Episode 230: Little House in the Big Woods


Listen Later

Join Alli and her guest Jo Piazza for a journey back to the Little House in the Big Woods and for a conversation about all things Laura Ingalls! Their discussion centers around the first book in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved series, in which very little happens… but that might just be the point. They consider that possibility, along with the depiction of parenting, corporal punishment, prayer, and special occasions in the book. There’s also a conversation about the larger significance of the Little House series and what we can do with its complicated legacy.

Jo Piazza is the bestselling author of many books, including We Are Not Like Them, Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, How to Be Married, The Knockoff, and the forthcoming You Were Always Mine. You might also recognize her from the podcast space from shows like Under the Influence and Committed. Follow Jo on Instagram (@jopiazzaauthor) and Twitter (@jopiazza).
