  • "BULLY BOYS" recap!
    Sep 25 2025
    Saddle up and hold onto your suspenders, folks — this week we're diving headfirst into Season 3, Episode 9: The Bully Boys (Or, “When Walnut Grove Got Its First Redneck Crime Family”). This is the unforgettable episode where Walnut Grove gets a visit from the backwoods version of the Sopranos.It’s a classic Little House setup: a peaceful town, hardworking families, and then BOOM — 3 traveling disasters in overalls roll in and run on petty theft, sexual harassment, and a general hatred for women.Reverend Alden, in peak form, preaches forgiveness, kindness, and second (and third and fourth) chances — all while being comically gullible enough to ask the literal worst humans on earth to please be nice. (We love him, but someone get this man a lie detector and a background check!)Meanwhile, Nellie Oleson becomes a full-blown mob wife, Mary sports a black eye and the only backbone in town, and Ma drops the eggs! (It’s horrific!)The moral dilemma of turning the other cheek vs. punching a Galender in the jaw is at an all time high But fear not — the real MVPs are the townspeople, who finally remember they can also have a mob mentality when they want to. The episode’s real message? Sometimes, good Christian values mean letting the community unite to remove evil... with fists.It’s all here — heart, humor, violence, and hillbillies. Welcome to the frontier, where even the church isn’t safe from crime, but the community always comes out on top.Then- join us on Patreon where Alison talks to Dean and Pamela about the villains of Walnut Grove…and that Bubba was actually pretty cool in real life.Links and Resources:Haven’t signed up for Patreon yet?

  • "CROSSED CONNECTIONS" recap!
    Sep 18 2025
    Grab your bonnets and brace yourselves—because Walnut Grove is officially wired for chaos! In this episode, the town installs a shiny new telephone system... and within minutes, the gossip starts flying faster than Caroline’s flapjacks. With Mrs. Oleson lurking like the prairie’s nosiest switchboard operator. Privacy? Never heard of her.Meanwhile, Jonathan and Alice Garvey’s marriage is hanging by a thread—and it’s not a sturdy one. A few misheard messages, a splash of suspicion, and BOOM: Jonathan finds out that Alice has a secret first husband--Harold! (Yep, she’s got more baggage than Doc Baker’s medical bag.)Meanwhile, Alison and Pamela unpack the deeply unsettling thoughts about Harold—revealing a shocking backstory that involves grooming, manipulation, and trauma that Little House only hints at. You’ll never look at this episodethe same way again. (eek!)Join us as we untangle the wild wires of “Crossed Connections,” where gossip spreads faster than wildfire, trust is on life support, and the only thing more scandalous than the phone lines is Alice Garvey’s marital history. Prairie drama? It’s ringing off the hook!Then, join us on Patreon, where Alison, Dean, and Pamela spill more of the tea!Links and Resources:Haven’t signed up for Patreon yet?Link is below!PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/LittleHousePodcastJoin us in NYC!

  • "THE HANDYMAN" recap!
    Sep 11 2025
    Welcome to a Very Special Episode: Ma’s Hair Is Down & Everything Goes to Hell (almost!).This week on Little House 50 Podcast, we dive headfirst into an episode that has it all: emotional turmoil, slow-burn temptation, passive-aggressive teenage angst, and… Ma’s hair down. Yes, DOWN. That’s when you know things are about to get spicy on the prairie.Charles hops on a wagon and leaves for a job, so Caroline hires a handsome, mysteriously single handyman named Chris to finish the kitchen extension. He’s good with tools. Very good. Suspiciously good. Soon, he’s hammering more than nails—he’s hammering his way into Ma’s heart.Mary, ever the emotionally intelligent eldest child, smells drama from a mile away and starts throwing shade with the precision of a seasoned Real Housewife of Sleepy Eye. Honestly? She’s kind of a bitch in this episode—but like, a justified bitch. We support her.Meanwhile, Laura is blissfully unaware that her family is one flirty barn-raising away from a full-blown scandal.And then there’s Ma. Sweet, proper, dutiful Ma—until suddenly, she’s got her hair down and a suspiciously candlelit glow in the kitchen. You don’t let your hair down in Walnut Grove unless you’re catching feelings or catching trouble.And honestly, if anyone earned the right to slap Nellie into next Tuesday, it’s Mary in this episode.Will Laura keep calling him “Uncle Chris,” even though he is giving major stranger danger with a toolbox energy?! Girl.Will Ma go there?? (She won’t... but we all kinda wanted her to for a second.)Grab your bonnet and your prairie popcorn—this episode is pure frontier soap opera.Let’s get into it.Then, join us on Patreon where Alison and Pamela chat about the recent Little House event in Indiana, and a preview of episodes to come!Links and Resources:Haven’t signed up for Patreon yet?

  • “MEET ME AT THE FAIR” Recap!
    Sep 4 2025
    We recorded this episode back in late July—when Pamela was still in New Hampshire and Alison was halfway across the world. A lot has changed since then, but one thing hasn’t: this episode is still an absolute gem.

    We’re diving into “Meet Me at the Fair”—a wild ride through carnival chaos featuring questionable parenting, a gang of literal jackasses, unsettling Renaissance Fair/Hannibal Lecter cosplay vibes, and of course, the real star of the show: a hot air balloon. All we ask is one thing: Make. It. Make. Sense. Join us for a hilarious conversation as we do our best not to laugh our way through the absurdity of “Meet Me at the Fair.” (And yes—you’ll actually find yourself rooting for Carrie in this one.)

    Then, join us on Patreon, where Alison and Dean share behind-the-scenes stories with Pamela about filming and other goings-on in Old Tucson. And remember: what happens in Old Tucson stays in Old Tucson.

  • "THE TALKING MACHINE"- recap!
    Aug 28 2025
    Today we’re diving into one of Nellie Oleson’s greatest hits (of villainy): The Talking Machine! Where nothing says "I love you" more than...SCIENCE.

    Laura gets bamboozled by 1800s high-tech: a talking machine (a phonograph!) that repeats what you say—perfect for confessing your secret crushes, unless that machine falls into the wrong hands. Which it does. (Cue Nellie). Chaos, blushing, and frontier-level pre-teen drama ensue, proving once again that nothing spreads faster than gossip in a town with 12 people and no Wi-Fi.

    Laura and Nellie find themselves pining for the same older, blonde man, Miss Beadle sees no issue with sending kids into a lightning storm, and Laura kills yet another tree—all in the name of love.

    Then join us on Patreon, where special guests Pamela Roylance and Stan Ivar—the Carters!—sit down with us to share stories about their time on Little House on the Prairie. They dive into road trips with Kent and Susan McCray, working alongside Michael Landon, and the friendship and bond they’ve maintained for over 42 years.

  • ALDEN'S DILEMMA with Stan Ivar and Pamela Roylance
    Aug 21 2025
    Today, we’re joined by two very special guests—the Carters themselves! Pamela Roylance and Stan Ivar are here to discuss the episode “Alden’s Dilemma” and share some of their favorite memories from Little House on the Prairie.But that’s not all!Pamela and Stan are also starring in A.R. Gurney’s beloved play Love Letters, directed by none other than Little House casting director Susan McCray. You can catch them live at the Whitefire Theatre, starting tonight—August 21st through August 31st!In “Alden’s Dilemma,” Mr. Edwards smells trouble—and it’s not just his long johns. A suspiciously charming young minister arrives in Walnut Grove, and suddenly, he’s getting more house calls from Laura and Mrs. Carter than Doc Baker during flu season. Naturally, Edwards assumes the worst: romance, scandal, and maybe even poetry. Meanwhile, poor Reverend Alden starts to wonder if he’s about to be replaced by a younger model with better hair and shinier sermons.Meanwhile, in a completely unrelated subplot that feels like it wandered in from another show, Almanzo and John Carter take a bro-trip to San Francisco, where they stay in a Japanese-style hotel, get mugged by a sweet-looking grandma, tossed in jail, and generally fumble their way through the city like two prairie dads lost in a big-city sitcom. Then join us on Patreon, where Alison tells us about the incredible guest stars who appeared in this episode, and the surprisingly tragic ending for one of the characters that will leave you shocked!Links and Resources:Haven’t signed up for Patreon yet?

  • “CENTENNIAL” Recap!
    Aug 14 2025
    We’re back from our hiatus and ready to celebrate summer—and nothing says summer in the United States quite like the 4th of July. This year, we’re revisiting "Centennial", a poignant and eerily prescient episode we believe everyone should watch. It's a powerful reminder for those who may have lost sight of the promise of America—both in these turbulent times and in difficult eras past.

    Far from your typical holiday celebration, "Centennial", starring the incomparable Theodore Bikel, sneaks up on you like a shadow at sunset—quiet, slow, and suddenly all around you. Its message feels more vital than ever, delving into themes of patriotism vs. dissent, economic hardship and civic disillusionment, the immigrant experience, and the enduring ideals of democracy. In the darkest moments, it’s easy to lose hope—but this episode offers light and perspective to anyone feeling disheartened by today’s world. Join us for a moving and timely conversation.

    Then, join us on Patreon, where Alison, Dean and Pamela let you in on future plans for the podcast that we are so excited about!
