After 15 months of wholesome family TV recommendations, Wholesome TV Picks is signing off for good. Jennifer shares the real story behind the decision — the hours, the burnout, the joy, and the gratitude — so loyal listeners don't get left without an explanation. She also leaves you with a final batch of movie and TV picks to carry you forward.
📌 Episode Highlights
- The Hours No One Sees: Each episode took 12 to 15 hours to produce — planning, editing, SEO research, show notes, newsletters, and more. Jennifer breaks down what went into every single week.
- Flying Blind: With no listener feedback over 15 months, Jennifer had no way to know what was working. She shares how that silence made an already hard job even harder.
- One More Round of Picks: Before signing off, Jennifer recommends dog movies, overlooked classics, and underrated gems including Masters of the Universe, It Takes Two, The Brooke Ellison Story, and I Am Sam.
