Revive "This Podcast Has Fleas"
The Issue
"This Podcast Has Fleas" was a unique and entertaining family podcast that played a significant role in bringing laughter and joy into our lives. Having enjoyed it immensely, it was a staple for my family, providing us a creative outlet in a world often filled with serious and heavy problems. My kids loved the quirky and amusing characters, and as parents, we appreciated the clever humor and the fantastic talent involved. It became a source of bonding for our family, bridging the generation gap with shared laughter and shared moments.
In today's world, where it often feels like we're bombarded with stress-inducing media, light-hearted and fun audio content like "This Podcast Has Fleas" is more crucial than ever. The podcast featured an exceptionally talented cast, including Jay Pharoah, Emily Lynne, and Eugene Mirman, along with engaging storylines that were perfect for listeners of all ages. The podcast had high production quality, and set a high bar for family entertainment on the go. Despite its short run, it managed to capture the hearts of many families and create fond memories.
Bringing back "This Podcast Has Fleas" could not only rekindle those cherished moments but also serve as a much-needed counterbalance to the numerous serious and sometimes overwhelming podcasts out there. It would provide a platform where families could come together, laugh, and unwind after busy days.
We urge WNYC Studios, particularly Paula Szuchman, Vice President of On-Demand Content, and Sarah Sandbach, Executive Director of RadioLab, to consider reviving this wonderful show. Imagine the joy and laughter it could continue to spread to families new and old. The demand for creative and spirited content that can be enjoyed by all is evident, and "This Podcast Has Fleas" is the perfect candidate to fill this void.
Please support this petition to bring back "This Podcast Has Fleas." Sign today and help us convince WNYC Studios to put this delightful show back on air and into our hearts.
