M*A*S*H Forever

By now, most of us have heard the heartbreaking news that Loretta Swit passed away on Friday, May 30, 2025, at the age of 87. I’ve been a huge fan of hers since I was 9 years old, and I wanted to share a small tribute in her honor. She was one of my absolute favorites on M*A*S*H, and she always will be.

Here’s to you, Loretta. Thank you for everything you gave us. You’ll never be forgotten.

Ways to honor Loretta Swit:

And hike to the outdoor set location at Malibu Creek State Park (5 miles total)

In this episode, Carrie opens up about her time away from the podcast and shares a personal tribute to her late father, who passed away last September. She reflects on the special gift he gave her at age nine—introducing her to MASH—and the lasting impact it’s had on her life.

Special note: My almost 9-month-old puppy, Rascal, can be heard in the background of the podcast playing with her bird toy.
