“I grew up obsessed with these books and started collecting them as an adult. It’s a lot of fun banter but it’s also extremely interesting to hear these women’s personal and professional analysis of these stories and look at the books and characters through different lenses.”

“The banter is so fun AND I learn something every time. I never read past book 30 or so, but it doesn’t matter. Still love listening when a new episode drops. (Full disclosure that these are dear old friends - BUT, if it weren’t great, I wouldn’t still be listening!!!!)”

“Pizza toast to this pod squad. A perfect blend of nostalgia with an astrix via the contemporary lens. The trio does an amaze job at breaking down the problematic elements, provide a historical context, and loving and lol-worthy celebration of our shared youth. A dash of candy and junk food from...”Read full review »

“I’m thrilled to find a platform all things BSC because I can’t find anyone else in their 40s still stuck in the BSCverse. Love that this isn’t just a book by book recap but a deep dive into what’s realistic, what’s not, and the psychology of the books and characters. Keep up the good work!!!”

“I love this show! The chemistry between Esme, Anne, and Emily is wonderful and I love the takes they bring to the BSC books. I came for the critical theory and stayed for the pop culture and junk food analysis. Fantastic!”

“I enjoy listening to the discussions of these old books that I loved as a kid. The hosts read and loved the books as kids and now are re-reading them through adult eyes.
They don’t go into exhaustive detail about each book, instead they focus on the most interesting or troubling aspects. They...”Read full review »

“I love looking back at these books and to have a podcast is pretty sweet. I agree with their point of views and the interviews with the actresses is awesome! The books from an adult point of view is eye opening.
