What happens when two people who grew up in a very strange corner of Los Angeles look back and realize just how bizarre their upbringings really were?

They start a podcast, of course.

I'm Ashley Johnson.

And I'm Talas and Jaffe.

Before we became the internet people we are today, we spent our childhoods as working actors, appearing in shows like growing pains and films like Mr. Mom.

In our podcast, Weird Kids, we're diving deep into our unique upbringings, our friendship

with each other, and all the delightfully odd interests we still carry with us today.

In each episode, we get to share stories of our youth, the things that bring us joy, the

problems that we face,

and occasionally the friends we've collected along the way.

If you're a misfit, an outcast, or just a weirdo who loves all things nostalgic and

unconventional, come take a seat at our table.

Each week, we'll be releasing previously members-only episodes on YouTube and all major podcast

platforms, with new episodes dropping exclusively

and ad-free on beacon.tv. Hello, Halflings. Jasper here with a quick shout out to Lexi,

who became a patron this week. Thank you so much for your support. It means so much. It's the

only way we fund the show, and it keeps

us being able to create this content, so we really, really appreciate it. The second thing I have

to say, before we dive into this special episode of Three Back Halflings, is that we, wait for it,

have been nominated for a podcast award. We put this out on the social medias a few weeks back,

and you guys came through for us. We have been nominated by the Discovery Pod Awards for Best

Podcast created or hosted by a POC.
