The Simpsons as a special interest
Rachael Hunter has been a fan of The Simpsons since she was the same age as Bart Simpson during the first season of the show. Rachael shares some of her favourite characters, musical numbers, celebrity guests, and literary and historical references within storylines (including the influence of Conan O’Brien as a writer). We discuss the phenomenon of The Simpsons seemingly predicting the future and references from The Simpsons that have become common phrases and memes.
This conversation is available via the Wide Open Air Exchange podcast.
Thanks to Rachael for allowing the Wide Open Air Exchange to use her personalised Simpson portrait as the feature image.
