Your first crush explained Whether it was Chachi, David Cassidy, Kristy McNichol or even Willy Wonka (no lie), we think the Gen X era was the golden era of crushes. And in this episode, we’ll examine that almost universal experience of falling in love with the people on our TVs, turntables and radios in a discussion with an actual Crushologist; Dr. Rebecca Tukachinsky Forster, Associate Professor in the School of Communication Studies at Chapman University studies the art and science of your first celebrity crush. And she's in the house for YOUR CRUSH STORIES! Our listeners called in and shared their first crush stories with us -- from David Cassidy beach towels to toilet paper wedding veils. Did you ever have a little case of crushitis? Don't worry, the doctor is in!
