Why are\xa0sitcoms like\xa0Small Wonder\xa0so\xa0haunting to some of us? My guest, Bridget McGovern, a writer and managing editor at sci-fi/fantasy site\xa0tor.com, sheds some light on this subject and many others as we delve into the pop cultural universe, sharing stories about coming of age during an era of often strange, sometimes inspiring, always memorable cultural production. From The Golden Girls\xa0and Designing Women\xa0to Jim Jarmusch\xa0and Game of Thrones,\xa0Bridget and I talk about pop culture's particular impact on identity, its power to build communities, and its uncanny ability to make us keep the lights on.
