Dorothy and friends are FINALLY admitted to see the Wizard.. but not before Tara and EmKay unpack the history behind Dorothy's favorite expression: "Jiminy Crickets!" and uncover some amusing cut lines and scenes. Episode highlights include illuminating the inspiration and design behind the throne room, the special effects that went into creating the Wizard's talking head and voice, EmKay putting Tara to the test to define some advanced level spelling words and some personal reflections on being given a broomstick to take the long way around. Glennon Doyle's fantastic podcast is also shouted out, because duh.
