Kate Vlasek and Lauryn Hunter are two women in their mid-thirties who generally geek out about all things pop culture, particularly nostalgic pop culture. A spur-of-the-moment purchase of a random assortment of Baby-Sitters Club books on eBay sparked the excitement that would become Generation BSC. And what is Generation BSC? First, it’s a micro-generation Kate and Lauryn have identified with between Generation X and Millennials. This micro-generation has also been called the Oregon Trail Generation, Generation Catalano, the Star Wars Generation, Xennials, and Elder Millennials - essentially, for our purposes, those born between 1980 and 1985 who would have read Baby-Sitters Club books as they were being released in the late 80s and early 90s. (As an aside, we've come to realize since starting our journey with the Baby-Sitters Club, however, that Generation BSC really is anyone who has grown or is growing up with the BSC, but we're examining it from our perspective in particular.) Second, it’s a biweekly episodic podcast where Kate and Lauryn revisit each book in the Baby-Sitters Club series both looking back at how they approached the topics and themes when they read the books as children and comparing that with how they approach the same topics and themes in 2019 (and beyond). Eventually, the podcast will include guests and “Very Special Episodes” where Kate and Lauryn visit other pop culture from the same era and later, using the Baby-Sitters Club and Generation BSC as a jumping off point for discussion. Whether you’ve loved the Baby-Sitters Club since childhood or are jumping in for the first time, you’ll have a great time reading along with Kate and Lauryn.

Episode 051: Stacey's Ex-Best Friend!
<p>Stacey is dealing with the realization that she and Laine have grown apart and what that means for their friendship after Laine comes to visit Stoneybrook. It's a difficult situation all around and our girls (including Laine) could've handled it better. And it all ends with a pretty brutal letter from Stacey to Laine, essentially calling it quits on their friendship and including her half of their best friends necklace. But hey, at least it's also Valentine's Day and Friday the 13th and there are a whole bunch of crushes going around! This includes a dance and a BSC-hosted event for all their babysitting charges.</p> <p>Follow us!<br> Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc<br> <br> Contact us!<br> E-mail: <a href="mailto:generationbsc@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">generationbsc@gmail.com</a><br> <br> Generation BSC logo created by Jordyn Hunter.</p>

Episode 050: Dawn's Big Date!
Dawn's focused on Logan's cousin Lewis coming to visit because she needs to get a boyfriend (out of nowhere), but despite Lewis seemingly knowing and liking the real Dawn, she decides to change everything about herself, only to realize by the end of the book that she should just be herself. And in the B-plot this book, we have a huge content warning, as it deals with a new boy babysitting charge who is overweight and dealing with bullying and a terrible home situation. We discuss weight stigma, disordered eating, and our own personal experiences with both, so if these issues are difficult for you, you may want to skip this episode and join us again in two weeks.
