Hi r/entertainment! I’m Cassandra Basler, the co-producer and editor of the chart-topping podcast Generation Gilmore Girls (which was called a “must-listen” podcast by The Guardian, PEOPLE Magazine and others) from CT Public, an Edward R. Murrow Award-winning NPR and PBS member station.
To coincide with the 25th anniversary of the hit TV show Gilmore Girls, we launched this three-part podcast series to revisit Gilmore Girls and explore why it still resonates 25 years later – unpacking how the show affected the actors who worked on it, the fans who loved it, and the state it’s based in. We also got to hear from original cast members, including Emily Kuroda (Mrs. Kim), Yanic Truesdale (Michel Gerard) and Keiko Agena (Lane Kim).
Join me (along with my colleagues who also produced Generation Gilmore Girls) live at 9am PT / 12pm ET today (February 20) for an AMA.
Here is a timezone converter to help you find the time of the AMA wherever you are.
During the AMA, we’re happy to answer your questions about…
- Why the show still resonates (across different life stages) after 25 years
- Our experience of interviewing select cast members
- The friendships and fandom that keeps the Gilmore Girls-focused festivals alive
- The impact of women in media and how Amy Sherman-Palladino, not just wrote funny women into the central focus of the show, but also in a male-dominated space
… and more!
Before the AMA begins, be sure to check-out Generation Gilmore Girls on your favorite podcast app.
