She survived the Great Depression, she fought for women's suffrage, and for many of us, she was our first window into what it meant to be American. This week, Amanda and Chelsea are joined by culture writers and co-editors of An American Girl Anthology, Justine Orlovsky-Schnitzler (@justineodashs) and KC Hysmith (@kchysmith), to unpack the cult of American Girl Dolls. Because these weren't just toys… they were identity-shaping, history spinning, $120 personality tests. And behind the tiny teeth and perfect braids are much bigger questions: Who gets to be American? Whose stories are worth telling? And what does it mean when those stories are written by a brand who's bottom line is trying to sell you tiny matching accessories? From revisionist history to real emotional impact, this episode explores how American Girl Dolls didn't just reflect American girlhood, they quietly helped define it.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is her response to Terri's challenge: Are there etiquette books for children?

Also mentioned: 365 Manners Kids Should Know and Mind Your Manners, B.B. Wolf.​Terri's random recommendation is Rhythm and Beat, a shop selling fun music-themed t-shirts including the Things We Did shirt and the My Brain Is Like 80% Song Lyrics shirt (see last week's roundup for a demonstration of how accurate that is). Mentioned: Ridiculously cheap Fountains of Wayne t-shirts, Summerfest.​In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2018 called Pet Patrol. Mentioned: ChuckIt! ball launcher.Next week's lineup: Lost S3 E11, "Enter 77," on Tuesday, August 12The Gilded Age S3 E4, "Marriage Is a Gamble," on Wednesday, August 13Weekly roundup: On vacation until August 28Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.

What happens when passion for country music collides with unwavering values? Alexis Wilkins, singer-songwriter and political commentator, takes us on her extraordinary journey from writing songs at age six to navigating the complex landscape of today's music industry.Alexis shares the fascinating story of how reading a Smithsonian article about coal fires as a child sparked her songwriting career, recording her first song on an American Girl doll tape recorder. Her path took unexpected turns from England to Switzerland to Arkansas, eventually leading to Nashville where she discovered that staying true to her values would come at a professional cost."They want to turn on the radio and be able to listen to it with their kids in the car. They don't want to have to make a moral decision every time they go to pick a song," Alexis explains about country music fans, cutting to the heart of the disconnect between industry gatekeepers and audiences. She candidly discusses being asked to remove the American flag from her social media, receiving failing grades from politically-opposed professors, and finding her voice as an advocate for veterans and law enforcement.The conversation takes fascinating detours through her collection of taxidermied animals (including a bison head and cowboys-dressed squirrels), her defense of Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town," and her relationship with FBI Director Cash amidst bizarre internet rumors. Throughout it all, Alexis demonstrates why authentic voices matter in country music and beyond.Alexis announces her American Heroes Foundation and "Back the Badge" tour, showing how she's channeling her passion for music into tangible support for those who serve. Whether you're a country music fan, concerned about cultural divides, or simply appreciate stories of integrity against the odds, this episode delivers powerful insights about staying true to yourself when it matters most.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

A 33-year-old woman wants to buy the American Girl doll she never got to have as a child. Is it weird to buy knowing she'll never play with it? How have you relived your childhood as an adult?

So many dolls, so little time! This week, we're covering everything from the 30th anniversary Clueless collabs

In this patriotic edition of The Audio Files, Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot celebrate American music from every angle, mixing rock anthems, punk nostalgia, and country swagger. They kick off by belatedly marking the 4th of July with X's “Fourth of July,” Tom Petty's “American Girl,” and the tongue-in-cheek “United States of Whatever.” Along the way, they share stories of vinyl collections, musical awakenings, and unforgettable live shows. The episode features everything from Kim Wilde's “Kids in America” to Kid Rock's “American Badass” and Neil Diamond's iconic “America.” They reflect on the patriotic surge after 9/11 and play Toby Keith's “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” Lynyrd Skynyrd's comeback hit “Red White and Blue,” and Steve Miller Band's “Living in the USA.” Interwoven are lively anecdotes about guitars, recording studios, and the authenticity of New Yorkers. The hosts close with WASP's fiery performance and Hendrix's legendary Woodstock rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, capturing the spirit, pride, and contradictions of America through music.

During the 1990s a doll that taught kids about American History became a major force within the crowded toy market.

[The episode has three friends in it: Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, and Hayne Griffin]Joey read a book that captures the American history of adolescent girls' commitment to having the best possible body.  You can check out "The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls" here.  With some of the book's contents as the context, Joey, Hayne and Amy talk through women's arduous struggle toward gender equality and how far along society has come, while Joey now having read this book, admits ignorance to many aspects of the challenge for women.  Amy opens up about some personal body image issues, personally relating to the societal research spelled out in this particular book.  Joey and Hayne try to explain why they are not sexually attracted to 20 year olds and Amy gives her best shot at explaining why she thinks they are not.  Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)E-mail Joey here.

Grab your tiny plastic tea set, your irrational attachment to Samantha's velvet holiday dress, and maybe an extra rosary, because today we're getting a broader understanding of dolls with baggage (with some help from Kristen Bear of Creative Sobriety) From the American Girl historical trauma pipeline to the haunted legends of Robert and Annabelle, we're busting out our broken babydoll memories and trying to understand why we wanted harrowing backstories instead of pristine BarbiesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support.

Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz explains how his songwriting process has changed over the years, and offers insights into some of his songs, from early classics to recent compositions. PART ONE:Paul and Scott discuss judging a book by its cover and their possible status as idiots. PART TWO:Our in-depth conversation with Adam DuritzABOUT ADAM DURITZ:Songwriter Adam Duritz is best known as the lead singer of Counting Crows, which formed in 1991 in the San Francisco Bay area. Their 1993 debut album, August and Everything After, which was produced by T. Bone Burnett, attracted attention for songs such as “Mr. Jones,” “Round Here,” and “Rain King.” The album earned the group two Grammy nominations and was certified seven-times platinum. The double platinum follow-up album, Recovering the Satellites, reached number one and produced the top 10 pop single “A Long December.” Subsequent #1 singles on Billboard's AAA chart include “American Girls” with Sheryl Crow, “She Don't Want Nobody Near,” “Accidentally in Love” from Shrek 2 (which earned them an Academy Award nomination), and “You Can't Count on Me” and “Come Around” from the band's fifth album, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings. In 2021 Counting Crows reached #2 on the AAA chart with “Elevator Boots” from their EP Butter Miracle, Suite One. Their eighth studio album, Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!, will be released this Friday, May 9. You'll hear clips of some of the new songs during our conversation, but to hear others Adam discusses, such as “With Love, From A-Z” and “Boxcars,” you'll have to wait a few days for the new album. In all, the band has sold over 20 million albums and established themselves as vibrant live performers who often put a fresh spin on the recorded versions of their classic songs.
