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 WB EZ Chicago.

Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure.

Listen, wherever you get your podcast.

Hey, we want to let you know our last episode with WBEZ is going to be on May 28th. You have probably heard by now, WB.EZ announced they are

stopping production of several podcasts and laying people off. Unfortunately, NERDET is one of those shows

and I am one of those people. We are ultimately hoping to find Nourdette a new home, but for now,

we are still bringing you another month

of regular Friday episodes, and May Book Club is happening. Okay, let's get to the show.

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

and the last one in April somehow.

This week, we are going to take some time to reflect on the almost 11 years that Nerdette has been around.

And I want to bring you a couple of my all-time favorite interviews.

Later in the show, we're going to hear from the epically delightful Roske.

But first, we are going to dive into the archives

and listen to a classic. Did you know that Stephen King? Yes, that Stephen King loves

corgis. As also a corgi lover, I was thrilled to get to talk to him almost exactly eight

years ago. And the conversation was just as weird and

wonderful as you would expect.

Thank you for taking the time while you're in Florida. I appreciate it.
