Are You There, Pod?

It's Jessica's belated birthday, fam! And even though it's no longer Taurus season, we are tapping back into that energy for a special book named for Jess's astrological sign. Did you know they did a whole astrology YA series in the 80s, each based around one of the star signs? Me neither, but join us for the wackiness that is Taurus Trouble (The Zodiac Club #3) by Lynn J. Nichols.

Next time we're doing Judy Blume's very horny grown-up novel Wifey with a very special guest. Join us!

We're back in the studio, fam! Well, all of us except Josh, that is. Jessica, Blake, and three-peating guest Crystal got together at AUX Headquarters for a fully vaccinated spit sesh. Josh skyped in, but he sounds pretty good!

This episode we read Lila Pearl's book about a girl who fancies herself a Horror Queen for some reason, and her much cooler friend. It's Halloween in May! Sort of...

Next time join us for some astrological (if belated) fun with Taurus Trouble by Lynn J. Nichols!

It's prom season, fam! We did another Point horror book and this time it's about a garment that is so very cursed: Prom Dress by Lael Littke. Of course, we needed help from an expert on YA fits, so we had Katie Lilly AKA The Haunted Outfit on the show! It was great and we had a lot of fun talking about prom memories and this wacky book. You should listen--it's a dress to die for!

Next episode, join us for Marleen the Horror Queen by Lila Perl. Will we have a special guest again?

...maybe!

Check out Katie's awesome YA-inspired art: @thehauntedoutfit on instagram.

Fam, ya better slap on some sunscreen and grab your Wayfarers, because this ep we’re heading to California! We read Starstruck by Richie Tankersley Cusick so you will never have to (you’re welcome). Digressions include: Judy Tenuta, Emo Phillips, Pretty Woman, and creepy Hollywood hunks. And lots of Howie Mandel, for some reason.

Next episode, join us for Prom Dress by Lael Littke. Katie from our fave Insta @The Haunted Outfit will be joining us, so expect lots of fashion! And follow her account!

You're all honorary riot grrls, fam! Put on some Bikini Kill, break out the pins and patches, and don't forget the feminism, because for this episode we read Jennifer Mathieu's 2017 novel Moxie -- AND we watched the new hit Netflix movie adaptation. We do plenty of comparing and contrasting in this, our most contemporary episode ever! We liked one piece of media more than the other...find out which one within this episode!

Next episode, join us for Starstruck by YA horrormaster Richie Tankersley Cusick.

It's our first short story collection ever, fam! Put on your Bush tapes and break out the Delia's, because it's 1996 in the world of Girl Goddess #9 by Francesca Lia Block. Jess and Josh discuss the finer points of zine culture, cool California teens (like actually cool, not Sweet Valley cool), and getting dressed for the Rock Show in this, an episode unlike any other. This time, the book might actually be...good?? The issues might be relevant to the real, modern world?! It's strange new territory for us, folks.

Next episode, join us for Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu (now a Netflix movie!).

It's our most rockin' episode ever, fam! But we can't discuss Francess Lin Lantz's Good Rockin' Tonight without a real-life rock and roll musician, so Josh Head (of the More Of That Presents: Discographology podcast) joins us. We all get punk rock name changes, ponder 1980s teens with no musical knowledge beyond 1969, and our guest even performs a surprise original(ish) song.

Also, let's see if this helps our SEO: Elvis Presley, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, The Beatles, Carl Perkins, Johnny Rotten.

Next episode, join us for Girl Goddess #9 by Francesca Lia Block.

Song interpretation by Josh Head.

It's Valentine's Day, fam! And you know what that means--another Fear Street SUPER CHILLER from our man R.L. Stine! This author can't stop killing teenage girls on holidays, and we can't stop reading him. Grab a box of chocolates. Curl up with a loved one, a pet, or just some earbuds...and prepare to be creeped the F out!

Next episode, join us for GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT by Francess Lin Lantz. Real life rock musician (and Blake's bandmate from the Discographology podcast) Josh Head joins us.

Producer Blake here. Jess and Josh told me to warn you about the following episode. It's extra rowdy, extra raunchy, and often extra FUNNY. VC Andrews is back, baby, and this time it's personal with My Sweet Audrina. A special guest, Hannah, joins us all the way from South Korea. But no matter where you are on the globe, this book is twisted, folks.

We also discuss the Lifetime movie adaptation of this book which was...something else. You don't wanna miss this episode, folks. It's been a long time coming but we did it. Well, some of us did it. Others of us are cancelled :)

Next episode, just in time for Valentine's Day, we’ll be discussing Fear Street Super Chiller: Broken Hearts by RL Stine!
