Published: Sept. 1, 2018, 5:54 p.m.

Hey Everyone,\n\nAngela Bowen here, the host of the brand new podcast Together, We're Gonna Find Our Way: A Silver Spoons Podcast.\n\nS1E1: The Pilot\n\nAirdate: September 25, 1982\n\nIn this episode Millionaire Edward Stratton III, an overgrown child on the verge of bankruptcy, learns that he has a son, Ricky, from a previous marriage.\n\nI enjoying covering this podcast episode and the chemistry between Ricky Schroder and Joel Higgins is both phenomenal and magnetic. They really click.\n\nIf you watched The Wonder Years you\u2019ll recognize Lou as Coach Cutlip.\n\nErin Gray as Kaye Summers is the voice of reason with Edward basically telling him to man up and being what Ricky needs, a father.\n\nLeonard Lightfoot as Edward\u2019s advisor helps keep him grounded and his feet on the ground and trust me Edward needs all the help he can get between Kate, Ricky, and Leonard.\n\nJason Bateman as Derek even though we saw him for only a moment can already tell he seems like the male version of Margaux Kramer from Punky Brewster.\n\nDerek\u2019s hard words might hurt Ricky but really whatever he dishes out, Ricky gives back double.\n\nNext week on the podcast I'll be covering S1E2: Boys Will Be Boys, which aired on October 2, 1982.\n\nIn this episode Ricky is pleased that Edward lets him get away with everything - until Derek tells him it means he doesn't care about Ricky. Edward has to show Ricky that his relaxed attitude toward discipline doesn't mean that he doesn't love him.\n\nI know I\u2019m gonna have a great time covering this show and hope you all have a fun time listening!\n\nIf you wanna reach out to me in regards to the show, you can do so at the podcast\u2019s new email address silverspoonspodcast@gmail.com.\n\nI'd love to hear from you and your thoughts on the podcast and the show in general, what were your favorite episodes growing up, and what episodes you're looking forward to me covering in the future on the podcast.\n\nAlso you can follow the podcast on Facebook and Instagram to see upcoming episodes and fun trivia facts and other things.\n\nIf you'd like a shout out on the podcast you can email me or leave a review on Itunes at Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast since this show will be on the same feed.\n\nThe Books I Talked About On The Podcast:\n\nNightbooks By: J.A.
