Talking Fast: A Gilmore Girls Podcast

We have compiled all of our ads from Season 1. If you've missed it, each episode we write a phony ad that relates to the episode in some way. We have a lot of fun with it! You can also really hear how our sound quality progressed throughout the first season (eep). 

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 6, "Presenting Lorelai Gilmore."

Jess is finally here! In this episode, Alexis and Suzanne cover Season 2 Episode 5, "Nick & Nora, Sid & Nancy."

This week, Alexis and Suzanne cover S1 Ep17, "Breakup: Part II." They are both tickled by the town's rallying behind Rory in the wake of her breakup with Dean, although also a little skeptical of the gossip chain in Stars Hollow. Where does it begin and where does it end? Suzanne reiterates her dislike of Tristan and lectures that nobody should give somebody a pass for the horrible things they've...

This week Alexis and Suzanne cover S1 Ep13, "Concert Interruptus." They follow along as Lorelai and Rory sort through things for the rummage sale as well as through Luke's past.

In this episode, Alexis and Suzanne cover S1 Ep 12, "Double Date." They discuss how the episode portrays gender roles and, in a small way, gives an opportunity to critique them.
