| 0:00.0 | I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still |
| 0:06.1 | watch them. Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns. Now let me tell you, |
| 0:12.7 | soap operas aren't just some silly art form. They are significant. In this season of making, |
| 0:18.0 | Stories Without End from WB EZ Chicago. |
| 0:25.7 | Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure. |
| 0:28.3 | Listen wherever you get your podcast. |
| 0:56.7 | From WB.EZ Chicago, this is Nerdad. I'm Greta Johnson. We did it. We made it to another weekend. And we are in May, no less, which means this Taurus is very happy to welcome you to Taurus season. To celebrate, today's episode is going to be extremely indulgent. It is all about music. Our friend, Kristen Curtis the assistant music director and morning show host at WXPN in Philadelphia. And we asked her to bring us a handful of fun and |

| 1:51.0 | well. One of my coworkers loaded the song into our library, and I was like, yo, the attitude |
| 1:56.4 | in the song is so much fun. It's a great, right? It's a great answer to anybody who doesn't want to go |
