Hey listeners! That time of the year is here when the days are long and our days are busier than we thought they would be! School is returning, and Esme is off taking her eldest kid to college (IN NEW ENGLAND!!!). To celebrate the 40th anniversary of... more
What should this book be called? Why are they all giving up? And are competing commitments just a natural part of growing up? Emily also dives into whether the BSC is truly a monopoly, we get bogged down in how sad this book is and then, don’t worry,... more
EMERGENCY MEETING!!! Stoneybrookers, this is NOT a drill! The first new BSC book in 16 years (and only the second in 26 years!) is here and it is a DARN DELIGHT. This episode is packed with spoilers, so read the book first and then give it a listen, ... more
Stacey and Robert call it quits and Esme has a lot to say! How do we rate Mr. McGill’s interventions? How hot is Ethan? Was Abby predicting the rise of neoliberalism or attempting to stage a coup… or both? Most importantly, what would we order Joe Al... more

Love that in addition to being true BSC fans, they also do their research. The interview episodes are the BEST. All those behind the scenes facts from ghostwriters are fascinating to me. Quips about the things we thought about BSC growing up while also playing homage to the series that made us readers.
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!

Episodes blend childhood nostalgia with rigorous critique, exploring representation, power dynamics, and social context across books, spin-offs, and fan-editions. The show stands out for its thoughtful interdisciplinary approach, witty banter, and ability to translate early-90s fiction into contemporary discussions about feminism, race, class, and youth development.
