Are You There, Pod?

Surprise! Sorry about the delay, horse girls. Here's an episode from behind our paywall to tide you over. In these Patreon bonus episodes, we talk about teen movies! Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is a classic and one of Jessica's favorites. In this one, we're also joined by our good pal Adam from Shelf Life and Scrambled Transmissions. Wanna support us?

It's auto-bio time again, fam. But unlike with Alice and Jay, this seems to be based on actual events. Little Girl Lost was written by a 14 (!) year old Drew Barrymore (with Todd Gold). From a shockingly young age, she got up to some STUFF. Beloved special guest host Katie Lilly (aka the haunted outfit) fills in for Josh, and offers great insight into Drew's party era, as well as her current role as TikTok Mom! Wanna support us?

The YA book: Credit-Card Carole by Sheila Solomon Klass The target: global capitalism We take it all down on this episode, fam. Wave goodbye to your misogynist credit score! You won't need legal tender in the Mad Max world we're about to enter--just a pair of earbuds and a podcast. --- Wanna support us?

Enjoy this clip of our discussion of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991)! We were joined by special guest Adam T. of AUX podcast fame. To hear the rest of this bonus episode and 12 others, please join our Patreon!

It's our shortest title ever, fam. This one is special because we both read the book AND watched the movie (Blake just watched the movie)! Girl by Blake Nelson is a coming-of-age tale that brings out the grunge scenester still living in all of us. But we're definitely NOT groupies, despite what the film version might tell you. Or are we? Honestly I don't know, they just make me write these show notes. Here's a spoiler though since it happens so seldom: Josh n' Jess like this book!! Wanna support us?

Jess invites fellow Mormon Harvey Day to discuss Summergreen by Janet Cox, and the results are riveting! This one's chock full of childhood memories of the LDS Church, with its eccentric quirks and rituals. Josh and Blake--good Protestant boys--listen aghast. With all the stories, will there be time to talk about this Mormon-flavored light YA romance book? Listen and find out! Harvey also does an excellent podcast about Ozarks happenings (and global politics) called Hoot 'n' Holler. Wanna support us?

Welcome to 2022, fam! We're kicking it off with our favorite time of year: Capricorn season. This time we delve into the twisted world of The Zodiac Club once again to read and discuss Capricorn & Co. by Margie Palatini. Josh is our resident Cap, but we doubled the trouble by inviting guest favorite (and Capricorn) Crystal Lane back on the show! This one's about throwing the whole man out, dumping the chump, and giving a crummy BF the big kiss-off. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser. But will Blake's sign(s) ever be covered on this air? Apparently no, that's not going to happen. And did you know Capricorn is a goat with a mermaid's tail? What the the hell? Wanna support us?

It's the time of holiday horror, fam! Veteran guest and beloved friend Katie Lilly (@thehauntedoutfit) of the new Super Chillers podcast joins us with her expertise. Together, we once again open up RL Stine's twisted gift bag of sick pranks with his Fear Street book Silent Night. Is Reva the greatest character Jovial Bob ever concocted? Spoilers: she just might be? Also, she's just the worst person. Instagram: @areyoutherepod Twitter: @jimmygoosebumps Email: areyoutherepodcast@gmail.com.

Happy Halloween, fam! Yes, it's technically still Halloween as I upload this. We're not late. Josh's brother Jon joins us for a spooky(?), demented tale he chose called Ma and Pa Dracula by Ann M. Martin (The Baby-Sitters Club!). Will he regret that choice? All will be revealed. What if your parents were vampires, but you were just a normal kid? That's pretty much the whole premise here. Baby-Sitters Club this is NOT. But we know you need your Spooky Month fix, YA-heads, so come get one more hit while it's still October!

Fam, it's Virgo season. Or at least it was when we recorded this. You know we had to bring on our favorite Virgo (Katie Lilly AKA TheHauntedOutfit) to celebrate her birthday and also to discuss Virgo's Love Scheme (The Zodiac Club #13) by Margie Palatini! Is there a connection between virgos and virginity? Is rollerskating a good date? WHY is this the LAST Zodiac Club book? Can we revive the Club as a prestige Netflix series? All will be revealed...

Hope you like elaborate treehouses, fam! Today our friend and guest fave Crystal Lane helps us discuss the strangely-named "Libby on Wednesday" by the elegantly-named Zilpha Keatley Snyder. Libby involves a writers' workshop in a treehouse. With three hosts who have taken writing workship classes, we get very VERY into that topic and all of its horrors. Prepare for some mid-2000s anecdotes from misogynist academia. Instagram: @areyoutherepod Twitter: @jimmygoosebumps Email: areyoutherepodcast@gmail.com.

We're going to summer camp, fam! It's going to be just like Meatballs, and we're bringing our pal Tom G. Wolf along with us. Tom is a returning favorite, writer, and host of a podcast called Lupine Transmissions. In AYTP's first BSC Super Special, we get into camp prank traditions, childhood pen pals, Desert Storm trading cards, and why Mallory sucks.

Fam, this is an episode like no other. No book, no outline, no usual format. TWO guests: Jeffrey Canino (writer and expert on all things horror) and Katie Lilly (friend and artist behind The Haunted Outfit). We go around the horn and give our takes on the Netflix Fear Street trilogy (based loosely on the works of RL Stine). That's right, all three films: 1994, 1978, and the dreaded 1666. Best outfits, best kills, best poop caves. What type of b*****s bleed black f***ing blood? That and so much more answered within! Preorder Jeffrey's book!

We're on fire, fam! And we've enlisted guest Andy Karr (Springfood, MO podcast) to come put us out. See, the factory shut down and we've been ramblin' down the backstreets ever since, the Thunder Roads...and now we're racing in the street. Damn can this guy stay out of the streets or what? Anyway, the book is about a boy who writes to Bruce Springsteen ("The Boss"). We read Dear Bruce Springsteen by Kevin Major and maybe had a little too much fun talking about it. AND...we're back in the same room--guest included--for the first time since early 2020!! Vax'd, waxed, and ready to lay down some trax! Jessica has got to stop letting me write these.

WARNING: EXTRA HORNY ADULT EPISODE We did a grownup book this time, fam. It's by Judy Blume (writer of our namesake), but it ain't Fudge. Wifey is a book about marriage, suburban ennui, and sexy sexy sex. NOT FOR KIDS. We were lucky enough to be joined by Lacey Hopkins of the band Dreamgirl, who experienced a childhood awakening of sorts with the help of this very book. Join us!

It's prom season, fam! We did another Point horror book and this time it's about a garment that is so very cursed: Prom Dress by Lael Littke. Of course, we needed help from an expert on YA fits, so we had Katie Lilly AKA The Haunted Outfit on the show! It was great and we had a lot of fun talking about prom memories and this wacky book. You should listen--it's a dress to die for! Next episode, join us for Marleen the Horror Queen by Lila Perl. Will we have a special guest again? ...maybe!

Producer Blake here. Jess and Josh told me to warn you about the following episode. It's extra rowdy, extra raunchy, and often extra FUNNY. VC Andrews is back, baby, and this time it's personal with My Sweet Audrina. A special guest, Hannah, joins us all the way from South Korea. But no matter where you are on the globe, this book is twisted, folks. We also discuss the Lifetime movie adaptation of this book which was...something else. You don't wanna miss this episode, folks. It's been a long time coming but we did it. Well, some of us did it. Others of us are cancelled :) Next episode, just in time for Valentine's Day, we’ll be discussing Fear Street Super Chiller: Broken Hearts by RL Stine!
