Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast

Hey there Everyone! Angela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. We learn a valuable lesson when I cover S2E10: Rick the Greek which aired on January 7, 1984.

But when he ends up indebted to a bookie, he steals a rare coin from his father's collection. Just knowing that Derek knew when to talk away from a bad bet and Ricky didn't listen.
