  • #5: The Giver

    Lois Lowry's The Giver is one kick-ass piece of uptopian/dystopia fiction, but no one ever assigned it to Jess and Lauren. Weird. Join our hosts as they discuss the pros and cons of living in a kinda-cult, why you shouldn't release babies into the wild, and the injustice of not being able to name one's own (Cabbage Patch) child.

  • #3: To Kill a Mockingbird

    To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee might just be a perfect book, but that doesn't mean Lauren and Jessica don't have opinions about it! This week, we talk about our favorite/least favorite citizens of Maycomb, discuss the origins of the phrase "Hey Boo," and turn our noses up at ill-conceived sequels. ----more----

  • #2: The Lottery

    Shirley Jackson's The Lottery is one of the most famous (and messed up) short stories of all time, so it seemed like a perfect way for Lauren and Jessica to kick off the new year of their new podcast. Grab a copy of the book and join your hosts to talk weird wedding themes, stone-throwing strategy and the great state of Vermont.

    With a special guest story from former soc Zachary M. Andrews!----more----

  • #1: The Outsiders

    Lauren had to read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton in the 8th grade, Jessica never read it at all. How does the ultimate YA classic hold up after all these years? Spoiler: it stayed gold, Ponyboy.
