Generation Barney

Meet “Generation Barney,” a seven-part podcast about the media we loved as kids and how it shapes us.

It’s about the purple dinosaur. But it’s also about music and love and backlash and toys and nostalgia. Most of all, it’s about the television that helps us become who we are, from the station that helped launch Barney into the world.

Episodes drop Tuesdays, starting November 12th. Listen below or find us on your favorite podcast platform.

"I've been listening to this series since 11/12 and I enjoyed it so much. I listen to podcasts from time to time but this one is my new favorite series. And it also has a nice and positive vibe of Barney the dinosaur as he always spreads love to fans and children in the 90s to today."
