  • So nostalgic

    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!

  • A fun-formational retrospective

    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.
