This week we’re joined by one of Kat’s oldest friends, who regrettably is brand new to Beverly Hills, 90210. But, with a Master’s degree in psychology and a lifetime of experience as a person who is blind, she offers some excellent insight into this episode. Donna is threatened as David develops an attraction to his piano tutor Holly, while Steve threatens the KEG President by outing him to the rest of the fraternity.
TV fanatic Pam, one of the generous donors to our fundraising campaign benefiting the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, and Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles, joins us for the grooviest episode ever of Beverly Hills, 90210. We first met Pam in person when she let us sneak closer to the stage to sit with her at an “I Love the ‘90s” throwback concert featuring Color Me Badd, Kid ‘n Play, Tone Loc, and Vanilla Ice - so you know she’s a kindred spirit.
Special thanks to Shaun Fisher for performing the winners of our “David Silver’s Best Rap of the 20th Century” contest!
Joining us all the way from Chicago is Megan Rooney, one of the generous donors to our fundraising campaign benefiting the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, and Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles. Since Megan is on the Board of Directors for the Animal Care League, she’s the perfect guest to talk about Brenda and Donna’s involvement in animal rights activism. You can read The Baltimore Sun’s epic review of Beverly Hills, 90210′s 100th’s episode online.
This week on “The Blaze with Lizzie and Kat” podcast, we’re joined by Denise Hewett, the founder and CEO of Scriptd, a comprehensive database of original scripts that promotes transparency and visibility within the entertainment industry. We’re discussing the Beverly Hills, 90210 episode where “Power Feminist” Lucinda seeks independent financing for her documentary from none other than Dylan McKay.
“The Blaze with Lizzie and Kat” podcast took a trip to the premiere of Shannen Doherty’s latest film Bethany, and we got to interview its writer-director James Cullen Bressack. We pair our review of the film, and interview with Bressack, with our analysis of the Beverly Hills, 90210 season four episode “Addicted to Love.” Bethany also stars Tom Green and Stefanie Estes, and is playing in select theaters, as well as available on VOD on Amazon and iTunes.
Writer, award-winning storyteller, and podcaster Margot Leitman joins our Beverly Hills, 90210 podcast this week as David deals with his drug addiction and Andrea deals with morning sickness. Margot is the author of Gawky: Tales of an Extra Long Awkward Phase, and Long Story Short: The Only Storytelling Guide You’ll Ever Need. Along with former guest of “The Blaze” H. Alan Scott, Margot hosts Talking Crime, a not-so-serious true crime response podcast.
You can read the Los Angeles Times op-eds referenced in this episode here: “On the Dumping of a 90210 Role Model;” Charles Rosin’s response; Gabrielle Carteris’ response; and the response to her response. We’re also pleased to bring you updates on Peach Pit Willie, Jose Angel Santana, the Big Oaks Lodge, and a double-scoop of Chuck’s Corner!
It’s 2am, Condors, and DJ David Silver can’t be in the studio tonight, so your gals Lizzie and Kat are stepping in to cover his graveyard radio shift. Calls come in from listeners April in Los Angeles, Lance in Montreal, Pallavi in New York, and Jess in Australia. This episode is an experiment into the electronic grid, so it’s a good thing we love to party!
Kat is joined by her sister Alexx as a guest cohost for this week’s episode, and it’s Christmastime in Beverly Hills. We’re honored to interview a Beverly Hills, 90210 fan, comic book writer Marc Andreyko, whose latest comics anthology Love is Love benefits victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting and their families through Equality Florida.
Tech journalist, podcaster, and Bay Area native Florence Ion is our guest for “Emily,” the San Francisco-set episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.

We’re thrilled to welcome writer, actress, and blogger Christine Elise McCarthy back to our podcast to talk about her return to Beverly Hills, 90210 as Brandon’s true love Emily Valentine. Christine first joined us for our “U4EA” live show, but this time it’s just the three of us. Subscribe to Christine’s incredible food porn site Delightful-Delicious-Delovely, and don’t miss her hilarious novel Bathing and the Single Girl.
Beverly Hills, 90210′s 1993 portrayal of a campus rally to raise awareness of rape and sexual violence still sparks an intricate and complicated dialogue many years later. We were privileged to be joined by our friend Danielle Diggins, whose insight about emotional subtleties and legal issues is invaluable. Thanks also to Andy Greene of the Gossip Guys podcast and Derick Armijo of Pop Sickles for their contributions to the conversation.
The whole gang heads to Vegas for Brenda’s elopement, and there was no one better to dish real talk with us about Beverly Hills, 90210 than Ryan O’Connell. Ryan’s a television writer, blogger at @mylivejournalsucks, and has a fantastic memoir, I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves. Plus, we try out a new segment: “Dope! or Nope!”
Joined by our friend Ashley we celebrated not only Brenda’s engagement to Stuart, but also the first hundred episodes of our Beverly Hills, 90210 podcast. It’s only appropriate that things get pretty silly in this one, and we included a special megamix at the very end, looking back at all the fun we’ve had since starting this podcast in 2014.
It’s the twentieth wedding anniversary for Jim and Cindy Walsh, so we welcomed back one of our favorite married couples, Kristen Ray and Bill Hanstock. Together, we reflect on Beverly Hills, 90210, how to get rid of an unlicensed firearm in California, and puzzles.
You can listen to Bill on the Weirdos From Another Planet! podcast, and Kristen on The Logline Podcast. Read Bill’s writing about sports on UPROXX, and see him talk about pro wrestling on AfterBuzz TV. Bill’s previous appearance on The Blaze podcast was for the episode “Fire and Ice,” and Kristen’s was for “One on One.”
It is such a delight to be joined this week on “The Blaze with Lizzie and Kat” podcast by musician, television host, and raconteur Zach Selwyn to discuss his 25-year obsession with Beverly Hills, 90210, the merits of 2015′s best movie Magic Mike XXL, and much, much more. Zach’s new podcast produced by Anna Faris and co-hosted by actress Missi Pyle, “Missi & Zach Might Bang,” is coming soon!
