I learned about your podcast from my sister-in-law in late July. I started at the beginning and I am up to episode 104. I have learned a lot of things that I didn’t know. You are right that those experiences hit different now. My feelings about some of the movies, books, and music is different now that I am looking at them from an adult perspective. Things that I thought were okay then are definitely not okay now. I enjoy very much listening to the three of you. You are able to disagree with each other without getting mad. You have an easy camaraderie with each other and the respect you have for one another is obvious. Listening to you helps quiet my mind. I quite often smile while listening to you. Thank you for the time you put in on all of your research. Thank you for brightening my days. I was born, raised, and still live just down the road from you in Lake Okoboji, Iowa. I am 59 years young and have had a lot of the same experiences at the same ages as you. Your podcast has given me a feeling of belonging to a group of people that I have never met but have a connection with through shared experiences. Thank you for that. I hope that you are able to continue with your podcast for a long time. May the Force be with you!

I’ve listened to a few Purple Rain movie review podcasts and your review of the movie is my favorite. Thank you. ❤️

My sister Patty went to Trinity University with Carolyn and introduced me to this podcast- we are both from Gen-X and so much of what is discussed on PCPS mirrors our experiences! Carolyn, Kristen and Michelle are a joy to listen to and their memories of childhood and adolescence are so accurate and specific. They remember so much and describe it so vividly! Best part of my day is listening to this podcast! Have shared with my fellow Gen X-ers ❤️

If this podcast were a book, that’s what I would say about it. “Too good to put down.” and as such, I have been mainlining through the first season and into the second season. I am having so much fun. It’s like I grew up with these three women directly. The shows. The music. The books. It all comes rushing right back to me, including my very first celebrity crush (except for Speed Racer!) was Shaun Cassidy, just like these ladies. Oh my goodness. I got into this podcast by starting at the end. Someone recommended it because of Shaun Cassidy and so I heard a replay of an older episode where they got to talk to Sean Cassidy. At that point I was in and I started at the beginning. It feels so nice to be understood by other people who were there during this era of the 20th century. Absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you so much, ladies, for taking me back in time.
