First ice mummy on Little House is enough to chill you to the bone. | NBC
Welcome back for a Halloween episode about one of the scariest things in the world… infectious diseases. Walnut Grove is rocked to its core by a plague that thankfully only kills people we aren’t invested in. Pa and Mr. Edwards bromance reaches a new level, we learn how to properly dispose of corpses ravaged by typhus (and other infectious diseases), and we get our first ice bath out of 25,000 in this series. It will give you chills.

In addition to this dark, skin-crawling tale, we discuss the worst sicknesses we’ve ever experienced, our favorite Halloween candies, and what we are going to dress up as this year.

Special Thanks to our nurse researchers Courtney Schuman and Nicole Ellsworth for answering our many questions.

Hold your horses! Doc Baker's got himself a lady-friend! | NBC
This week, Amy and Julie introduce Marissa to the world of Christian romance novels, we all talk about Downton Abbey way too much, and (most importantly) a stylish young woman catches the eye of Doc Baker. She’s got amazing outfits, recognizes a woke bae when she sees one, and is a genuinely lovely person. We are just as taken with Kate Thorvald as the doc.
 
The only problem is, Doc Baker is at least 20 years her senior and has extensive sun damage. Will Hiram Baker’s bachelor lifestyle come to an end? Will Mr. Hansen get over his jealousy now that his best buddy suddenly has less time for him? Will Harriet Oleson (Kate’s aunt) allow the two lovebirds to get married? Find out all of this and much more on this week’s episode.

"Oh no he didn't..." | NBC
Have you ever wished for a podcast about Harriet Olseon AND Harry Potter? Look no further!

This week there is trouble in paradise for Nels and Harriet. When their marriage and the town’s economy seem to be on the brink of destruction, Charles Ingalls is the only one capable of saving the day!

Julie shares a shocking story from her waitressing days, we assign determine what animals represent various characters in Little House, and then we all gush over the details of the Oleson’s home and lifestyle. This episode is full of physical comedy, the townies we all love, the famous Michael Landon laugh, and pure perfection of Katherine McGregor’s (Harriet) craft. It has quickly risen to the top as our favorite episode so far.

S1E13P2 The Lord is My Shepherd: Every TIme A Bell Rings...

Laura prays so hard. | NBC
Welcome back for Part 2! This week Laura somehow manages to travel to the Black Hills of South Dakota in 24 hours on foot where she presents a pretty flawless trade deal with God. While waiting on the Lord to answer her, she makes friends with an elderly mountain man and a dove. Cool.

​Meanwhile, Pa and Mr. Edwards frantically search for her and come across some very fortunate clues along the way.
​
In this episode we also go off into tangents on Hollywood’s fascination with angels, pigeons with Munchausen syndrome, Shakira, and Jemaine Clement. If you don’t think those things could possibly be connected, then you obviously haven’t spent much time with us before.

Laura really needed an adult to share her feelings with... Reverend Alden was probably the wrong choice. | NBC
This week we venture into one of the darkest episodes of Little House where the Ingalls family endures a tragic loss. Laura feels that she is the catalyst of her family’s suffering and is determined to take drastic measures to "make things right".

To lighten the subject matter, Amy, Julie, and Marissa delve deep into several tangents involving labor, breastfeeding, Pixar’s Inside Out, and literally anything else to avoid talking about this episode. Join us next week as we pick up where we left off for Part 2.

Trigger Warning:  This episode involves the death of an infant. Please use your best judgement before listening to (or watching) this episode.

Special Thanks to our nurse researcher Courtney Schuman for answering our many questions.
