This isn’t a recap show. It’s a cultural exploration, a dissection of learned behaviors and toxic patterns, and an examination of the intersection of historical events and entertainment. Because even though she may think she’s been erased from history, the fact is that her art and her public persona have influenced societal, familial, and political movements.

  • Growth requires discomfort.

    This podcast made me realize how much a sitcom can do to normalize problematic trends and behaviors. Yes you laughed but were you also giving yourself permission to behave badly? By not being as bad as the Connors, were you normalized your family dynamics even if it was unhealthy? Just listen. The hosts make it clear they too loved some of the work these entertainers did but you can love something and be critical of it too. Thank you.

  • Thorough cultural examination

    This show takes a wide view, and also a deep dive, into the cultural expectation at the time of the Roseanne show. It layers in personality, entertainment industry dynamics, and points out how the show reflected the society at the time. Then, contrasts it with how things have changed. A worthy listen!!
