About this episode
The episode features a discussion about the origins of the cast and the show, with special guests reflecting on their lives before The Brady Bunch.
Ed has a special message for the fans and listeners: "We're wrapping up and storing our voices in the closet... for the time being. We've gone one year past where we thought we ended, but thanks to you all, we kept on keeping on, and today, one year after this episode originally dropped, Barry and Chris are joined by Mike Lookinland and Susan Olsen to discuss the origins of the cast and the show, and where everyone was in their lives before The Brady Bunch. Barry, Chris, and of course, I thank you for being there, but please keep your subscription active! We may have a few surprises left. We all love you and thank you for the past five years of sunshine. Brady on!"
