Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It may be The Big One, this week's episode is delightfully compact! Join us as Sandra shares about some of the women referenced in the episode, Emily digs into the saucy tell-all of a 2 time GG reference, and Jess describes Paris as "totally boneable." All that and more in this week's bits episode! - Email us at [email protected] to be featured in future episodes, or leave us a message on Anchor.fm/townmeetingpod! Special thanks to ack106 for the...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Ladies and gents, this here is an S-tier podcast episode. That's right, this episode manages to hit every one of the Super Six talking points: 1. Speeches (C-SPAN!) 2. Sex talk (Paris!) 3. Soapbox (We have Big Feelings about how society pressures young women!) 4. Sneezing (Allergy med induced ex run-ins!) 6. Snail mail (Kirk is the worst mailman ever!) 7. Smut (We end up talking about 50 Shades of Gray somehow!) Joins us this week as we discuss The Big...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Welcome to the bits.....of a still confusing movie reference titled episode. If anyone knows what face-off is referencing in this episode, please tell us! Emily and Sandra both have some potential Mandela effect going on, and we discuss that obviously any movie based in your state, you know everything about. Some fun info about the Distillers, Lane looking a little older than normal (according to some of us), and some sad Jess reflection. Sorry Jess stans,...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. And welcome to...the hockey episode. Assuming you've watched this entire series through, that's all you need to know. But boy do we have things to say! Exactly how old is Taylor? We backtrack to Halloween and talk about Mischief Night, Jess informs us of a 2000's PSA from Hilary Duff, and we discuss the friendships that could have been, but never were. Sad face. We do discuss some casual racism thanks to a rude guest at the inn, Emily shares some Indiana...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. This week on the bits, we English-Class discuss the title of the episode with Sandra, absolutely lose it with Emily as she tells us about the world's worst play, and try to figure out "ASP hats" with Jess. Also in this episode: a continued dislike of geese and swans. Sorry, bird-lovers! Email us at [email protected] to be featured in future episodes, or leave us a message on Anchor.fm/townmeetingpod! Special thanks to ack106 for the jingles! Some...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. "Hi, it's me. I'm the problem, it's me!" - the swan who beaked Jess, probably. Join us as we talk about "it" (as in sex!), our love for Lorelai's perfect man (who is not Luke?) and embarrassing mothers (Mrs. Kim, come on!). Also in this episode: frank discussions on birth control, knowing when to leave a fight with your partner for later, and whether or not we confided about "it" with our own mothers beforehand.  Just as a general cw: sex, although not in...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Hey, listeners? I cannot stress enough that this is NOT the episode of our beloved pod that you should turn on when passed the aux cord during your family holiday travels this weekend. Your sweet little grandma's heart just couldn't take it. You've been warned! Tune in if you dare...  In this episode: Sandra hits the highlights in an especially reference-heavy episode and we talk a lot about Grease and Halloweentown, Emily takes us to hell (literally), and...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Oh baby! It's the flashback episode, baby Gigi is on the way, and Sandra and Jess turn to resident pod-mom cohost Emily to get the 411 on all things birth and delivery. Honestly quite a bit of pregnancy and birth chat today, so if that's not your jam you might want to sit this one out. Also in this episode: Patty is a sex pest, SO MANY question about pickles, regrets about school trips not taken, find out which TM cohost missed a meeting with the pope, and...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's time for the bits! We have some fun references to some surprising guest starts and their relations, we all do our best True Blood "Sookie" impressions (don't judge), Rory repeats a books (unhelpful for the books section), Jess discusses some iconic Lorelai fashion, and some Lane dress up fashion. Sandra and Emily might fight, and we have the great coffee debate. Join us this week for Lorelai Out of Water Part 2! Email us at [email protected] to...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess.  Sandra FINALLY shares her news! Our favorite contractor returns and we question local government practices, we have possible proof that Zach was never meant to be a love interest, and btw, how old are these boys? Where does all of Lane's money come from? What love interest does Alex mostly compare to? When did Rory and Lane start doing the  hair and make up for the weddings at the Kim's? We have the mystery of Mr. Hunter, Emily has a hot take about Luke's...

Welcome back for the bits! Sandra questions Paris's insults (how does she know these things?), Emily tells us all about Joan (Didion, that is), and Jess talks winter fashion (scarves, anyone?). Also in this episode: uh, not Emily. At least, not really. Get well soon, Em! Jess and I are not nearly as good with technology... Email us at [email protected] to be featured in future episodes, or leave us a message on Anchor.fm/townmeetingpod! Special thanks to ack106 for the jingles! Some...

Welcome to the Cursed Episode...aka the episode where Jess and Sandra almost lose the will to live, and Jess just straight up quits within the first 5 minutes of the pod. See, once upon a time, this episode did feature 3 hosts who cheerfully broke down Michel's collegial experience, debated Joe's and Sookie's intentions, and even discussed Billy Burke's mustache in detail, but that episode has been lost in the ether. So forced to (kind of) pull a Taylor Swift, this episode has been...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's time for the bits! Jess' audio still hasn't recovered from its Oops! All Echoes accident last week, but it's on the mend! In this episode:  Sandra hits the highlights of the many name drops, Jess shares a Stuart Fact and thinks Rory looks chic, and Emily has some recommended reading for anyone who wants to get a leg up on their work frenemy or maybe just simply win a war. We're still in our pre-recording frenzy as we prep for the Big Life Event that...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's Town Meeting: Oops! All Echoes edition. (Cohost) Jess joins us from her new recording setup inside an empty bathtub inside a metal coffee can filled with cotton balls. What we're saying is that her audio is not great, and we apologize for a less than stellar listening experience.  But there's more to this episode than one bad vocal track! Including: a surprising amount of marching band discussion, total agreement that Francie is awful and the student...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess.  It's time for the bits! Jess curses Emily. As in, host Jess curses host Emily, not Jess Mariano cursing Emily Gilmore. Everyone should absolutely drop what they are doing and go watch Moulin Rouge if you haven't seen it (starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor), there are some coats to die for (you know which ones), and a bit of Town Meeting Pod Gossip at the end. Join us this week for Part 2 of a Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving!  Email us at...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Emily is demanding an appearance by Lorelai at Thanksgiving dinner which gives the girls 4, yes you read right FOUR THANKSGIVING DINNERS to go to, and how did 4 separate Thanksgivings get started? We have multiple questions this episode, do "Cat Kirk" and "Human Kirk" count as distinct nicknames, is Rory polyamorous, where is Rune, does Cat Kirk have thumbs? Jess has opinions about cranberry sauce, we have a PSA for Thanksgiving day turkeys, Dean becomes a...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. We're back with the bits! Strap in because Sandra's got a lot of doom and gloom for us in this week's references. Emily digs into a beautiful song from a band with a rough financial history, and Jess is underwhelmed by the majority of the episode's costuming choices (ah, the early 2000s where your shirt could be rhinestoned and tokenizing at the same time!). Join us for the second half of our look at Let The Games Begin!  Email us at...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. The games have begun (or is it the beginning of the end?), and we have a lot of thoughts! But those thoughts are coming from very tired hosts, so bear with us! Join us for this episode as we discuss Soft Boyfriend Jess (Mariano), the walnut salad fiasco, YALE, Kool-Aid man Luke, and get your daily Fish Facts from Jess (cohost). Also in this episode:  #1 parent Luke Danes returns, 3 proposals and a bookcase, overt drooling over the iconic Kiss Scene, and...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. We're still tap-tap-tapping at the Dance Marathon, but this time we're talking background details, such as: the title of the episode (which comes from an...interesting movie), the kinds of books Jess Mariano likes to read at 5am (is Jess...pretentious?), and of course, the fashion that took this episode to another level (except for one...disappointing character). Join us as we discuss Kenny Ortega, Big Band Music and Victory Rolls! Email us at...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's the Dance Marathon episode!! Put your hair in some victory rolls, wear your highest and most vintage heels, and throw on your best military-esque dress, or you know, don't. That's okay, too! In this episode, Sandra calls a love interest "beige", Emily gets lost in a time black hole, and Jess loves "magician" Taylor. And oh, yeah - there's a break-up! Bye, bye Dean! Helllllllo, Jess. Let's see how long this last (spoiler alert: barely a...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Take the Deviled Eggs Part 2! We have all the references, books, and fashion you can handle for for this episode. We have a reference that's a weirdly dark...joke? Beloved childhood books, and is Rory wearing a jean vest? Sandra is deeply hurt by some audio left on the cutting room floor from our episode with John Cabrera (aka Brian), and Jess has a fun life announcement! We are eternally grateful for the response to our new schedule and so incredibly...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Our first official split episode with our new schedule, we have the episode discussion for Take the Deviled Eggs! Stars Hollow is rocked by so much scandal, Jess has a new car, Taylor is getting special presents from birds, and the town loner wants to protest....something. Join us while we discuss Shane's motive for leaving her bra in the back seat, is Sherry insanely naive or insanely cruel, and uh oh, Luke has a mystery to solve. Email us at...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Ch-ch-ch-changes...for the podcast, but not so much for the Gilmore Girls. No, not much happens in this episode that carries over, except for the Jess Mariano of it all, of course. Join us as we discuss Sandra being a pizza snob, Jess being okay with a bad date if it means Bowie, and Emily announcing something incredibly exciting!!  And oh, those ch-ch-ch-changes? Well, stay tuned to the very end to hear a very frank and honest discussion by the Town...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. The wait is over! Here's our big surprise... we were lucky enough to record this episode with the one, the only: John Cabrera (aka Brian Fuller)! We had a BLAST discussing this episode with John. Join us as we discuss John's/Brian's first episode, hear about John's experience of being cast, and learn the surprising role he wanted more than Brian! We chat about the villainization of Shane, learn why the background actors always look a bit too old for high...

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. We're so sorry that we don't have a new episode this week, but we promise that what's coming is worth the wait! We've got a very BIG very EXCITING very SURPRISING episode in the works that's just going to take us a bit longer to edit than planned. We'll see you next week!   Email us at [email protected] to be featured in future episodes! Special thanks to ack106 for the jingles!
