Pod Crashing Episode 261 Glynnis MacNicol From Wilder Jack Kerouac but make it a girl with braids. Carrie Bradshaw, but without the sex, and also braids. An American Icon. An American Odyssey. American propaganda. Violently so, in some cases. Laura Ingalls Wilder is evergreen. For better or worse. Since the first Little House book was published in 1932, generations of readers have flocked to Laura's cozy stories of the Ingalls family settling the Western frontier. The series inspired a TV show, pageants, and entire fashion lines. Behind this franchise is a woman who experienced almost a full century of American history. She'd made her first trips in a covered wagon, and eventually flew on a jet plane. Laura Ingalls Wilder's life and legacy remain as powerful, mesmerizing, controversial, and violent as the America she represents.

Pod Crashing Episode 260 Josie Duffy Rice From Unreformed School of Humans and iHeartPodcasts present "Unreformed: The Story of the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children." In 1968, five Black girls escaped from the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children, a so-called "reform school" outside of Montgomery, Alabama. These girls were not the first children to run away from the institution, which everyone called Mt. Meigs. Children tried to escape all the time, desperate to get away from a place described by many as a child's prison. But this time was different. This time, a girl named Mary Stephens chose to tell someone her story. It was a decision that would change everything. "Unreformed: The Story of the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children," hosted by Josie Duffy Rice, is an investigative podcast chronicling the history of Mt. Meigs, an institution that began as a safe haven for black youth before mutating into a "modern-day slave plantation" rife with torture and abuse. It tells the story of the man who decided to blow the whistle on the corruption and brutality that flourished at Mt. Meigs, and the repercussions he suffered as a result. And it traces the histories of the now-adults who were trapped there as children in the 1960s.
