Episode 62: TLC Showdown
Do you remember the classic shows from the hit TV channel TLC? In this episode, I discuss shows such as 19 Kids and Counting, What Not to Wear, Toddlers and Tiaras, and many more. All I’m saying is maybe “The Learning Channel” should start calling itself “The Trauma Channel.”
