Mixed Review
This podcast had me until episode 7. I found the first 6 episodes exactly what I expected. Then came episode 7. Where Laura Ingalls Wilder's character was torn apart by comparing 2023 standards to those of the mid 1800, or 1935. She's not even here to defend herself, and that is completely unfair. I highly doubt 3 year old Laura actually wanted to "own an Indian baby." She was 3!! You act like she had the rationale of a 13 year old. Come on...I'm not saying her line of thinking was right, but given the chance to know better we do better, and unfortunately Laura didn't live long enough to know better, yet you want to crucify her for it. Loved the podcast episodes 1-6....7-and on I have such a bad taste in my mouth I'm finding it hard to come back and listen.Read full review »

I’ve read so much on Laura, but carry conflict and confusion in some of my feelings towards her, her writings, and of course Rose. This podcast is like therapy. I appreciate the way you are all handling this precious...Read full review »
