Nellie "graciously" accepts birthday gifts from the poor people. | NBC
This week on Little Podcast on the Prairie, we explore the contributions of immigrants to the United States, a common disability, and Michael Landon's infamous temper on set. We are introduced to Laura’s friend Olga Nordstrom (future heiress to the Nordstrom Empire… we like to think) who suffers from a condition known as leg length discrepancy. As a special bonus, we get to see the inside of the Oleson’s house during Nellie’s birthday party (the “Town Party”), and it’s as dope as she says.
Just before Laura and Mary hold their own “Country Party” at the Little House, pa “invents” shoe lifts thus changing Olga’s life (and the lives of every other person suffering from that condition) forever. There’s nothing Pa cannot do. Will Olga’s intense and sweaty father finally take a much needed chill pill? Are apple fritters an appropriate main course for dinner? Who will come out on top in the Laura v. Crab sub-plot? (Hint: It isn’t Nellie.) Find out all of this and more on this week’s episode. Special thanks to our RN source Courtney Schuman.

Explanation: Jeff is Amy and Julie's brother who was a VERY sensitive/compassionate child. He became emotional (and in some cases, inconsolable) while watching many Little House episodes... thus, this scale.
Key: 0= We didn't even tear up. Jeff= We blubbered like fools.

Introducing Miss Amy Hearn. First of her name. Manipulator of doctors, farmers, and priests. Wearer of veils. Maker of paper chains. Long-winded. | NBC
We’re back this week with the weirdest episode of Little House on the Prairie yet. (We're on to you, Victor French.) We are introduced elderly neighbor lady Miss Amy Hearn who is notable because 1. she's the token Catholic of Walnut Grove and 2. the most long-winded lady this side of the Mississip'.
After literally talking her roommate and dear friend Miss Maddie to death, Miss Amy concocts a wild plan to fake her own death so she can see her children, whom she hasn’t seen for a while, at her funeral. She somehow manages to manipulate Doc Baker and the Ingalls family into going along with her crazy shenanigans and hilarity/just plain weirdness ensues. We're not sure what happens during the rest of the episode because we fell asleep while Miss Amy was on one of her long winded rants. Join us as Marissa attempts to teach Amy and Julie about Catholicism, Julie unloads a TON of juicy details about the cast on the set of Little House, and then we all discuss how we want our remains disposed of after death. (It's less macabre than it sounds.) Correction: Marissa meant to say construction paper wasn't invented until the 1900's... not the 19th century. Waste Time with These Links:

Laura has ALL the heart eyes for Johnny Johnson | NBC
We're back with a half-pint sized story of love and heartache. This week, Laura sets her heart-eyes on the new boy in school―Johnny Johnson, who resembles a 23-year-old ginger scarecrow or a poor-man's Mark Hamill. Johnny, however, only has eyes for Mary Ingalls and considers Laura to just be a lovable little kid that's really great at fishing, rock throwing, and all the skills one always looks for in a potential mate. Mary, on the other hand, “doesn’t give a hoot for that dumb old Johnny Johnson.”
Will Johnny notice Laura for more than his crush's adorable little sister? Will Laura's plan to make him fall in love with her succeed? Will Amy share way too much insight into her own emotionally fraught love story? Find out all of this and more with Julie, Marissa, and Amy as your guides. WASTE TIME WITH THESE LINKS:

Get out the way for Mr. Edwards because he's back! Pa runs into our favorite Wildcat from Tennessee while on a business trip to Mankato. After defying science by sobering him up in a river, Pa brings him back to the little house, and Mr. Edwards begins putting down roots into the town of Walnut Grove.
Will Mr. Edwards be able to accept his past, start healing, and begin looking forward to a new future? Will Ma be successful in her new role as the town matchmaker? Will we finally learn how to say the Reverend's last name? (Spoiler alert: We don't.) Join Amy, Julie, and Marissa as we learn how NOT to sober someone up, what constitutes a hot date back in pioneer days, and how the song "Old Dan Tucker" is the most versatile song known to mankind. Special thanks to Courtney Schuman, RN for being our medical expert for this week's episode. Waste Time with These Links:
