They Thought I Was You
Hosts Becca Roth and Lani Harms revisit their childhood obsessions with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, analyzing their work, examining their impact on pop culture, and talking with the people who worked with them. It's the deep dive you've always wanted and the recognition the Olsen Twins always deserved.
They Thought I Was You
Our Last Episode (for now)
🥺
We love this podcast. We love the journey it's taken us on, the lessons it's taught us, and the people we've met making it. 10 year old Becca and Lani didn't know what podcasts were, but we dreamed of making this one. And only 6 short years later, we did it.
JK it took us over 20 years, but our wildest dreams came true! We met Clarice Kensington, Jordan Landers, Larry Slotnick, Brigitte from Passport to Paris, Rachel from Winning London, Lyndi from Getting There, the writer of It Takes Two, Mary-Kate and Ashley’s TV & movie dad, an MTV VJ and so many more! We got to revisit our most beloved childhood movies and TV shows. We got to go back in time every week with our favorite twins. We discovered that they were, by every imaginable account, just normal f*cking girls. Best of all, we found the Mary-Kate to our Ashley. And we got to share this all with thousands of others with our same niche obsession, making us feel a little less alone. It really was magical.
Which is why this episode, our 100th, is a bittersweet one. Although we could talk about Mary-Kate and Ashley literally forever, we also have to heed their lessons and know when to explore other ventures. And after taking time (more than we expected, very sorry about that), we've decided that time has come.
This isn't goodbye forever, but goodbye for now. The era of the (bi)weekly podcast has come to a close, but the episode catalogue will continue to live in this feed and on YouTube. We may even come back to visit when the mic calls ;)
We love you all so much. This really has been that cant-eat, cant-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, world-series kinda stuff. Thank you for making us the two luckiest podcast hosts in the world.
