Fraggle Talk is back! In Fraggle Talk: Classic, we dive deep into the original Fraggle Rock series, one episode at a time. Whether you’re a Fraggle nerd like Beth, rewatching after a while like Julia, or watching for the first time like Adam, join us for (mostly) spoiler-free episode analysis, behind-the-scenes tidbits, wild speculation, lots of laughs, and thoughts on how to make our world a little Fragglier.
