This season, we're mixing things up and giving the fans exactly what they've been asking for. We'll be diving into some of your favorite episodes, revisiting the iconic stories, sharing behind-the-scenes moments, reflecting on fan reactions and observations, and bringing in some very special guests to join the conversation. Get the inside scoop—straight from Alison and Dean—on what was really going on behind the scenes and during filming!

Today, we're diving into “Back To School Pt. 1 & 2,” and you know what that means—CINNAMON CHICKEN! ZALDAMO! "I’M A WOMAN AND I HATE ALL OF YOU!" "WHO’S GOING TO DO THE COOKING?" the MUD FIGHT, and so many other unforgettable moments packed into this double dose of Prairie greatness.

Ever wondered if Melissa Gilbert hated wearing those braids at 15? Or if there was actual Cayenne pepper on that chicken? Now's your chance to find out!

Plus, we’re thrilled to welcome actor, writer, producer, and extended Little House family member Steven Wishnoff, who will be announcing the winners of the “WHO’S GOING TO DO THE COOKING CONTEST!"  

And then join us on Patreon where Steven, Alison, Dean and Pamela go over many of the contest contributors, and decide our favorites! 

***We send our love and support to L.A. and all of those affected by the Wild Fires. Especially our friend, Matthew Labyorteaux, (Albert Ingalls) and his family who have been devastated by the fires.
