Are You There, God? It's Me, Podcast.

Y'all, episode 17 is SO GOOD. We have a third person joining us for the first time on the pod, and we're doing Bunnicula, so it's going to be on for the ages. Unfortunately, it's taking us a little bit more time than usual to polish, so can we suggest? Our Episode 5, on Christopher Pike? It's called Remember Me? Spooky in only the way that a 1980s teen novel can be.

See you tomorrow with Bunnicula.

Whelp, we've found it. The book that encapsulates just about everything that was really rough about the 1980s, from fat-shaming, to absentee (yet still living in the house) fathers, to hitchhikings gone horribly wrong. It's Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade (1981), and let's face it - in the world we enter in this book, the unfairness clearly extends beyond just one year of elementary school. Trigger warnings for people who have struggled with body image, disordered eating, and bullying.

Come for the afterschool special that is meant for kids MUCH older than you, stay for the light "Billions" spoilers and discussions of Matt vs. Ben. If you didn't see "The Voyage of the Mimi" when you were a kid, you missed out on GREATNESS.

Next time: our spooky season arrives withWait Till Helen Comes (1986), by Mary Downing Hahn.

Welcome to Episode 13, where we track down an out-of-print book from Moira's childhood... and then figure out WHY it's gone out-of-print. With Fifth Grade Secrets (1985), by Janet Adele Bloss, we introduce the implausibility scale (this one's a factor 10) and then discuss how easy it is for our protagonist to basically start a cult through..... health food?

Other topics for discussion: CleanTok and the confession of our own embarrassing fifth grade secrets. Come join us!

TW: While this book steers clear of body image and weight issues, there is a lot (A LOT) of stuff about food. If you have struggled with disordered eating, you may wish to skip this one.

In two weeks: SIXTH Grade Secrets, by Louis Sachar. See you then!
