Starting over
Posted: Sat May 13, 2017 7:26 pm
This week I've decided to listen to the entire series again. Starting with Family Portraits episode one, I plan on going through each episode in chronological order (where possible...I know a few are very hard to find and hopefully I can find the missing episodes before they come around on my playlist.)
The early 1988 episodes are sure dated, with predictable plot points, but not surprising since it was basically a pilot run for the series that evolved from those early seeds. It is awfully fun to revisit.
The hardest part about this is resisting jumping ahead and listening to favorite episodes first and letting them play all in order.
I am not sure how long this will take...I listen to them during my work commute in my car. I've put the files on a flash drive but mixed in NPR shows and other podcasts in between to give me a variety.
When is the last time you listened to the entire series like this?
Anyway, it got me nostalgic for Hal Smith and I found this on You Tube today.
I don't know if this has been shared here before, but even if it has, it's always worth a second look:
