Episode 12: VeggieTales
from Beyond the Lens (with Eric, Rico and PJ) · host Rico Robbins
Grab your Bibles, and take a trip with us up and down the produce aisle. In today’s episode, PJ leads a discussion with Eric and Rico about the popular Christian-themed show for children, VeggieTales! Of course, our recurring theme of religious content in children’s programming is a topic for discussion. As the first show to ever be produced in CGI, the history of the show is also discussed, as well as various songs and pop culture references. Also talked about is NBC’s big (but not-so-bright) idea to cut out all religious references and mention of God in their initial airings. Whether you’re religious or not, you don’t want to miss this episode! (And don’t worry, Bob, no “What Have We Learned Today?” song is featured in this podcast!)
