1h 1m · Are You There, God? It's Me, Podcast. · 17 Jan 23:00

Guys, we missed you SO MUCH. In fact, we are so excited to be talking with you (and each other) again that we took an inordinate number of Culture Breaks while we were recording. Topics for discussion: The Amazing Kreskin, Derry Girls, Ted Lasso, the merits of the Cricut vs other worthy hobbies, and the Beatles documentary.

But don't worry! We still talk about Judy Blume's epic sequel to Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing,Superfudge (1980), where evil Fudge Hatcher learns that words can hurt just as much as physical destruction. See: Ratface.

We have been so excited to share this book with you for so long. It's Maudie and Me and the Dirty Book (1980), written by an amazing author named Betty Miles. It touches on SO MANY of the issues that we are facing still, 40 years later, when it comes to children's literature. We hope you will enjoy our discussion and let us know your thoughts ([email protected]).

Other talking points: Below Deck (the OG for now, but Erin is catching up on spin-offs), first grade classroom management, and (of course) actual dirty books. Come join us!

24: Girl, You'll Be A... oh, wait, this is gross. (Natalie Babbitt's Tuck Everlasting)

Holy, cow! We're back! Can you believe it? We've missed you SO MUCH. Don't ask, it was rough.

Here's our latest, a discussion of Tuck Everlasting (1975), written by Natalie Babbitt. You guys think this one's going to be cute because Rory Gilmore was in the movie version... but it's not. We make up for it with a 3.5 minute recap of the entire "Twilight" saga you never knew you needed. We also touch on the topic of old and young (and immortal) horses of all sizes.

Our next episode will be about Maudie and Me and the Dirty Book (1980), a beautiful, fantastic (yet out of print) book by Betty Miles that might just make you wanna get up and vote in an election some time in the near future. Ahem.

See you soon!
