Podcast Overview

Danii and Joy grew up loving the Baby-Sitters Club series by Ann M. Martin. Now, as queer, literature-loving twenty-somethings and once college roommates they're diving into the books, tv shows, and films to see why they meant so much to them and so many other young girls. Exploring the Baby-Sitters Club universe through a critical gender/race/sexuality/class/etc analysis may seem like an unusual move...but they're hoping, like Kristy Thomas, that this was a Great Idea. https://linktr.ee/greatideapodcast

EIGHT (Part II): Young, Mean, and Gay with Charlotte Abotsi (Netflix - Ep 4)

Back again with special guest Charlotte Abotsi for part two of our discussion of Netflix's portrayal of the super smart Mary Anne Spier who should be acknowledged more for how good she is at the premise of the show, baby-sitting. We get into a lot of astrology, the power of trans youth, white women who call themselves witches, girls of color supporting each other, and how this show really is...dare we say...progressive! Find more of Charlotte at <a href="http://charlotteabotsi.com/" target="_blank">charlotteabotsi.com</a>. [This is part two of a two-part episode.]
