- 3/31 6:30PMDave Arland- Star Trek"Hooked on the music, the message, the props and its optimistic tone, Dave became enamored with Star Trek as a kid and never looked back. Since the 70’s he’s been an avid collector of not only screen-used props like Tribbles or even the space panel button from Kirk’s chair but has also amassed some amazing-looking replica items like the 3D chess set and Star Trek communicator that look as good as the real thing. Joining Dave today is his supportive wife Karen, who also likes Star Trek, just not as much as her husband. Our pop culture expert Mark Short will assess Dave’s collection and then offer him a trade-- his screen-used Star Trek prop, for one of Dave’s."
- 4/7 6:30PMTV Props & Costumes- Stewart Berkowitz"If you think this collector looks familiar, you're right! But when you have as many fabulous screen-used TV Costumes, Props and Vehicles from the 60's and 70's as Stewart does, one visit with his collection just won't cut it. And that's why we've supersized this episode for a full hour long special. Today, for the second time, Stewart will show Lisa some of the actual costumes worn on the TV shows that so many of us have loved over so many years, and wait till you see how he has them displayed. There's Barney Fife's costume from The Andy Griffith Show, Samantha and Endora's outfits from Bewitched, Batman '66 costumes with all your favorite villains, Kirk and Spock's uniforms and even, an entire onstage TV set that was Stewart's holy grail. Lucky for us today, our expert is Marcia Tysseling who's worked in the celebrity world and can put a value on Stewart's amazing museum-like collection. Then, in an attempt to make a trade with him, Marcia's brought an item she knows Stewart will lose his mind over, but is her trade request hitting below the belt?"
- 4/14 6:30PMToys- Shawn Sheridan""Monster Party" podcaster Shawn Sheridan is into horror, his wife Gina is all about sci-fi. Together they've made their pop-culture passion a cornerstone of their marriage, as we find out when Lisa joins them in the room they've dedicated to their shared collection of action figures, memorabilia, and more. Shawn and Gina display such treasures as "Galaxy Quest" glasses made exclusively for the cult TV show's crew, and full-size replicas of both the killer doll from "Trilogy of Terror" and Twiki the robot from TV's "Buck Rogers" (who actually talks and shares a few choice words). Lisa brings along toy collector and creator Gavin Hignight, who will put a value on Shawn and Gina's entire collection. But things really get wild when Gavin calls in "Collector's Call" all-stars (and Shawn's co-podcasters) Matt Weinhold and Larry Strothe, for our very first double trade scene!"
