group level, handwriting and typing look very similar for people with aphasia, so oftentimes, there's not a big difference in the total words that they produce, and that's been confirmed by a larger study as well from Jaime Lee and colleagues. But then when we look at the individual level, that's when you can start to see differences. And I don't think any clinician would be surprised to hear that people with Aphasia are variable or different. So we know that that is common, but it's been pretty interesting and striking in my own work to see how at the group level, these differences just totally even out. But then when we look at individuals, you do see that, you know, someone is more proficient with typing, someone else is more proficient with handwriting. So in a study I did, I think from 2024, we had people fill out this historical information about their typing experience and exposure, we knew about if they had a hemiparesis or not, and so were they able to use both hands or one hand for handwriting or typing? And like I said, we did find these individual differences for some people, but there wasn't a really clear pattern in what was driving those differences? Was it that they hadn't worked with a keyboard a lot? Was it that they only had the use of one hand? And we just didn't have enough data potentially to discern any specific patterns? Lyssa Rome We've talked a little bit about different types of discourse, written, spoken for written, typed versus handwritten. But I wanted to kind of come back to how we measure and analyze discourse, and wanted to ask about a more recent paper and have you describe a little bit about your work on discourse measurement and training clinicians to measure discourse? Jessica Obermeyer That paper is a perceptual rating paper. We've talked a lot about discourse in this chat, and I think probably one of the first things I might have mentioned was how daunting discourse analysis can be. So researchers are aware of that, and always kind of thinking that discourse is so rich, it provides us so much information about someone's linguistic ability, but also their success with communication in a way that other levels of language don't necessarily tell us. So how can we benefit from that rich information in a way that clinicians can do. Because with discourse analysis, you know, in the clinical session, it might not take that long. You're having someone participate in 10 minutes of conversation—that is not a lot of time in your session. The time is all backlogged. The time is after the session is over, and you're trying to transcribe what they've said and then identify discourse measures that you're interested in. And another thing that makes discourse just complex and dynamic is that there's not one measure, you know, there's not a measure of word retrieval and discourse. There are lots of measures that can give you insight into word retrieval and discourse. So this project I did with my collaborator, Marion Lehman, who also works on discourse, and especially conversation. We wanted to see if it was possible to train people to rate conversation samples from people with aphasia on linguistic measures, so measures of language ability. So there are other perceptual rating scales, but a lot of them might be looking at speech acts like initiation or presence or absence of errors. And we were really interested in if these, if perceptual ratings, could map on to the things we're doing in our labs, so you know, correct information units or the degree of informativeness, utterances that have basic structure, coherence, you know, these measures that we are spending many hours, you know, coding line by line, or even word by word, for some. So she and I developed this training and introduced—so the paper that's published, we used research assistants in our research labs, and we exposed them to the linguistic measures that we were interested in. Had them watch some practice videos, and then told them how we had coded them. So what was the value based on our lab coding? And then we did five test samples, so there were four linguistic measures. The training lasted about three hours, and I did five test samples. And we got some really good feedback from the RAs who did the training and rating samples. We had some promising results for especially two of the measures that we used in their training, and now we're really interested in extending that work with clinicians. So the people that were in the study before had very limited experience listening to people that had aphasia. They hadn't worked with people that had aphasia, they hadn't done extensive clinical training. We're hopeful that if we can use their feedback to fine tune the training and rating procedures and recruit some clinicians to participate, that hopefully we could get even better results and hopefully provide a tool to clinicians where they can be thinking about linguistic components of conversation in a way that's more feasible to their schedule and their workload, because we recognize how much time it takes. And I think it's, it's just a barrier to entry, even, because if someone is feeling like, "I can't do this, I don't have time to do this," then it's hard to even learn about or get started. Lyssa Rome Yeah, I'm so happy to hear that you're that you're focused on the feasibility for clinicians who have productivity requirements, who don't necessarily have a lot of time at the end of the day to do that kind of really in depth analysis. I think it's exciting. Jessica Obermeyer Oh, for sure, and clinicians, I think, work a lot of extra hours, but they have a whole caseload, you know, so balancing everybody's needs and being able to to provide excellent care to everybody is, is always a challenge, and hopefully, hopefully we'll, we'll be able to continue this work. We're trying to get some funding for the project because we want to be able to pay SLPs who participate in the research. Lyssa Rome As we start to wrap up, I'm wondering what you would like clinicians who are listening to this podcast to take away from what we've talked about today, from your work. Jessica Obermeyer I think one takeaway would be for clinicians to think about incorporating handwriting and typing into their existing treatment practice. So I've talked a lot about ARCS-W. ARCS-W is not for everybody. It is a very specific treatment approach for people that have mild aphasia who want to work on discourse-level writing. But there are so many ways to have people engage with handwriting and typing that will serve them in their daily life. So we've talked a lot about how literacy is just such a big—it's a bigger part of our lives than it was 20 years ago. People can achieve a lot of independence and autonomy if they're able to interact with reading and writing and complete it successfully. So I would really encourage clinicians to think about how they can incorporate reading and writing into their existing treatment. A study I was involved with— Liz Madden surveyed SLPs on their practices assessing and treating reading and writing, and one of the take-homes from that project was that clinicians evaluate writing more than treating it. And especially handwriting, versus typing. But I think that given the way society is moving, asking people like, "What's important for you, handwriting or typing?" and let's make that our practice. Lyssa Rome I appreciate how person centered and flexible that advice is right. We're trying to meet people where they're at and recognizing that our treatment can be tailored to the person who's sitting in front of us. I'm curious to hear what is coming next for you. What are you excited about in your work? Jessica Obermeyer That's actually a great segue about how we can tailor treatment, because that is one of the projects that I'm working on now, how we can think about treatment in terms of what are the things that make it work, versus things that maybe aren't essential components of the treatment? With the last study I did with ARCS-W of the things that we were really trying to understand better was: Did it matter if people hand wrote or typed? Did they have the same kind of level of generalization to the other writing modality? And in that study, it doesn't seem that they did. And I think there's really specific reasons for that, because we're working at this discourse level without repeated items. And so you might not see the same impact of that handwriting learning boost, because we're not repeating things as often. That's one of my real interests is thinking about how we work on treatment, how we deliver treatment, how clinicians can deliver treatment. Because I am very guilty of this. Working on writing takes a long time. It takes a long time for people with aphasia to produce written discourse level text. So in the ARCS W studies, it's an hour-and-a-half treatment session where we only work on ARCS-W. But I know I recognize that that's like not most clinicians' daily life, and it doesn't mirror what therapy many people with aphasia receive. So thinking about treatment in a more component-based and mechanistic way that makes it easier for clinicians to adapt to their their practice is is one of the things I would like to flesh out in the future. And then continuing to work on this training and perceptual rating protocol. One of the things my colleagues and I would like to do is create a training that can be shared freely, where clinicians can easily get access to it, and then collect more robust data. I mean, only if we get good results, of course. If we don't, we will not be sharing it. But those are the big things I'm thinking about in the next couple of years, and then beyond that, even more. Lyssa Rome Well, I look forward to reading more of your work and to seeing what comes next as well. Dr. Jessica Obermeyer, thanks so much for talking with us. I really appreciate it.

After spending an entire episode dissecting the first half of Part 2 of Little House on the Prairie Season 6's dramatic finale, we are finally diving into the last half—where the misunderstandings unravel, the truths come out, and Walnut Grove delivers peak romantic payoff.Almanzo's secret sacrifices are revealed through a scary bout of pneumonia (yes, he really was laying in a real ice tub!), and Laura finally realizes that maybe—just maybe—she misjudged the whole “saloon woman” situation.Meanwhile, Nellie and Percival continue to steal scenes. Percival dumping eggs on Nellie's head remains one of the most unexpectedly satisfying moments in Walnut Grove history. Percival continues to be the only man in town brave enough to challenge the Oleson women, and somehow it works. A quick proposal and wedding for these 2, because even Nellie can't resist a good Jewish man. "Off to the honeymoon!"And of course, we revel in the big romantic payoff that makes this two-part saga worth every sigh, side-eye, and saloon misunderstanding. There are moments that remind us why this show still makes us swoon 50 years later.It took us three podcast episodes to cover this one television event, but honestly? These iconic Prairie love stories deserve the extra time.Then, join us on Patreon where we discuss our own relationships and the ways our better halfs support us.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

Before we dive in, we invite YOU to submit your Valentine's Day Little House character slogans in the comments on our YouTube channel! We'll pick five to feature on our social media on Valentine's Day. Be as silly—or as cutting—as you like. We cannot wait to read them.Now buckle up, because this episode is LOADED. Between awkward social situations, questionable advice, and peak prairie tomfoolery, everyone is learning (or very much not learning) important lessons about growing up, feelings, and communication. We're recapping "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not-Part 1" and we're breaking down the romantic chaos, the side-eye moments, and why Part 1 has us screaming, “JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER.” Saddle up—prairie romance has officially entered its messy era.Spring arrives in Walnut Grove with big feelings and zero impulse control. Laura's dream comes true when Almanzo proposes—romance! hope! a future!—until Charles Ingalls calmly announces that no daughter of his is getting married before 18 (and honestly… he's not wrong). Laura eventually handles this with surprising maturity. Almanzo, meanwhile, reacts like an impatient brat who's taken bad advice from the manosphere, launching a sulk so legendary it's earned him a near-unanimous Reddit consensus as a douchebag (sorry, Dean!).Over in Oleson-land, Nellie's Restaurant is failing, so in comes efficiency expert Percival Dalton. Armed with charts and sheer willpower, he somehow transforms Nellie from “actively hostile” to “mildly tolerable,” which in Walnut Grove counts as a miracle. Elsewhere, Mary and Adam receive devastating news about Adam's father, shattering both their hearts and Adam's dream of funding the new school for the blind.But wait—there's more (and it's only Part 1)! Enter Houston, a smooth-talking stranger in Sleepy Eye who quickly learns that Laura, despite her youth, is a certified Frontier Shark. In what may be the fastest real-estate deal in TV history, Laura secures the old courthouse for the future blind school.By episode's end, Nellie is fully in love after one of the most iconic scenes of all time (yes—the eggs, the “short” jokes, all of it), and Ma quietly plays matchmaker by sending Laura to Sleepy Eye to clear her head… fully aware that Almanzo is already there. Ma Ingalls knows exactly what she's doing.THEN, join us on Patreon, where Alison talks to us about Percival himself, the beloved Steve Tracey!Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

Privacy? Never heard of her.Meanwhile, Jonathan and Alice Garvey's marriage is hanging by a thread—and it's not a sturdy one.

(Yep, she's got more baggage than Doc Baker's medical bag.)Meanwhile, Alison and Pamela unpack the deeply unsettling thoughts about Harold—revealing a shocking backstory that involves grooming, manipulation, and trauma that Little House only hints at.

Christina returns to the podcast to discuss this sometimes hilarious episode! Title: Fred Writer: Don Balluck Director: Michael Landon Air Date: November 29, 1976 In “Fred,” Laura Ingalls trades 40 cents for a troublesome billy goat named Fred to save him from Mr. Parsons' shotgun. The goat's antics wreak havoc in Walnut Grove, from eating Charles' rushes to headbutting Mrs. Oleson and getting drunk on Mr. Edwards' moonshine. Charles, frustrated after a grueling job, demands Fred go, but Laura's persistent optimism leads her to seek homes with Carl's pa and Reverend Alden, all ending in comedic disaster. When Fred eats Phineas Jenks' rushes, it forces Jenks to pay Charles $12, earning Fred a reprieve. Ultimately, Laura finds Fred with a herd of nanny goats, choosing to let him stay with his new family. This lighthearted episode, directed by Michael Landon, blends slapstick humor with lessons on responsibility and letting go, showcasing Laura's growth and the Ingalls' resilience amidst chaos. 10 Heartfelt Quotes: “He's the last of his kind.” “He kind of looks like a Fred.” “I saved his life.” “I think we ought to just leave him.” The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.

OA1183 - We continue our ongoing look at some of our favorite Warren Court-era Supreme Court cases with this one-line 1958 decision finding as a matter of law that one of the most important LGTBQ magazines in U.S. history was not publishing obscenity. We begin by trying to find anything resembling smut in the archived pages of ONE magazine before Matt explains a bit more about the history of obscenity law in the U.S. and how Roth v U.S. changed everything just before ONE's cert petition was taken up. Jenessa gets into the proven psychological benefits of being allowed to be who you are in public, and we consider the state of obscenity law today and who still might want to use it. Roth v.

However, there's something on the horizon to disrupt the peace and tranquility of this visit to the tiny hamlet. Enter Nathan Lassiter, a land developer who has a major surprise for the Citizens of Walnut Grove. Despite their best efforts, things look bleak for everyone in the W.G. ...that's until they find a loophole to exploit and end up giving Lassister a surprise of his own.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Je connais une machine fabuleuse, capable de transformer l'énergie mécanique en énergie hydraulique, qui date de l'Antiquité ! Elle permet de démarrer un avion, de refroidir une centrale nucléaire, ou simplement de tourner un volant de voiture, ce qui fait qu'on la retrouve partout autour de nous ! Cette technologie de pointe, on l'appelle la pompe hydraulique, et elle remonte aux savants grecs d'Alexandrie. Alors aujourd'hui on va plonger - admirez le jeu de mot - dans les mécaniques des fluides de l'Antiquité, et vous allez halluciner !Bonne écoute !

Oleson, of Adams Friendship FFA, began her operation by completing everyday tasks familiar to many cattle producers. She spent time feeding, cleaning waterers and mucking pens. As she continued to grow in her skillset, her involvement in the operation expanded as well. Today, she makes breeding decisions, operates machinery and performs artificial insemination for the herd.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dean and Alison are just a day away from the Little House on the Prairie Cast Reunion at Columbia State Historic Park—but there's still plenty of time to recap one of the funniest episodes in Little House history!This week, we dig into “Here Come the Brides” (Season 4), where we come to a shocking realization: almost every Little House wedding is a surprise wedding. Seriously—BOOM. No invitations. No planning. Just, “Surprise! You're hitched!”This episode has it all: Nellie in full teenage heat (seriously, someone hand her a fan), Mrs. Oleson attempting homicide, and little Willy not giving even half a hoot. Pig farming somehow becomes sexy, Miss Beadle (the fabulous Charlotte Stewart) becomes a Mrs., and Nellie is crowned the Pig Queen of Minnesota…for approximately ten minutes.Alison shares some epic behind-the-scenes stories—how Jonathan Gilbert came up with that pratfall, what it was like working with “Luke,” and the sneaky way Charlotte helped cast her future husband in the show. She also reflects (with just a tiny bit of cringing) on just how, uh… aggressively enthusiastic Nellie was in this one. It's pure comedy gold.And of course—join us on Patreon, where Alison spills even more tea about this episode. Trust us, it's worth it.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

God's Love is powerful and teaches us grace and mercy.

The moment we've all be waiting for is finally here....Willie graduates from school! Not only that he has a job, a new girlfriend and something that sounds like a five year plan. Which all contradict with the plans that Harriet has for him. But after years/seasons of being the lowest on the Oleson family tree, Willie finally has a major glow up. Why have we gotten so few episodes that featured Willie? How did Nancy get a bridesmaid/maid of Honor dress so quickly? If Laura was just gifted this huge house, couldn't she have her parents move back to the area?

Dean and Alison catch us up on their recent adventures at the Cherry Blossom Festival (spoiler: it was charming, floral, and probably involved a President's grandchild). We dip a toe into Waltons territory—just don't say the “W” word around Pamela! And we've got an update on Baby Carrie, courtesy of the Greenbush twins themselves.Then it's back to basics with the Season 2 premiere of Little House on the Prairie, “The Richest Man in Walnut Grove.” This episode is a beautiful reminder of the show's core values—delivered with simplicity, warmth, and just enough hardship to cue the waterworks before the opening credits are done rolling. (Yes, it starts with cow-milking. Yes, we're already crying.)The economic woes of the 1870s hit uncomfortably close to home for 1970s viewers—and, honestly, still hit today. Charles is broke (again), Mrs. Oleson is insufferable (as usual), Nellie and Willie are on their villain era tour (standard), and Ma and the girls show up as the resilient queens they are (per tradition). And Miss Whipple? She's quietly running the town with a thimble in one hand and perhaps an illegal mani-pedi operation in her basement. Or is that just Pamela's theory? Regardless... she's a total Boss B.Of course, in true Little House fashion, there's a moral twist: it's not about money, it's about love, community, and the kind of hard-earned respect you can't buy at Olsen's Mercantile. After all, Pa may be broke, but he's rich in love, sweat, and suspenders.Then, join us on Patreon!

Margie Oleson, Ed.D. helps leaders crush their goals with better clarity and alignment among teams. As the founder and CEO of Oleson Consulting, she is a dynamic speaker and leadership expert who shares knowledge from her education and decades of experience in corporate America – from a variety of industries, including American Family Insurance, Ameriprise, Cargill, Catholic Charities, Ecolab, Securian Financial, St. Jude Medical, Target HQ, UCare, Lockheed Martin, and more. Leaders aren't set up to develop or adopt the right leadership skills and behaviors. Left to ‘make it up as they go', most learned from past leaders… who were also making it up! Dr. Oleson helps leaders develop the right leadership capabilities to grow and maintain high-performing teams, which is the single greatest strategic advantage for any organization.

Alison shares her Paris adventures (yes, including some rodent encounters), Dean dishes on their exciting new ventures with Prairie Legacy Productions, and Pamela goes on a rant against possums (apologies to the possum lovers out there).But then—on to the main event!We're recapping another standout episode from Season 1: “School Mom”. Caroline Ingalls steps in as the earthy and compassionate substitute teacher, helping a student in need named Able.And we ask the most important question:Why does Able look like he's 42 years old?Able was played by Dirk Blocker, the son of Bonanza legend Dan Blocker and the best friend and mentor of Michael Landon, and shockingly, was only 17 when the episode was filmed. After his father, Dan's passing, Michael Landon brought Dirk into the Little House family to honor his dad's legacy—and wow, did he deliver.Alison and Dean also reveal a shocking tidbit about Miss Beadle's stunt double (you won't believe it!) and ask the pressing question: where does Miss Beadle actually live?Pa steps up in peak “Chesty Charles” fashion, cooking dinner for Caroline after her long day of teaching (ladies, we all know how hot that is—gentlemen, take notes).We also dive into how the relationship between Karen Grassle and Michael Landon shifted over time, leading to Karen's role being gradually diminished. Alison opens up about how this impacted her and the rest of the cast—and how Karen still showed up, always delivering powerful, heartfelt performances.And of course, no Little House episode recap is complete without calling out the real villains of the Prairie: the school children. Seriously, Walnut Grove, do better! Honestly, the level of petty in that classroom (including Mrs. Oleson) is chef's kiss terrible.This Ma-centric episode is a beautiful example of empathy, compassion, and patience. It tugs at every heartstring and proves once again why Caroline Ingalls remains the #1 mom of all time. Then join Pamela, Dean, and Alison over on Patreon where Alison and Dean will spill the beans about Prairie Legacy Productions, and what's in store for 2025!Don't forget to subscribe, comment, leave a review, and share this episode with fellow Bonnetheads.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

We kick things off with a little chat about Alison Balson, who played the unforgettable Nancy Oleson, along with some fond (and hilarious) memories from Dean and Alison. Here's a quick shout-out to Nancy—she brought a whole new level of wild to Walnut Grove! Let's hear it for a little Nancy love!Now, cue the bug spray and brace yourself—it's time for The Campout!An epic misadventure in the great outdoors where the Olesons and the Ingalls attempt a relaxing weekend of camping, (spoiler: no one was relaxed), a questionable school project and some very odd ideas of what one would consider a "vacation".This episode marks the beginning of Katherine MacGregor's comedic brilliance on the show, while also giving us a peek into Mrs. Oleson's more vulnerable side. Yes, underneath all the feathers and finger-pointing, she's got feelings! And this peek behind the curtain only deepened our love-hate obsession with her. It also opened up a whole new dimension to the Olesons and deepened our love-hate relationship with them. Especially the hate part.Alison spills the tea on what the Olesons were actually eating at that dinner table, how they filmed the now-iconic floating-down-the-river moment (it was way more dangerous than it looked), and the very creative (read: gross) way she and Melissa Gilbert stayed warm in their wetsuits. Let's just say it involved a bodily function and a lot of friendship. Dean and Alison also dive into Katherine MacGregor's unique approach to her role, including how she wove elements of her real life into many of Mrs. Oleson's unforgettable moments.And finally, things get real when Pamela asks the question we didn't know we needed:“What's your damage, Pa?!”Grab your bonnet, pour some of Ma's coffee, get out your anti-itch ointment, and join us for a laugh-filled, memory-soaked deep dive into one of the most delightfully chaotic episodes Little House ever gave us. This one's a classic!Then join Pamela, Dean, and Alison over on Patreon for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the growing negativity on Little House social platforms. We're taking a stand against toxic, bigoted, and harmful behavior from those who, somehow, believe there's space for hatred in the world of Walnut Grove. It's a powerful moment of reflection, solidarity, and setting the record straight—and one you won't want to miss.Don't forget to subscribe, comment, leave a review, and share this episode with fellow Bonnetheads.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

CURRENTS is a stunning debut from Jake Oleson as it pushes the grammar of 180 filmmaking to new heights. Oleson comes from the world of advertising and music videos, and he went through a rigorous pre-production process where he had actually already edited the entire piece before shooting any production footage by using still stereoscopic test photos and videos. The insights from this pre-production animatic are evident, as there are some of the most stylized movements I've seen, and he managed to not trigger any of the common motion sickness triggers. There are some really powerful cuts that seamlessly juxtapose different environmental contexts for dramatic effect. CURRENTS tells the story of a young woman who leaves her Vietnam rural countryside home to the city seeking more economic opportunity. Aside from a short exchange with her mother at the beginning, the rest of the entire story is told through spatial storytelling, driving electronic music that was also composed by Oleson, and a shader-filled point-cloud scene with some animated motion capture. It's really quite a beautiful piece that gave me a glimpse of the next phase of cinematic immersive filmmaking. It's also worth mentioning CURRENTS in the context of other musical experiences since Oleson is both a musician who has a background in music video production. The music was specifically composed to serve the narrative in this instance, but it will be interesting to see more and more immersive music videos start to crop up now that the Apple Immersive video format is starting to get licensed out to folks like Vimeo, who commissioned this piece. Apple's push for 180-degree immersive video has brought up some broader discussions about the merits and downsides to 360-degree films. From a creator's point of view, 180-degree filmmaking is a lot easier to do logistically as it is closer to existing production pipelines, which is brilliantly demonstrated in CURRENTS. It's also worth noting that CURRENTS has a point-cloud scene that shows up in the middle of their cinematic 180-degree immersive video that represents a key turning point in the story and journey of the main protagonist. There's also some really poetic shaders that are translating the static scenes into even more of a dynamic visual representation of the business and chaos of the city. It has quite a narrative impact when juxtaposed against the photorealistic footage and custom-written and driving musical score. Even though the Apple Vision Pro has been out for over a year now, SXSW is still an opportunity for folks to check out the Apple Vision Pro for the first time. It was probably easiest to check out on CURRENTS who had six different headsets and was using the Sandwich Vision Theater app in Kiosk mode to seamlessly jump into the experience bypassing the time-consuming eye tracking calibration step. I was also particularly interested in Olson's production pipeline, the camera gear and kit costing less than $5k (Canon EOS R5 Camera Body, RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye, & DJI Ronin-SC Gimbal Stabilizer), Topaz Video AI Enhancer upscaling tools to go from 8k to 16k, and all of the due diligence that he did to understand and mitigate motion sickness triggers. The end result feels like a music video that tells a timeless story of the tension between rural and urban homes and what is lost in the pursuit of career opportunities.

Effective LeadershipEffective leadership is something every organization needs and we've known about the art and science of effective leadership and human team management for decades.But yet there's a gap between people in leadership positions knowing and doing. And it begs the question, why? Why is it so hard? What is standing in our way?Those are a few of the things we'll explore with Dr. Margie Oleson. What You'll Discover About Effective Leadership:* How senior management often leaves effective leadership to chance* The 3 tactical things needed for more effective leadership* The perils of meeting overload* How clarity around goals reflects effective leadership* The 3 things you need to have clarity around goals* And much moreGuest: Dr. Margie OlesonMargie Oleson helps business leaders crush their goals by installing processes and habits for better clarity and alignment among the top team. She is a dynamic speaker and leadership expert who shares knowledge from her doctorate in organization development and decades of experience working with leaders and groups in many industries and companies. She recognizes that companies aren't set up to develop leaders or help them adopt the right leadership skills and behaviors. They are left to ‘make it up as they go – learning from past leaders… who were left on their own as well. Having leaders who know how to lead high-performing teams is the greatest strategic advantage for any organization – remembering Wickman (Traction): ‘As goes the leadership team, so goes the company.'At the heart of her legacy is Top Team Accelerator™, a transformative force driving leadership development and cohesive, high-performing top teams… with changes that last in the future. She also helps leaders fix their meetings, use the Working Genius assessment to improve planning and execution, and right-size interactions across departments to break down silos and increase clarity and alignment.

Harriet is approached with a new method on how to operate her restaurant to earn more profits. Due to Harriet's inability to read a contract, she ends up over her head. Harriet is not the only one feeling the effects of the contract: Mr. Oleson, Caroline, Hester Sue and, of course, Charles are all taking on more burden with less pay. Realizing he might be stuck making dinners for the brood at Plum Creek, Charles comes up with a plan to take down Mrs. Sullivan's Army. How does Hester Sue spend her time away from the restaurant? What's on the menu over at the Oleson's restaurant? Where does all the food come from?

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Ann Oleson. Ann embarked on her entrepreneurial journey in 2011. When she started her first business, Ann found herself navigating uncharted territory as a female entrepreneur. She craved role models and networks to guide her along the way. She was specifically looking for women founders of companies generating over a million dollars a year in revenue. Ann got there through creativity and persistence. Today, Ann and her network are breaking barriers and defying expectations. As a founding partner at Return on Good, Ann is a passionate advocate for using time, talent and treasure to make the world a truly better place. Return on Good, a strategic philanthropy company focused on helping its clients do the most good in the world, centers on her deep experience with her own family's family office, leading investment and philanthropy, and drives her dedication for her work. Her love rests firmly in the dynamics of the family office, the complexities of organizational structure and design, an alignment for decision-making and the ability to make exceptional opportunities toward a return on good to the world. Ann's interest in impact investment, philanthropic strategy and her savvy with streamlining it all lead her to start Return on Good with her husband, Jay Kelly. ROG uniquely partners with phenomenal clients to develop engagement strategies for philanthropic investment, working with family offices across the globe. Through impact investing, sustainable investing, Venture Funds and strategic giving, ROG is the ideal connector to bring high-impact family offices into meaningful relationships with deserving nonprofits and innovative organizations. As a frequent presenter at Family Office events in the U.S. and abroad, she speaks on current trends in philanthropy, impact investment strategy, healthcare and the inner workings of the family office. Ann's entrepreneurial journey further strengthens Return on Good; her startup digital marketing agency supported higher education and was named to Inc. 500 and 5000 four years in a row. Within seven years, this thriving business was acquired by private equity investors. Ann then served as Chief Marketing Officer for Ruffalo Noel Levitz, before being named Chief Executive Officer at Via-TRM, which specializes in international education and study abroad software. Under her leadership, the company rebuilt the marketing and sales infrastructure, turned the first profitable quarter ever and exceeded revenue goals. The ability to take 30+ years of marketing/communications/sales/fundraising and business experience to focus on helping rising social good companies find funds and nonprofits build marketing and fundraising expertise was the dream she has always been looking for. EVERY day is filled with challenge, learning, experience, passion and a chance to make one thing better than it was yesterday. Return on Good helps: family offices with philanthropic alignment and strategy, social good companies to find impact investors focused on results and good, and non-profits to build marketing and fundraising strategy long term. Her awards include Women of Influence, 40 under 40, Inc.5000, HER Woman of Achievement, and CBJ Fastest Growing Company's Award.
