Blergnation is a 30 Rock fan podcast by Katie Chase and Jen Zug.
Each week we’ll take on one episode at a time, in order, starting from the beginning. Your homework is to watch that week's episode before listening to the podcast!
This means that even if you’ve never seen the show, you can still watch it along with us, and we won’t ruin anything for you. No spoilers!
And if you've seen every episode a gazillion times, we promise to go beyond the basic recap of quotable lines and funny moments to deeper topics relating to longings, life, and workplace drama.
Even though 30 Rock premiered 10 years ago, Liz Lemon's struggles are still very real today -- we can learn many things from our favorite tv characters!
