I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still watch them.

Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns.

Now let me tell you, soap operas aren't just some silly art form.

They are significant.

In this season of Making, Stories Without End from WBEZ Chicago, join me as I share how the

genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure.

Listen, wherever you get your podcast.

Some things never changed, Tricia Bobita.

Oh, boy.

From WBeeZ Chicago, this is Nerdette. I'm Greta Johnson. We did it. We made it to another weekend.

And in fact, this show has made it an entire decade. That's right, Nerdette is officially 10 years old.

And as part of the celebration, we are going to talk to some literal 10-year-olds.

Be prepared.

But first, we are going to start this party the only way we know how with a truly excellent

human, the co-creator of the show, and co-host Emeritus Trisha Bobita.

Risha!
