Moonanas For Moonanza! Novelist, memoirist, actress, comedian and tea merchant Moon Unit Zappa joins Dalton and Mutt to discuss Season 2, Episode 30, 'The Thunderhead Swindle’. Moon might have been disappointed with this episode of Bonanza, but you won't be! It's mostly about mining boundary lines, but also features Ben Cartwright taking the law into his own hands and some really irresponsible use of explosives! They also discuss Moon's perfectly normal upbringing and her brand new memoir, "Earth to Moon"!
