This week Kurt, Jane and Rhonda from PopDNA join forces to discuss critically-acclaimed children's show Recess!

This tv show finally gives us didacticism done correctly, giving us an opportunity to discuss how complex issues can explored for a young audience. But among our very serious conversation, we also get VERY side-tracked talking Saturday Disney, netball and popular 90's children's names.

This season is called Rose-Coloured Glasses, as we look back on the nostalgia-filled shows from our childhood

Get 'oot and 'aboot with your poutine and listen to our conversation about Canadian teen drama, Degrassi: The Next Generation!

Realistic situations told in melodramatic ways take centre-stage when Jane makes Kurt watch this absolutely classic series. This episode includes a detailed history of this long-running franchise, a discussion of relating to characters who are just THE WORST, and so much BJ-talk. We can't help it, we watched the 'Social Disease' episode!

Growing up on a spaceship is never easy, which we discover in this week's episode, when Jane makes Kurt watch SilverSun! That's right, we're continuing our streak of classic mid-00's after school viewing, this time discussing the value of art in a society focused on survival, the difference between slapstick and physical comedy, and illogical plans to save humanity.

If you've every been through a 'horse-crazy' phase then you'll love this week's episode, when Jane makes Kurt watch The Saddle Club.

This episode takes us back to our tween years, looking at the role of friendship and community in a young persons life, and well-constructed (if simplistic) storylines. Plus a strange side-bar into the musical stylings of The Saddle Club - look, they were a very versatile group of young ladies!

Play your cards just right and you might even enjoy this week's episode, all about Yu-Gi-Oh!

Is it any surprise that an episode about a children's show based on a card game based on a Manga leads to a great deal of frustration? If you're a fan of this classic Anime (like Kurt is) then you should be prepared to hear Jane complain about... pretty much everything! From the over-explained characterisations, indistinct motivations, to the basic assumption of children's stupidity that seems to be at the heart of this tv show. The words "This show is a waste of the time of everybody making it" appear in this episode - you've been warned.

This week power is yours, and ours, and most especially Captain Planet's!

Classic edutainment is in full-force in this episode, when we chat about cultural and racial biases of the early 90's, the best structure for didactic storytelling and the future of environmentalism in our, and the next generation.

(NOTE: this episode was recorded prior to the extreme Australian bushfires, apologies that it is not discussed in our climate change discourse)
