Description

Let us leave behind these earthly confines and take to the air majestically, like Kevin off the back of a motorcycle into the Tommy Sherman memorial sapling. It's time to look at "A Tree Grows in Lawndale," this week on Morgendorks! When Kevin gets into a motorcycle accident and is left unable to play football, he sinks into a deep depression—taking the entire town of Lawndale with him.
And for our cultural context, we look at how the success of your local high school football team may actually, in fact, have an impact on your property values. The world is weird.
Speaking of weird, we derail almost immediately when one of us hits up Google on a totally relevant search for Daria BDSM fanfiction. So ... yay.

We're engaging in that proud Millennial tradition of nostalgia podcasting by taking an in-depth look at Daria, the iconic MTV cartoon that aired from 1997 to 2002. Whether you're a long-time fan of the show (like host Rob Press) or a relative newcomer (like host Nissa Lee), join us every two weeks as we explore the cynical, sarcastic, still-very-resonant world of our favorite animated teenage misanthrope.
