Thank you for tuning in to the Pop Culture Retrospective Podcast!  This show is dedicated to, and inspired by, my sister.

On today's episode, you will learn about the history of Fisher Price Toys, a staple in American households (and abroad) for almost 100 years! You will learn about the company's early days with their "16 Hopefuls" all the way to their current status as a billion dollar company.  You'll also learn about which toys my sister and I had as children, including some that I still have as an adult (Fisher Price Toys hold up VERY well I might add!). 

So kick up your feet, relax and enjoy!

Here is a link to a YouTube video I mentioned in today's episode, where clips of Wilford Brimley got put together to make a hilarious "Diabeetus" music video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILIvPzyK_8I
