Jesus was tiny: a wee baby! Yet He was described as 'Wonderful Counsellor'. God began His greatest work through a small beginning: Martin suggests that He may want to work in us through the small beginnings in our lives. Join Richard and Anna as they ponder the message.

Speaker: Hannah Jones // Date: Sunday 7 December 2025 // Scripture: Isaiah 9:1-3, 6–7

This Christmas we give thanks to the one whose wonderful plan answers the hopes and fears we all have. And here's the amazing thing – we're part of that plan! Dave brings the message, and Phil and Neil are our hosts.

Speaker: David Kibble // Date: Sunday 30 November 2025 // Scripture: Isaiah 2:1–5

The Small Wonder of Jesus coming has always been part of God's wonderful plan. Isaiah 2 hints at this future hope, acknowledges the present reality we live in and invites us to walk in the light now.

“The Neighbors” (September 14, 1985) “Victor / Vicki-toria” (February 14, 1987) “The Bad Seed” (November 7, 1987) Ignore whatever you might have heard about Small Wonder and focus instead on how the show spotlighted Vicki (a.k.a. V.I.C.I), a kid who was labeled as different just for acting the only way she knew. As a result of being defiantly resistant to social norms, Vicki has become iconic to all sorts of 80s kids also failed to fit in, and in this episode, we'll make the argument for the ways she speaks to queer audiences. Tiffany Brissette, you should have been a star. Works cited (among others): This Yahoo! Entertainment retrospective The Mike & Juliet Show cast reunion

What's up, dudes? It's the M3gan before it was popular. Yes, it's a Small Wonder Christmas as Caleb Cote from Insert Reference Here, Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps, and I talk about the robot girl! It's the 1988 episode “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow!”After Ted makes a comment that he's dead if his credit gets cut off after a few unpaid bills, Vicki types "Cut off credit - He's dead!" into his bank account information on the computer. Ted tries to correct it at the bank, but they still don't believe he's alive even when standing in front of them. Consequently, he creates a plan to stage a fake funeral. Meanwhile, Jamie tries to sell "Christmas tree seeds" to make money. He dresses up as Santa and has Vicki dress as a Christmas tree. They even play up their “sadness” at the fake passing of their dad to score some sympathy sales. In the end, Ted reveals himself as alive and regains his credit…and his life.Online banking? Check.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Well, after 6 years of covering all the episodes of the show Small Wonder, we've finally reached the end of the Series with the four final episodes of Season 4. Today, I covered S4E21: The Tattletale, which aired on April 29, 1989. In this episode a gossip reporter reveals Vicki's secret. I was a little surprised by this episode, because I just assumed the reporter was a woman, when it turns out to be someone who went to college with Ted and Joan. This was creative and had Harriet, Jamie and Reggie dressed like Vicki towards the end of the episode and doing a song and dance routine. S4E22: The Strike, which aired on May 6, 1989. In this episode Ted's union strike inspires the whole family. This episode also has a side plot of the kids in Jamie's class going on strike after their demands are not met, one of these demands is allowing the kids to bring their pets to school in a daycare situation. Interesting, Joan meets them halfway and tells them they can have a pet day show and tell once a month. The vending machine part of their demands is a kid wish list of things they wish they could have in school. Ted's demands from his co workers to the Union board aren't wrong, increase percentage in profit sharing and more coverage for dental as well as a pay increase. Normal things any employee would want. S4E23: See No Evil, which aired on May 13, 1989. In this episode Vicki's eyesight is failing, so she cannot identify bike thieves. This was a goofy episode, Vicki wearing eyeglasses, granted it's understandable, things wear out and often need to be replaced. Ted gets Jamie a new bike, which then proceeds to get stolen in the schoolyard and Vicki has to help identify the thieves based on their voices. This episode was just ok. and finally the last episode of Season 4 and the final episode of the show. S4E24: Thy Neighbor's Wife, which aired on May 20, 1989. In this episode Joan poses as Mrs. Brindle to impress a businessman. I hated this episode because it centered around Brandon and him trying to impress a Japanese businessman because he wants to hire a "family man" and after a fight with Bonnie who takes Harriet and moves into a hotel, Brandon is in a bind and begs Joan to pretend to be Bonnie, he even has Joan and Vicki dress in what now a days would be considered racially insensitive kimonos and delivering lines that would not pass for appropriate by todays TV standards. Ted was written out for most of the episode for a flight to Texas, but then comes back in the last 5 minutes. Richard Christie (Ted Lawson) actually directed this final episode. He did a good job. Well, there you have it, I hope you all enjoy these last episodes of the show and thank you so much for listening to this podcast on Small Wonder for the last 6 years. Have a great Summer everyone!

Hello Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today I covered S4E17: More About L.E.S., which aired on February 4, 1989. In this episode L.E.S. is back, and despite Ted's assurances that the rogue A.I. program has been rendered harmless, it comes back in a big way by possessing Vicki's body as its own. Honestly, this episode was a dud. I didn't care about L.E.S. when I first met him and I was pissed off that Ted didn't learn his lesson from the first time. We see this same thing happen in the next episode S4E18: Hooray For Hollyweird!, which aired on February 11, 1989. In this episode Ted's robot, Vanessa, wreaks havoc in Hollywood. This was the episode I was most looking forward to and I kind of wish we got more Vanessa. It was nice to see Tiffany Brissette, stretch her acting legs and speak normally when she has to do a robot voice 99% percent for of the show's run. This episode was over too quickly. S4E19: Minnesota Vicki, which aired on February 18, 1989. In this episode To land a new promotion with the boss, Mr. Jennings, Ted invites him to dinner and a playful game of pool until Jennings starts betting the shirt off his back, and a lot more, playing against Vicki. If we took out Brandon, this would have been a better episode, Ted's boss is a major dumb butt, he plays pool with Vicki and almost loses his house betting against her. We don't see Brandon get fired, I wish that would have happened, apparently this episode the writer's love to crap on Ted's character always vying for a promotion he will never get because Brandon is also vying for it. Also how many bosses does Ted have, between Brandon, Mr. Jennings's son and Mr. Jennings himself. Good grief! and an adorable episode S4E20: Vicki Doolittle, which aired on February 25, 1989. In this episode Ted installs a new language translation device (Random Access Multiple Concurrent Linguistic Analytical Sequencer) into Vicki that enables her to understand any language, including even animals', like the boss' dog; Mrs. Jennings forces Mr. Jennings to fire Ted when Joan balks at doing uncredited work for an affair. This was a cute episode and Mrs. Jennings gets her comeuppance, finally. I hope you enjoy the episodes and I'll see you in June for the final 4 of Season 4 and the final 4 of the Series as we wrap up this podcast finally, 6 years later.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S4E13: The Jailbirds, which aired on January 7, 1989. In this episode, Jamie and Vicki are arrested for spray-painting a wall--and its owner's $60 shirt. This was a fun episode. I love the lesson that Ted and Joan teach Jamie and Vicki also the female cop was played by Jo Marie Payton who later went on to play Harriet Winslow on Family Matters. S4E14: Rags to Riches, aired on January 14, 1989. In this episode Vicki and Jamie invent a cleaning solution. This episode is pretty much a Jamie get rich quick scheme that gets out of hand when he gets in over his head and it only gets worse when he Brandon and Harriet get involved. S4E15: Radio Days, which aired on January 21, 1989. In this episode Jamie produces a radio play about World War II. This was a creative episode, mostly the last 10 minutes was the best part. S4E16: Kid-O-Grams, which aired on January 28, 1989. In this episode Jamie starts up a singing-telegram business. This was a fun episode with the telegram business and the songs that were created were catchy. Vicki and Harriet's outfits at the end were cute.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S4E9: My Favorite Martian, which aired on November 19, 1988. In this episode Brandon sees Vicki's hologram of an alien spaceship. Just Brandon being a massive dum dum per usual. The family decides to have fun with him by using Vicki to pretend she's an alien, after Brandon alerts (what I refer to thanks to the show ALF) as the ATF (Alien Task Force) to investigate this strange phenomenon. Vicki the alien tells Brandon that if he says he never saw any spaceship than her kind will make him King of their planet, he of course buys this charade and pretends he didn't see anything. Weird episode, but a bit better than the other 3. S4E10: Mommie Dearest, which aired on November 26,1988. In this episode, Joan's father comes for a visit, and Ida Mae decides he's going to be her next husband, since he's a doctor and she's a money hungry be-otch. I could not stand this episode or Ida Mae, this character does not need to exist on this show at ALL! S4E11: No Laughing Matter, which aired on December 4, 1988. In this episode Vicki leaks nitrous oxide ( we don't see this until the last 10 minutes of the episode, Jamie teaches for a week ( we don't get to see any of him teaching just the after effects of the kids failing the test (what a cop-out, I know we weren't going to get Cory/'Mr. Feeny level Teacher of the Week episode), but honestly it would have been nice to actually see him teach. S4E12: Tag, You're It, which aired on December 11, 1988. Ok, so this episode must have been filmed earlier because Jamie's already been in school for a while and now it's talking about the first day of 8th grade and also Harriet is now going to his school because she skipped a grade and is now in 6th grade (I call bullsh*t on this). Jamie's trying to get this valley girl speaking airhead of a girl to ask him to the dance ( I swear most of the girl's he's been into this season all have that (like whatever valley girl tone to their dialogue) it's grating on my nerves. It's basically a Sadie Hawkins dance where the girls ask the boys or (according to Full House a Backwards Dance)> Harriet makes it her mission to get Jamie to take her she just has to tag him (you know, like the game). Vicki is made the Hall Monitor giving out demerits to the students thanks to the new Vice Principal played by Marcia Wallace known for her role of Ms. Krabappel on The Simpsons. As far as these episodes go, they were all that good, not too surprising, since it's the last Season of the show. Have a good April and I'll see you towards the end of the month for the next 4 episodes in Season 4.

The 80s have finally come to a close, and the decade's final moments did not disappoint.  Join me as I discuss the envelope pushing antics of the Conner family on Roseanne, the "they're not lesbians, I promise" relationship between Kate & Allie, and the trauma we all experienced watching Life Goes On.  I'll also crack wise about the comedy stylings of Wes Craven, stars yelling at audiences, and the decision making process that went into creating Small Wonder.  Cheers!

Hey Small Wonder Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered Season Episodes 5-8. S4E5: Come Fly With Me, which aired on October 22, 1988. In this episode the Lawson's accompany Brandon and Harriet on a flight to Florida (business reasons) when their flight is hijacked. Art Linkletter guest stars. I thought this episode was clever and humorous in some scenes. S4E6: Love At First Byte, which aired on October 29, 1988. In this episode Vicki falls for a computer program called L.E.S., that Ted installs in the family computer, unaware that L.E.S.'s growing attraction to Vicki takes a possessive and controlling turn, leading the family to take drastic measures to save Vicki. S4E7: The Sheik, which aired on November 5, 1988. In this episode, Ted and the family entertain a Sheik who intends to do business with the Robotics company that Ted works for, however when the Sheik sets his sights on marrying Vicki (to go along with his 4 other wives) this kid is 13 BTW, Ted has to decide if he can save Vicki from a lifetime of servitude (like she doesn't already have that with the Lawsons) marriage to a 13 year old boy or risk a business venture between his company and the Middle East. S4E8: Togetherness, which aired on November 12, 1988. In this episode the Brindles and the Lawsons compete on Beat Thy Neighbor, a gameshow. This was a fun episode. I hope you enjoy the episodes and I'll be back in late March with episodes S4E9-S4E12.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. It's 2025 and I'm hitting the ground running with the first four episodes of Season 4. Today I covered S4E1: Divided We Stand, which aired on September 17, 1989. In this episode The men and women camp separately, who has the better survival odds? Listen to find out. Bland start to a new Season especially with it being the final Season of the show. The last two season openers gave us Season 2 Chewed Out and Season 3 Woodward and Bernstein, gave us don't miss this episode vibes, this one was major weak sauce, middle of the season filler episode. S4E2: Double Date, which aired on September 24, 1988. In this episode Jamie, Vicki and Harriet have double dates. Typical being into two places at once double date scenario. It was funny and more going on. S4E3: The Gang's All Here, which aired on October 1, 1988. In this episode, Jamie and Vicki join a gang. Speaking of the episode Chewed Out, we get Adam Rich (Eight Is Enough fame) playing a bully of the Screaming Skulls gang instead of Pete, the guy who introduces Jamie and Reggie to chewing tobacco two Seasons ago, the only different is Adam Rich's mullet has gotten longer and stringier. Gross! and the last episode S4E4: Rashomon, which aired on October 15, 1988. In this episode the Lawson's along with Brandon and Harriet are invented by the Robotics Company president to this health spa and the kids and Brandon encounter a bugler. Then we are treated to 3 different versions of what happened and then we see what really happened, thanks to Vicki. I hope you enjoy the four episodes and I'll be back in February with the next four. Have a great rest of January everyone!

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today I the final two episodes of Season 3, S3E23 Safety First, which aired on May 14, 1988. In this episode Brandon claims injury from Vicki's Heimlich maneuver. I had high hopes for this episode especially when Joan told the class they would learn the techniques of performing life saving procedures in class like CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. We didn't see any of these demonstrated by the students instead we get a lame play about accidents in the home acted out by Reggie, Vicki and Harriet even though she doesn't go to their school but got special permission from her school to participate in the play. and S3E24: When You Hear The Beep, which aired on May 21, 1988. In this episode Jamie starts an answering service for his friends. After most of Jamie's classmates gets grounded from using the phone he decides to charge the kids for an answering service that he and Vicki create. I hope you enjoy these two episodes and I'll be diving into Season 4 in January 2025.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E21: The Rock Band, which aired on April 30, 1988. In this episode Jamie forms a rock band; Ida Mae has amnesia. The Rock Band part of the episode was good, Ida Mae and her quick and over in less than 5 minute amnesia spell was crap. I don't hate Ida Mae on a Bonnie Brindle level yet, but we'll see come Season 4, she already getting to Brandon Brindle level of annoyance and we just met her in the last episode. and S3E22: Book-It, which aired on May 7, 1988. In this episode Jamie avoids reading a book for a school assignment. I really enjoyed this episode, mainly because I'm such a bookworm and I never got to do the Book-It Program in school. Have a great weekend everyone and I hope you enjoy the podcast episodes.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The small things are the things that matter. Taking care of yourself is crucial for showing up as your best self, both personally and professionally, and for building a strong personal brand. Prioritising your life is about applying systematic discipline whenever you're faced with a decision that is based on criteria reflecting what's truly important to you. Happiness can be found in small, everyday moments, and by seeking richness through less rather than more.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today I covered, S3E19: I'll Drink To That, which aired on February 20, 1988. In this episode, due to Vicki's mishandling of terms, Child Services Officer Mrs. Fernwald thinks Ted is an alcoholic and threatens to take Vicki away unless he joins AA. I thought this episode was just ok, I wish it had more meat to the episode like an after school special type simular to what we got in Season 2's Chewed Out episode. I just feel so much more could have been done to make this a better episode, raise the stakes a little bit. Mrs. Fernwald, the woman who is too obsessed with this family, she's practically a stalker, going so far to barge into their home on an unannounced visit because she happened to just be in the neighborhood and pawing through the Lawson's trash looking for evidence to comdemn the Lawson's as unfit parents. Is she like this with every family who's case she's assigned? If I were them I'd have the DCFS do an investigation on her, if she even works there. Who really knows? and I also covered S3E20: Big J, the D.J., which aired on February 27, 1988. In this episode Vicki imitates Lyle Alzado to help auditioning Jamie. This was a kinda fun episode, granted we are introduced to a new character Ida Mae, Brandon's sister. She's just annoying, not Brindle level, but I guess they needed someone to replace Bonnie who is apparently away taking care of her mother for a week. Is this how they write her out of the show, and then they just extend her stay away indefinitely? I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episodes and I'll be back with two more soon. Have a great weekend!

How to Shear a Sheepby Barbara KingsolverWalk to the barnbefore dawn.Take off your clothes.Cast everythingon the ground:your nylon jacket,wool socks and all.Throw awaythe cutting tools,the shears that bitelike teeth at the skinwhen hooves flailand your elbowcomes up hardunder a panting throat:no more of that.Sing to them instead.Stand nakedin the morningwith your entreaty.Ask them to come,lay down their woolfor love.That should work.It doesn't.I lectured them into the night, many hours past my bedtime, telling them how to continue the dazzling success of their father. He was there, listening, nodding his head, making sure they would never forget this night.He and I have worked together since 1989, when we were both very young and our sons were very small. Today he is a rich and famous jeweler in a well-known city. I am the man 500 miles away who writes his ads.His hard-working sons listened intently when I said, “People you trust and admire; people who care about you and your success, will come to you, pull you aside, and tell you with deep concern, ‘You need to change your advertising. You're not doing it right.' People who studied advertising in college; friends who feel certain they know what you should do, will say to you, ‘You need to change your advertising. You're not doing it right.'”I told the sons of my friend about the heart-piercing lessons I learned as a young ad writer. I told them about the clever things I did that I knew would would, had to work, were certain to work, that didn't work.I told them about all the clever things that I was taught, and trusted, and believed, that didn't work.I told them about the millions of dollars of other people's money I had wasted year after year on ideas that didn't work.And then I told them what I finally noticed, and watched, and understood 35 years ago. I told them the counterintuitive truth that I finally had the eyes to see.I told them what always works. I told them why it never fails to work. And I told them why no one who sees it working ever believes that it will work.Their father nodded his head up and down. The four of us looked at each other and smiled.And then I went home to bed.Roy H. WilliamsPS – “How to Shear a Sheep” is just one of the many delightful poems in a little-known book by the legendary novelist, Barbara Kingsolver. If you haven't read her novels, you should.Danny Heitman, during the Covid lockdown in 2020, published this book review in The Christian Science Monitor:“Barbara Kingsolver is best known for her novels, including ‘The Bean Trees' and ‘The Poisonwood Bible,' and her essay collections, such as ‘Small Wonder' and ‘High Tide in Tucson.' She's not as well known for her poetry, though she should be. ‘How to Fly (In Ten Thousand Easy Lessons)' collects her best poems from the past few years. It's a tonic for these pandemic times, reminding us of Robert Frost's definition of poetry as a ‘momentary stay against confusion.' Kingsolver's poems are like that, though their clarity is less a matter of sudden revelation than the slowly ripening insight of age. The title poem, with its ironic parenthetical promise that we can learn to soar after ‘ten thousand easy lessons,' sounds a winking dissent from all those how-to
