episode 574: Judy Gold
This one goes out to all the really tall gals with big, beautiful feet! Get ready for a lively chat with comedy legend Judy Gold this week on The JV Club, where parents muddle their way through their kids’ sexuality, coffee ice cream reigns supreme (with augmentation!), and we can’t get enough of Barbara Eden in a certain iconic tv costume.
episode 573: Sarah D. Bunting
Grab your ballpark hot dog and gather up all your unnecessarily detailed historical baseball stats for this delightful chat with Sarah D. Bunting (Best Evidence), in which we head to New Jersey, jam to Top 40, dig into Mom’s meatloaf, and heaps more. In fact, JV and SDB gabbed so much, they didn’t even talk about this book Sarah co-wrote to guide you through every episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210!"
Rerun: Jordan Morris
From a shared mutual love of the “Miss Chevious” detective novels to the perennial -- if scary -- appeal of an old diving suit, JV and this week’s Boy of Summer Jordan Morris (Jordan Jesse, Go!) cover a lot of ground. (This episode was published in 2018)
episode 572: Olivia Flood-Wylie
This week we bring you the delightful Olivia Flood-Wylie (check out her comedy special Half & Half here!) and tales of Amsterdam, Los Angeles, the mean girls high school experience, and maybe the most some of us have ever talked or heard about the Tinkerbell movies!
episode 571: Vicki Peterson of The Bangles!
It’s almost time to start assembling your facial tissue Christmas tree! Not sure what that means or where to begin? You’re in luck! This week’s amazing guest, Vicki Peterson of the LEGENDARY band The Bangles, is a seasoned expert.
episode 570: Kara Klenk
Get ready to balance your high school budget with this week’s guest, Treasurer extraordinaire Kara Klenk, who also now happens to co-host the Law & Order: SVU podcast That’s Messed Up. This is the kind of rad project you could only hope for from someone whose entire family gets on board for a good crime docu-binge!
episode 569: Alisha Wainwright
We’re elated to welcome the dynamic actor Alisha Wainwright, who tells of her Jamaican & Haitian roots, her teen years in the Sunshine State, wrapping our heads around dark matter, and her new podcast, the very cool When Science Finds a Way!
episode 568: Caitlin Cook
Quick! Get yourself to the best bathroom graffiti you can find and celebrate it with Caitlin Cook, who takes us from the streets of mid-city LA and some classically catty high school girls (not Caitlin!) to an off-Broadway theatre for her amazing one-woman musical. Plus! A healthy M.A.S.H. scoop of lion love!
RERUN: Jessica St. Clair
Celebrate living in the moment– which in this case includes “moments” devoted to excessive cheek blush, dead teeth, and the raw sexual power of Night Court and Three’s Company– from one of the creators and stars of NBC’s Best Friends Forever, Jessica St. Clair. This episode also requires audience participation, via several non-rhetorical questions for the listener!
episode 566: Boys of Summer - Tom Lum
Heads-up! This is a very special episode of The JV Club! In which we welcome Max Fun’s own Tom Lum (Let’s Learn Everything!), who may or may not have listened to The JV Club as a teen himself and is now a guest on it talking about his teen years. Which may or may not move JV to tears. We bet you can guess on that one. So dig into your Eggs Benedict and let’s go!
