Strange Bedfellows

Deep inside Stoneybrook Middle School is a waypoint, a marker in time from which a thousand timelines diverge, like ripples in a stream. It's where the dance is: The still point of the turning world. The dance in this case is the Halloween Hop, and the ripple in time that we're focused on this week is a ripple in which someone sent Kristy fingernail clippings in the mail, which I guess is what amounts to romance these days. Anyway, Kristy has a mystery admirer, and it's creepier than that sounds.

Tanner checks in with Jack all the way from Paris to talk about Dawn's latest escapade with a gross older man named Travis. It's a Dawn book, so there are some inevitable religious undertones to deal with, but the main issue is the creepiness of Dawn and Travis's relationship, a topic that is treated with all the gravity that Tanner's atrocious French accent can muster.

Are all of us simply “the sat,” whose collective will is bent and shaped by the whims of some grand, cosmic Sitter, or do we shape our own destinies? Do we exist in some liminal state between the two, all of us both Sitter and Sat? Perhaps each of us is just living out a different manifestation of one of Jackie Rodowsky’s multitudinous lives? Find out the answers to all these questions on this week’s Baby-Sitter’s Club Club.

Happy Halloween, Baby Nation! Have we got a thematically appropriate episode for you this week! With the help of the Baby-Sitter's Club, Stacey discovers that Stoneybrook is build on an ancient burial ground, which is somehow the LEAST strange thing to happen in this book. Oh! Also, you all have a tough decision to make this week, Baby Nation: BURN or BEES.

What should have been a nice, relaxing vacation to Sea City, New Jersey, turns into a catastrophe due to an unwieldy number of boys gumming up the works. Stacey gets straight-up dumped by local "nice guy" Toby (no known last name), Jackie Rodowsky faces his most desperate mission yet, and Mary Anne cries her way through another low-level crisis. Known boys, Tanner Greenring and Jack Shepherd, try their very best to unpack it all for you in BSCC #35, Mary Anne and Too Many Boys.

“There are other worlds than these. That we are drawn there again and again has to do with the rose. I have no doubt of that, nor do I doubt that in some way I do not understand the rose is the Dark Tower.” - The Dark Tower: Wolves of the Calla This week Jack and Tanner talk about their favorite memes, a startling new artificial intelligence in Stoneybrook, the glaring, blood-colored field of roses still far from here, and the frightening rate at which the Mimi virus self-replicates and finds new human hosts to infect.

Stoneybrook is resplendent with colorful new characters, including Susan, who secretly struggles to find meaning in a world that makes no sense. This week, Jack and Tanner return to some old favorites when they discuss the bees we find in every corner of our lives, what Australians eat for brekky, and the horrifying, ongoing significance of June 10th.   

Make sure to catch Jack and Tanner's guest appearances on the Real Weird Sisters podcast as well, where they sort the citizens of Stoneybrook into Hogwarts houses.

And it came to pass that Dawn and Mary Anne didn't enjoy sharing a bedroom as much as they thought they would. And Dawn in her righteousness did take the socks of Mr. Spier and pair them in such a way that they might be odd. And Jack and Tanner did look upon what Dawn had wrought, and they did pronounce it the sickest of burns. Also, things get kind of spooky, so maybe listen to this one with the lights on. Why the hell were you listening in the dark anyway?

To quote the Spice Girls, "Come a little bit closer baby, get it on, get it on. 'Cause tonight is the night when two become one." That's right, he went to her. And Jack and Tanner went to one another this week to discuss "Mary Anne and the Great Romance." Tons going on in Stoneybrook this week including twins continuing to be terrible, something used, something borrowed, something blue, and the wedding we've been waiting 25 books for.

Listen to two ghostly voices, trapped in amber, echoing out from the murky abyss that is the Baby-Sitters Club Club podcast. This week Mallory finds a diary, talks to a ghost, and teaches a young boy to read. Also this week, Jack and Tanner become U.S. citizens, burn their faces off, and confront Princeton’s own Ann M. Martin about her whereabouts on the evening of June 10, 1958.
