Hello Halfpints, Due to a lot of last-minute holiday travel plans and other unforeseen circumstances, we will not be dropping an episode for the next two weeks. We will be back with a FANTASTIC episode all about corn (woo-wee!) on December 5th. Our deepest apologies for interrupting our regularly scheduled podcast format. We thank you for your understanding. In the meantime, Julie found out that Michael Landon, Jr... get this... writes historical Christian romance novels! (Click on the images for links to buy on Amazon.) Have a safe and happy holiday.
All our best, Amy, Julie, and Marissa

Trigger Warning: This episode involves alcoholism and child abuse.
This week we explore another dark episode that portrays some troubling social issues: alcoholism and child abuse. When John Stewart (not that Jon Stewart of Daily Show fame) beats his son into unconsciousness in a drunken rage, the town of Walnut Grove (and especially the Ingalls family) cannot choose to ignore what is happening any longer. Thanks to Miss Beadle, Ma, Pa, and Doc Baker, appropriate measures are taken in order to provide healing to both the father and son. Waste Time with These LinksCryability for this EpisodeMore Photos
This week, a tenderhearted yet garishly dressed conman comes to Walnut Grove and nearly kills Mrs. Oleson with some placebo drugs, and Jack (the dog) narrowly escapes death once again. In addition, we discuss nightgowns for men, Edgar Allen Poe, shower plants, and Amy educates everyone on her new favorite term “enscorcellment”.
We do have a few echo-y sound snafus in this episode. We promise that this will be fixed by next week and greatly appreciate your patience with us as well as your listens. Waste Time with These Links...
