Peaches has her baby, Lynn, and CLAUDIA IS OBSESSED. Esme didn’t really do any research because she was too busy reminiscing about when Emily was born. Emily talks a lot about gender (who could predict?) and Anne…

And I have diabetes just like Stacey and I want you to understand just how hard it is for us(my mom and sisters also have diabetes
I really do love this podcast, it’s nostalgic and so smart! I love the psychology insight, feminism insight and pop culture tidbits. My ONE piece of advice is for Anne and Emily to PLEASE LISTEN TO ESME when she talks about jokes getting old. The “are you crying” and jokes about 69 just irritate me so much and they keep happening! Maybe it’s because I’m listening in order to the back catalogue that it bugs me so much, I don’t know! I really, truly do love it though!
I love how smart the hosts are and their friendship dynamic! I always learn tons of new things. The podcast is also hilarious and highly bingeable
Never listened to an episode that didn’t make me belly laugh. Appreciate the cultural context and the cultural commentary. Pizza toast to this podcast.
I grew up obsessed with these books and started collecting them as an adult. It’s a lot of fun banter but it’s also extremely interesting to hear these women’s personal and professional analysis of these stories and look at the books and characters through different lenses.
