Hey Punky Peeps,\n\n Welcome to a New Year and a new Season of the Punky Brewster. I\u2019m Angela Bowen the host of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast.\n\n \nToday I\u2019ll be covering S3E1: Reading, Writing and Rock and Roll which aired on October 30, 1987.\n\n\n\nIn this episode Punky wants to see the rock group DeBarge in concert, but Henry is more concerned with her education.\n\nIn this episode I talk about the importance of reading and even suggest a couple of books I've read. Young Adult Contemporary Love, Life and the List by Kasie West and Middle Grade Series Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger.\n\nI also recommend Jimmy Dean Pancake and Sausage Bites and Cinnamon Candy Oreos.\n\nI mention the passing of one of the cohosts of the 3 Day Rental Podcast.\n\nI talk about my time meeting the band Hanson in 2011 when I'd first listened to them back in 1997 when I was 14 and their pictures graced my walls. \n\nSpeaking of reading I talk about the time I got Jeremy who by the way doesn't like to read I got him to read at least 10 books and this was before we started dating.\n\n\nBrandon Tail Wag Episode Rating:\n\nI gave this episode 3 out of 5 Brandon Tail Wags\n\n1. Brandon's DeBarge Outfit\n\n2. Henry going to DeBarge and asking them to convince Punky of the importance of reading.\n\n3. DeBarge giving Punky and her friends a special at home concert and explaining the virtues of Tom Sawyer.\n\nI knocked Brandon Tail Wags.\n\n1. For Spud, I'm not a fan of him (feels like a replacement for Allen).\n\n2. Betty fainting at the sight of DeBarge 4 (yes, I'm serious, 4 times, once was enough, but four was overkill and a cause for concern for Betty's mental state).\n\n\nPUNKY'S PRINCIPLES:\n\nI personally feel if you don't like reading, you just haven't met the right book yet. Also if DeBarge takes the time to perform a personal in home concert, you dang well better pick up a book after! You HEAR me PUNKY!!\n\n\nI want to give a sincere thank to all you listeners out there whether you listen to this podcast on Itunes or Soundcloud or any other listening platforms that you may use to hear this podcast.
