Go Bayside!

@gobayside

My name is April Richardson and I love Saved by the Bell. I was in high school in the mid-'90s, when SBTB came on four times a day: twice on WGN and then twice more on TBS. I watched every episode in that two-hour block right after school, and had already watched the original airings on Saturday mornings. I have every episode memorized, and while I might sometimes forget family members' birthdays, I can still tell you that Zack got 1502 on his SATs. I started this podcast pretty much just to have another place to talk about this show. Once a week (or whenever I can), I invite a friend (usually a fellow comedian) over to my apartment in Hollywood to watch and dissect an episode with me. Listen along, won't you? It'll be like you're there with us, cracking on Zack and the gang! [email protected]

What is art? Is art art?

Hi! I make stuff here now: https://www.patreon.com/aprilrichardson

If you liked Go Bayside, I just wanted to let you know that I do new podcast eps over there! Deep cuts with Millie, chats with guests like Jon Hamm, and more!

I’m getting in my Honda Civic and driving around the country this summer. Please come out and see me tell some jokes; I promise you will have at least a little bit of fun. I’m a goof and I’m nice and I like to talk to people. Let’s hang out. Also, it’s not illegal to reblog/share this 7,000 times. Details as I confirm them will be on aprilrichardson.com

Episode M02 with Paul F. Tompkins, "Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas"

Paul F. Tompkins (@PFTompkins, BoJack Horseman, SPONTANEANATION, #1 podcast MVP) and I watch the feature-length film, Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas and, as is our wont, go off on many, many tangents.

This is the FINAL EP of the podcast I started on a whim over four (!) years ago, in February 2013. If you've enjoyed it during that time and you would like to donate, my Paypal page is here:

If you don't have any spare cash or you did not enjoy the 'cast, I understand on both counts. This has been so fun to make and I'm beyond psyched that anyone outside of my immediate circle of friends has listened to it. Thank you to everyone for every kind email, tweet, review, etc; I really appreciate it. I will be back soon with another (non-TV) podcast! I hope you will come back! xoxo

Episode 082 with April Richardson, "Isn't It Romantic?" and "Best Summer of My Life"

I watched the two clips shows by myself, because it felt weird/mean to make anyone else come over to sit through the "we gotta fill up 22 minutes and we ain't got any new material" episodes with me.

Kurt and I watch the one where the posse decide to give Bayside a new school song; Zack cheats (of course) in order to win the song contest, but gets his comeuppance in the form of "pure lemon extract," which makes him choke in front of the whole senior class.
