EPISODES
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.

This week’s episode has been postponed to Thursday night so we could schedule the recording with our guest, but we’re sure that it’ll be worth the wait! For now here are some great tidbits from our teen hotline, and a flashback to the Fox promo for this episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.
Since we didn’t even go to a school with a Greek system, we recruited USC Gender Studies professor and pop culture expert Karen Tongson to join us on the show to discuss the Beverly Hills, 90210 episode where Andrea meets an anti-Semitic sorority president! Karen’s cultural study of Los Angeles’ sprawl, Relocations: Queer Suburban Imaginaries, is available on Amazon.
