    I loved this show during its original airing and now on streaming platforms. I always felt I could SEE myself and my childhood in each episode. Come to find out, I was born and raised in the city the shows is based on … Jasper, IN. it is such a wholesome show. A friend of mine would watch it with her twin boys and her husband as a family unit.

  • MY FAVORITE POD

    The evolution of this podcast has been delightful. Brock and Eden have not only given us an inside look at episodes of The Middle, they’ve allowed us to experience their creative process. Their friendship shines through in a way that is genuinely uplifting.

    The content of Patreon is 😘 (chef’s kiss). The Heck Report is both insightful and hilarious.

    Thank you, Eden & Brock, for sharing your joy.

    Cheers! 🥂
