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 the days of mallomars and jungle cafe is the cherry on top. If this podcast were a person she’d wear Claire’s earrings and smell of bath and body while sporting scrunchies and jellies with frilly socks. Luv U 4Ever .. BFFS 4 LYFE

I was obsessed with the BSC. Still have all my books. This podcast makes me laugh out loud and feel like I’m hanging out with some friends!

I’m obsessed with it now

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 love this podcast!! Long-time listener, first-time reviewer. Esme, Anne & Emily are wonderful hosts who complement each other with their different perspectives. I love the blend of psychology, feminist and critical theory, pop culture, and more. You feel like you’re hanging out with three of your friends, chatting about The Babysitter’s Cub, having fun, and learning some new. A must listen!

I will listen to every episode they do through the end of the series. BSC forever!

I love listening to how they breakdown my favorite childhood series. Their different perspectives and analyses are so interesting and bring a whole new layer of enjoyment to the Babysitters Club!

I always laugh and I always learn a lot! As a grown woman who loves the BSC, I so appreciate this podcast; it adds a layer of thoughtful analysis to my experience rereading the series. Each host has a unique perspective, and they have fantastic chemistry together! Listening feels like hanging out with friends.
