AG has meant a lot to me, and this podcast has, too
If you grew up with the American Girl franchise, I cannot recommend this podcast enough. I completely love the hosts' interpersonal dynamic--they are humorous, intelligent, and entertaining to listen to. I feel like I've found a community of friends I didn't know I was missing. As someone who credits American Girl with sparking my love of history and historical material culture, but who also finds critical interpretation of the past to be valuable, I was struck by this quote from the fifth episode: "We're taking a critical lens of these books, but... we respect the fact that [American Girl] got us on a path where we could look at the books this way." I think this sums up the show nicely: there is so much love for this franchise and everything it meant to all of us, and yet the podcast takes it seriously enough to apply healthy critique when warranted. I cannot wait to hear the hosts dive into the rest of the books (with apropos asides on cults, true crime, '90s pop culture, British monarchy, astrology, historical sites, museums, current events, and more)! Allison and Mary, please be my friend!Read full review »

Words can’t explain how perfect this podcast is. Words also cannot do justice for how popular it is within the nichest sub niche that ever existed: Mid 90’s OG AG fans. I am so ready for the Molly deep dive.

This podcast was the best discovery ever. I love what Allison and Mary are doing, blending history with pop history and pop culture, all while being hilarious. Can’t wait to listen to more episodes!

This podcast is a wittier, more intelligent, My Favorite Murder —no shade to MFM or G&K, they are awesome— with American Girls instead of Murder (minus Tía Dolores.)
