  • A true delight

    This is just such a lovely podcast! I love learning so many new things about the books I have loved for so long. I’m only on Farmer Boy right now, and I’m hoping as the podcast goes along she talks more about the storyline, and not just the songs and vocabulary. But, ya know, even if that never happens, I still love!

  • Wonderful podcast for LIW fans!

    I love this podcast which dissects each chapter of each book. Being Australian it adds an extra layer explaining some of the ‘Americanisms’ from the time the books were both set and written. Thank you for such a great podcast and the work that goes into it.

  • Love the historical details!

    I recently discovered your podcast (mentioned in the magazine for the 50th anniversary of the LHOP TV show). I started listening from the beginning and have completed the 1st two books. I love all the historical details that you have explored, such as foods and tools. Also enjoying the info about words that I only knew from the context. Great podcast for fans of LIW books!!

  • I just discovered your wonderful podcast!

    I just discovered your wonderful Little House podcast and I’m really enjoying listening to all the episodes. I like how you go through each chapter of the books and when you give us some well informed information and tidbits about Little House. It gives us a glimpse into what life was like for Laura and her family.
