"Here's To You, Rachel Robinson," chapters 3-4. In this 1993 sequel to Judy Blume's "Just as Long as We're Together," Rachel practices for the seed spitting championship, broods over Charles' antics, and runs away from Steph and Alison's constant questioning. Matthew scores a womb goal. Jody and Al work up theories about mom and Dr. Sparks, do dramatic readings, and listen to some nostalgic commercials of the era. It's a Judy Blume book club.

“Here’s To You, Rachel Robinson,” chapters 1-2. Jody and Al get back to their Judy roots with this 1993 follow-up to “Just as Long as We’re Together.” They talk about the world events, movies, music, and TV that shaped Rachel, Steph, and Alison’s lives. Think: Beanie Babies, Jurassic Park and Norwegian Black Metal murders. Meanwhile in Palfrey's Pond, Rachel writes her very Wes Anderson-eqsue bio, worries about Charles, and sees sister Jessica off to prom in a stolen dress. Tune in for nostalgia, laughs, and ‘90s jams you hadn’t thought about in years. It’s a Judy Blume book club. Join us every week!

Part TWO of our Alice Odds and Ends extravaganza! Alison and Jody discuss Rick Emerson's "Unmask Alice," which sheds so much light on the warped world of Beatrice Sparks, her motivation for writing Alice, Jay's Journal, and so many other faux diaries.

Then the gals recap and critique the surprisingly decent 1973 "Go Ask Alice" made-for-TV film featuring William Shatner, Andy Griffith, and Mackenzie Phillips. And with that, we are DONE with Alice, folks! We'll be announcing our next Judy Blume book soon, so stay tuned!
