In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Slip into that satin jacket and slide into those Topsiders, because today, after a SUPERSIZED opening about audio books (naturally), the PCPS is taking a very comprehensive look back on the stone-cold, far-out fashions of the 70s and 80s! Velour, terry cloth, satin, and ruffles, the girls will share their favorite hits, misses, and style icons. Who loved Laurie Partridge’s look? Who wanted to be Mallory Keaton? And who — at age 7 — idolized Emily Hartley (Suzanne Pleshette)?!? Long time listeners won’t be surprised.

We're back with an encore presentation of our tribute to Sesame Street with the added bonus of a surprisingly serious conversation inspired by a New York Times article about the demise of creative jobs for Gen Xers. If you went into a creative field as a young adult in the 90s, you have likely seen a tsunami of change in your industry, sometimes to the point of extinction. Once again, Gen Xers have to adapt and change and persevere with little to no help. Hashtag late stage latchkeyism. And perhaps your creative dreams were fueled by Sesame Street in early childhood? If so, here's what you'll find in today's episode... How do you get to Sesame Street? With us! Join us as we celebrate and honor the sunny days of Sesame Street — OUR Sesame Street — the OG!! We’re remembering those first years and all the things that have been living RENT FREE in our heads for decades: All the humans we loved (including TWO Gordons!) … the muppets … the kids … and the songs. And NEXT WEEK we’ll be ranking the top 10 sketches as determined by our listeners. It’s a two-week Sesame Street-palozza love-fest that will sweep all your clouds away!

Come with me, take my hand, and we'll ruuuuuuunnnnnn..... to Amherst, Massachusets for a gathering of PCPS listeners at the first-ever Free to Be You and Me museum exhibit and singalong at the Eric Carle Museum of Picturebook Art. It was .... how shall we say... EPIC? People have feelings about what could be the most important album for anyone born between the years 1965 and 1980. There was crying. Lots of it. PCPS listeners met each other and formed friendships, we held hands and sang our hearts out, and -- in a surprise plot twist -- we even sang those words side by side with the woman who created it all -- the legendary Marlo Thomas. In other words ... there are no words. Just listen.

The movie adaptation of Judy Blume's Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret came out two years ago this month and it's just starting to hit streaming services -- so we're bringing you an encore presentation of our episode reviewing/gushing over the movie. In addition to that, our new opening conversation includes an invitation to come see us IN PERSON for a book club discussion about Margaret at Anderson's Bookshop in Downers Grove , IL. Margaret is like Gen X core curriculum and if this goes well, we might just take The Margaret Book Club on the road to celebrate our generation's favorite book. Stay tuned! Here's more about what you'll hear in this episode: The reviews are in and the Margaret movie is a smash hit! Especially if you call yourself a Gen Xer. After a special pre screening of the long-awaited film adaptation of Judy Blume's coming-of-age classic, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, the PCPS lets you in on their post-movie discussion and (thank God!) it did not disappoint (one more time: thank God!). We've been waiting for this moment since the Carter administration so our expectations were obnoxiously high. There was only one complaint but it didn't come from us; who was it from? And what does it have to do with babka? And in celebration of Margaret's debut on the big screen, our followers share some of their best, worst, weirdest and most humiliating #margaretmoments, those times in our lives when we felt just like Margaret. If you're sick of whispering the word "period," this episode is for you.

Travel with us to Gilley’s in Houston, Texas for a great debate about Urban Cowboy . Is it the Texan Saturday Night Fever ? Do we even like Bud? What about Sissy? Why is the mechanical bull the lead player? And despite our differing opinions, how great is that soundtrack?!? (On that we all agree!) And bonus! We’re welcoming one of our favorite voices to the conversation: Amy Lively, high school history teacher, Urban Cowboy fan and host of the podcast we often use as research, “For The Record: The 70s,” who helps us make sense of this easily divisive movie and gives us insight into the music that makes it — or saves it — depending on your opinion!

The 1970s and 1980s provided us with copious amounts of well-intentioned wisdom about the most sensitive and traumatic social issues of the day — drug and alcohol addiction, eating disorders, rape, pedophilia, suicide, child abuse and more — and packaged them into very memorable “Very Special Episodes.” These heavy-handed moral lessons were often hard to watch … yet were incredibly valuable and effective. Today we’re describing some of the more shocking of these episodes from shows including All In The Family, Maude, WKRP in Cincinnati, Laverne and Shirley , and the king of the VSE, Diffrn’t Strokes . If this isn’t comfortable for you, we understand, and you officially have a signed note from your host doctors to skip this one. Big hugs to you.

James at 15: The 1970s Dawson's Creek 1:06:12

James at 15 was an oh-so-70s groundbreaking coming-of-age dramedy before dramedy was a thing and served quite literally as the inspiration for 1998's Dawson's Creek. James at 15 was full of bell-bottoms, shearling jackets, groovy slang, boys who play flute, righteous dudes, fierce feminists and 'first times' -- and it attracted teen viewers like moths to a flame. And yet somehow it only lasted one season. The show's extreme relatability paired with its very earnest take on controversial teen topics contributed to both its soaring popularity and its demise. Kids loved the honesty; TV execs hated that teens thought about sex more than homework. Join us for a deep dive on this one-season gem that has lived on in the hearts of anyone on or around Puberty Street in 1977.

Who thought “Too Much Time on My Hands” was the key to her popularity? Who was a hopeless romantic lip-synching “Endless Love” to a mystery “man” when she was only 12?

In this first installment, we take a deep dive into the 24th annual Grammy Awards; every Grammys broadcast is like a fully contained time capsule of the year in music -- who presented, who performed, who was nominated, and who was NOT nominated (hello? where my Go Go's at? And Olivia Newton-John for Pete's sake? Were we not all getting Physical in 1981?). Pair that info with Rick James' broken keyboard, John Denver's chunky plastic aviator glasses and an emotional Grammy acceptance speech by Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon for the late John Lennon's comeback album and you have the perfect backstory for next week's follow up episode featuring our individual picks for the songs that impacted us on a personal level.

Much of our research involved Googling "worst Christmas special ever;" and guess what? Dance Fever had some stiff competition!

These Happy Days Are (still) Yours and Mine 1:29:45

21 weeks тому1:29:45

Fifty years ago GenX experienced its first taste of "appointment tv" when Tuesday nights meant "Happy Days." Join as we revisit "These Happy Days Are Yours and Mine." In this all-new introduction, we chat about what we've lost in the era of streaming television and the sense of unity and belonging created by watching the same shows at the same time. Happy Days was one of the most iconic and beloved shows of our generation, and one that grew up right alongside us. Join us as we share why this show was so important to the three of us, dive into the characters who felt like friends and family, share fun facts about the show and its stars, talk favorite episodes and spinoffs, and debate Joanie’s hairstyle. Which star’s family member has literally saved millions of lives? Which episode ended Carolyn’s childhood? And which host almost made her husband recite Chachi’s wedding vows?

Signed, Sealed, REdelivered: The GenX Art of the Handwritten Letter 1:38:22

22 weeks тому1:38:22

1:38:22

Join us for this encore presentation of our ode to the handwritten letter and you'll get an all new intro conversation about an important anniversary: Hello Kitty just turned 50 years old. 😮 Not even kidding! And that little Gen X icon has a surprising connection to the letters of our youth. We might also digress into a rant about the state of modern day Christmas cards. Heads up: we have OPINIONS. Maybe that's proof of how vital letterwriting was to our Gen X experience; before email and texting there was only one way to keep in touch with our important people that didn't involve long-distance charges (which your dad said was "highway robbery!") -- we put pen to paper and poured our hearts out in ways we would never do via text. Grandparents, pen pals, camp friends, and boyfriends/girlfriends, our relationships to all of them were nurtured and deepened by the handwritten word. Join us for our stories, your stories, and lots of hilarious readings of pubescent yearning and shenanigans.

Heartbreak & Hostages: A Rerun of the GenX TV Movie 1:23:41

23 weeks тому1:23:41

1:23:41

We’re celebrating our 200th EPISODE by revisiting all the traumas from the TV movies of our GenX youth (naturally). But before we get to our meaty conversation devoted to this very special art form that was low on budget but high on love triangles, deadly diseases, dying parents, killer bees, and so, so many hostages, we’re bringing you an all NEW opening conversation where we contemplate (yet again) how one of the most comforting shows of our youth — Little House on The Prairie — was also one of the most traumatic. What were Melissa Gilbert’s most troubling episodes? Oh, don’t worry, we asked her! (You’ll be nodding your head in agreement — count on it.) And then we’re acknowledging our 200th episode milestone … with a lot of disbelief and, of course, gratitude.

It’s true! We recently visited THE famous Brady Bunch house on Dilling Street in North Hollywood, CA … and we’re still pinching ourselves! Hear our story of how our visit came to be, the journey this house has taken since 1969 (and yes, of course we give props to the incredible HGTV renovation!) and our enthusiastic reactions to being in THE SAME SPACES AS THE BRADYS (well, sort of). Also hear from our good friend (and Brady Bunch expert) Suzie, who has been tirelessly and passionately adding hundreds of details to the house to make it even more authentic and groovy, AND from the house’s owner (and our new friend) Tina, who bought the house out of her love for the show … and who, with Suzie, is preserving this Gen X Capitol out of respect for all of US. And stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear how YOU (and a guest!) can win an all-expenses paid trip to tour the house AND have pork chops and applesauce with some of your favorite Bradys! It’s the grooviest of groovy episodes! Enter the Brady Experience sweepstakes here .

Today we’re saying goodbye to one of the most memorable events of the Gen X era: the finale of M*A*S*H, which marked the end of one of television history’s most popular and innovative shows. We’re breaking down the poignant finale storylines and saying farewell, one tearful goodbye at a time. Which one of us completely missed the finale on Feb. 28, 1983 and then had such FOMO she pretended she had seen it? Who loved cross-dressing Klinger best? And whose sweet memories of watching her dad cry during this finale brings her to stirring tears? Grab a box of tissues, folks, you’re gonna need all of them.

The Make Out Mixtape 53:34

29 weeks тому53:34

53:34

Join us today for a continuation of our discussion about the most beloved ancient relic that ultimately belonged to just one generation (hint: it was us): and that is the mixtape, a DIY medium exchanged between friends and lovers that was, on its surface, a way to share music but was actually a thinly veiled communication device intended to express our feelings to another person. There is one very particular kind of mixtape that we couldn’t fit into last week’s discussion – and to shortchange it would’ve been to erase an entire generation’s yearning for something very specific…Today we are talking about the Make Out Mixtape. Because of the age we were when we were making mixtapes – whether you were in middle school, high school, or college – a lot of our mixtapes were intended to woo. Or inspire special feelings that encouraged us to get closer to another person. Possibly with our bodies. Because we were in the midst of our sexual awakening. Even if you never got any action in high school, these tapes were aspirational. Maybe they were helping you fantasize about the things you would like to do if you were ever given the chance. Or maybe your tape was just step one in helping someone think about you in that way. Today's episode will take you behind the curtain of both Carolyn's and Kristin's adolescent makeout sessions and the soundtracks that accompanied them. Get ready for the swoonworthy sounds of makeout masters like DeBarge, Phil Collins, Chicago, Anita Baker, Lionel Richie, and Feivel the mouse (not even kidding). Time travel with us and let's see if we can get that estrogen flowing again!
