Generation Gilmore Girls: Welcome to Stars Hollow, Connecticut!
Every year, fans travel to Connecticut to get a taste of Stars Hollow. No, the town doesn’t exist. But it is inspired by very real places. Those places have even been shaped by the show. In this episode, we explore which parts of Connecticut inspired "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. We’ll road trip with you to discover your own piece of Stars Hollow – and to see how the real life places compare to the Connecticut on the show. Parents, a heads-up: audio contains a few bleeped explicit words.

25 years after its premiere, "Gilmore Girls" lives on because of its fans. Those fans have created a special community – one that feels a lot like the small town of Stars Hollow in the show. What is it about "Gilmore Girls" that inspires people to come together? And what can it teach us about what we’re missing in our daily lives? “Gilmore Guys” podcast host Kevin T. Porter, cast member Yanic Truesdale, and Firelight Festival organizer Jennie Whitaker reflect on the special fandom that is keeping the show alive on television screens and in our hearts.

"Gilmore Girls" premiered on The WB in October 2000 and it’s still finding new fans 25 years later. In this episode, we’re on a mission to find out how "Gilmore Girls" found its audience, while staying true to itself – from its "Gilmore speed” delivery, its pop culture-packed references, and its complicated female characters. Hear why it resonates from actor Keiko Agena, who played Lane Kim on the show, and fan and "Ginny & Georgia" creator Sarah Lampert.
