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.

From WBEZ Chicago, this is Nerdette.

I'm Greta Johnson.

And I'm Tricia Bobita. And this week, it is all about

Gilmore Girls. La La La La La La La La La La La. Did you miss the laws, Tricia?

They're stuck in my head now. Me too. They're just kind of happen in my head all the time. Is that okay?

Yes, yes. So you probably know, or maybe you live under a rock and you don't, but the Gilmore

Girls revival came out over the weekend, and we have a lot of feelings about what happened.

We're going to talk about what we thought of the revival, because Greta and I have watched

the whole series, seven seasons that existed previously of Gilmore Girls multiple times.

Multiple, yeah.

But first, we wanted to talk with some pop culture connoisseurs about the phenomenon that is Gilmore Girls who have never seen an episode.

Just a smidge a minute or two, once or twice, they said, flipping channels, but they've

never seen it. We were like, what dudes do we know who maybe haven't seen Gilmore Girls? And we found

them. Because we think they're pretty classy gents. They are classy gents. We are talking about

the hosts of Dinner Party Download, Brendan and Rico. So we're going to talk to them. And then after

that, actually, we have a very lovely interview with Liz Torres, also known as Miss Patty, who is Starr's Hollow's raunchy dance teacher.
