Shaun Squad Society
The Shaun Squad Society Podcast is a podcast written, produced and hosted by three women who want to keep the Magic of a Midnight Sky alive!
Cindy, Dorese and Dame became friends at a Shaun Cassidy concert and immediately decided to form "The Shaun Squad." Soon after, the Shaun Squad Society Podcast was conceived to discuss and reminisce about all-things Shaun Cassidy, from his first years as a teen idol to his current career as a writer and producer.
This podcast brings together a community of Shaun's devoted fans, the ones who played his albums non-stop, and who tuned into The Hardy Boys Mysteries every Sunday evening. And now, 46 years later, Shaun's story-telling tour has delighted fans again. So, join us for the stories, fun-facts, and fascinating interviews as we take you down memory lane with our Teen Dream, Shaun Cassidy.

We share personal anecdotes and insights into the choices that shaped her career and the enduring impact she made on stage and screen.
This episode isn't just a look back at Shirley's illustrious past; it's a deep appreciation for the classics that defined an era.

We peek behind the curtains of musical movie magic, discussing the making of "Oklahoma!" and the trials and triumphs of its production. With each note of "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," we're reminded of the timeless quality of Shirley's performances and the iconic roles that have stood the test of time, from the wholesomeness of Marian the Librarian in "The Music Man" to the dramatic depths she explored in "Elmer Gantry."
We wrap up Part 1 by turning the spotlight on Shirley's early career.
