    Episode 50 - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

    Alice's dress has become as iconic as Cinderella's and the Disney adaptation of the book has been hijacked by Pink Floyd. But do you know Lewis Carroll is a pseudonym for an Oxford professor with a (suspected) DARK secret? Join Jaida and Ryan as they explore cynical (and educational) reviews of this 150-year-old classic.

    For copyrighted materials: copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years.
    Have you ever hear the word corpuscular before? No? Jaida hadn't either. It refers to a corpuscle (a minute or elementary particle of matter, such as an electron, proton, or atom)
    MADELINE! If you don't know what this means, you'll *have* to listen.

    Episode 47 - Mixed Bag with the Fam

    Episode 47 - Mixed Bag with the Fam

    Do you love hearing scathing book reviews?

    Yes? Then, listen on!

    No? You listen on as well!

    This episode of Bad Reviews for Good Books is one-of-a-kind and will probably never be done again. The Hancocks tried to record an episode will the whole family (yes, that's right-- all seven of them!). Unfortunately, things got difficult due to many factors. The sound quality on this episode is subpar, to say the least. SO, if you have a problem with terrible audio, this one might not be for you.
