Episode 55: The Secrets of Isis - "Year of the Dragon"

The Shazam Isis Podcast

Isis "Year of the Dragon" October 9, 1976

​A Chinese teen wins a prize for a competition at school and tries to avoid having her father show up for the awards ceremony. She goes to such lengths to avoid it that she places herself and her father in danger.

John and Richard are back in the RV and making their final stops along the highways and byways of the land exploring those two Saturday morning series of the 70s we loved as kids - Shazam! and the Secrets of Isis. We continue with an Isis episode, "Year of the Dragon". In it, the two discuss how 1976 was the Year of the Dragon, the Chinese stereotypes, and are confused by what the character of Julie has to be ashamed of in her father when he seems really cool.

​It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as [e-mail].
