Welcome to KOTHcast, the only King of the Hill podcast that matters.
About a year ago, Allena, Andy, and I started this podcast project. The goal was to recap every episode of King of the Hill from our enthusiastically weird and lefty point of view. We love King of the Hill not only for all it’s subversive commentary on American politics, capitalism, patriotism, and all other manner of social expressions, but what it has to say about friends, family, character, civic duty, and dog ownership. The idea was that as world continued to burn, we’d turn to the Hill family for comfort and laughs.
We rewatched, outlined, and recorded episodes faster than I could edit them. We paused until I could catch up, and life kept getting in the way, as it often does. But before losing all momentum, we finished “Peggy’s Headache,” episode three from season three, where Peggy learns about Nancy and John Redcorn’s affair and that she is the last to find out.
I love a Peggy episode, this one being no exception. One of the driving forces behind starting this project was Allena’s unyielding desire to give Peggy Hill her due in King of the Hill discourse, where far too many fail to see how her flaws make her such a compelling, funny, and loving character. I’m so glad we started with this episode and glad we get to share it with you. Let us know what you think!
