The latest full-length episode of The Purple Stuff Podcast is here! Join us on a soft and cuddly adventure through the world of STUFFED TOYS from the '80s and '90s. We're talking about dolls, plushies and Pillow People!

That episode should be on your main feeds now, but if you want some quick links, here it is on Apple, or Spotify, or if you prefer, here's a direct link to the MP3.

But wait... there's more! For those of you on our $6 tier, we also just dropped this month's bonus show, where we're looking at four more stuffed toys from the '80s and '90s. If you subscribe to us at the $6 level, that episode is available to you right now!

Thanks so much for your support, everyone! Sorry about this one going up at the last minute, but when you're dealing with subject matter like the Hugga Bunch television special, you really gotta take your time and get it right.

Really living dangerously with deadlines to start the year.

I used to see a lot of these thrifting in the early 00’s. Not so much anymore… such a fun episode!

Jesse Dubinsky

I know they aren't mentioned here, but my mom still has my original Pound Puppy from 40 years ago. I also "adopted" a grey throw pillow as a stuffed animal, named LP for little pillow.

Andrew Shaw

I may have scratched my chin a bit and tilted my head slightly after reading what this month’s topic was. Seriously- great show as always. I only remember having a stuffed Chewbacca.

Anita

I had to look up some of these, like the lots o legs, love learning new things.

Hot take...I'm not sure about the new intro. I kind of miss the robot voice, but I could warm up to it.

Dan Schoening

I had a Punky Pillow. Glo Worm is a bonifide classic!

Anita

Jay might be too tuff to admit this, but I would've loved to hear about yall's oldest stuffed toy you still have from growing up.

Jack Kearney

As a kid who had a hard time peeling myself away from the TV, that couch potato was my absolute favorite toy. I felt seen. Validated

Doctor Outlandish

Am I the only one who cracked up at Matt’s delivery of “and it’s big too!” around the 31 minute mark talking about Baby Sinclair? Awesome show.

Randall Ragsdale

What is the name of that banging cover version of the My Buddy theme? I loved it and want to hear the rest.

I’m really late to the game on this episode but there is a late 90’splush toy line called Meanies, I assume its play on Beanie Babies. I found out about them from a Quaker Oats cereal promotion, they’re like the plush version of Mad Balls
