Update: 2024-12-23
Description
Back in the 90s, Barney the purple dinosaur was everywhere, including in our living rooms. If you were a kid or a parent back then, chances are good that you had a stuffed Barney lying around your home.
This hour, we listen to episode 4 – “Purple Capitalism” – of Connecticut Public’s new podcast, Generation Barney.
And later, we’re joined by an expert in toy studies, Meredith Bak, who explains why merchandise played a big role in the TV show’s success.
