I loved the Babysitters Club as I was growing up, Claudia meant so much to me even though I was never amazing enough to be like her! I am a new listener so I’m catching up on the amazing back catalogue of this show, which feels like I’m hanging out with some wise and funny friends who are a lot more accomplished and cool than I am and processing our childhoods (candy, crushes, pop culture and more) together.
As someone who doesn’t really “do” podcasts, this is one I can’t miss! Every episode feels like being included at the lunch table, listening to my much smarter and more witty friends discuss my very special interest! Each episode is both intentional and hilariously tangential. I’m sure the cars around me get a kick out of me cackling in traffic!
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
