You remember them as kids. But what happened after the cameras stopped? Hosted by former child actors from The Little Rascals, Jordan Warkol and Blake Collins reconnect with fellow child stars to talk about what growing up in Hollywood was really like and what life looks like now. This isn’t a “what went wrong?” podcast—no clickbait, no forced trauma. Just real conversations about identity, family, burnout, reinvention—and growing up a little too early. Each episode comes back to one question: “What was your first call?”—the origin story of how it all started. From on-set memories to life after fame, these are the stories you didn’t hear.

We sit down with Miko Hughes, who started working younger than anyone we've talked to yet, having been just over two years old when he played Gage Creed in the 1989 horror classic Pet Sematary. His story starts before he could even walk, when his mom heard him spell a word from his car seat and decided, on the spot, to take him to Hollywood. She spent nine months getting past the front desk of the biggest kids' agency in town, and once she did, Miko booked the first three things he ever went ...
We sit down with Natanya Ross, known to a generation as Robyn Russo, the dark, sharp, unforgettable heart of The Secret World of Alex Mack. Natanya's story starts earlier than almost anyone's, on stage as a baby and on Broadway before she ever set foot in Hollywood. We get into the call that changed her life & pulled her family west, the audition that was only supposed to last three episodes and turned into one of Nickelodeon's most beloved characters, and what it was like to grow up on c...
In Episode 3, we sit down with Marty York, known to a generation as Yeah-Yeah from the 1993 classic The Sandlot. Marty takes us back to how it all started, the audition that changed direction at the last minute, and what it was really like being part of a movie that became a phenomenon long after the cameras stopped rolling. We get into the highs, the harder chapters, the money, the reinvention, and the long road that led him back to telling his own story on his own terms. It's funny, it's h...
In Episode 2, we welcome our first guest and it's someone we go way back with. Blake McIver Ewing, known to most as Waldo from The Little Rascals, sits down with us to talk about a career that started before most kids learn to ride a bike. Blake's story begins with Star Search, where he talked his way onto the main stage at six years old and won. From there, it was Full House, The Little Rascals, a groundbreaking run in Ragtime, and a path through Hollywood that most people never hear the ful...
Before the guests start coming on, we figured the best place to begin… was with us. In Episode 1, Jordan Warkol & Blake Collins sit down and interview each other about a friendship that’s lasted more than 30 years—starting with the moment that changed everything: getting the call that led to The Little Rascals. We go back to what it was actually like being kids thrown into Hollywood—what we understood at the time, what we didn’t, and how different it all looks now with a few decades of pe...
