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. Just wanted to give a little pre-episode disclaimer.

The following episode was recorded before the Wizards of the Coast Pinkerton scandal as well as subsequent

TTRPG debacles.

I'm recording this on the day of release, so there may have been even more by the time I even

press post.

We plan to discuss the larger issues surrounding a lot of these controversies in a future

episode as our feelings are still evolving,

but we did want to give you some context as to why we don't mention any of those things.
