On this hostful episode, Emily, Lauren, and Dave take a walk down memory lane and share their favorite books, movies, games, and treats from their childhoods. They also discuss the poetry of Andrea Gibson, book-logging apps, and being territorial about little treats. In the Last Chapter they swap childhood memories of going to the library.
