Tonight, we'll read the 28th chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “An Unfortunate Lily Maid” In the last episode, Marilla returns home one spring evening thrilled by the season's promise, only to discover there's no fire, no tea—and no Anne. After fuming in the kitchen and questioning Matthew, she fetches a candle in Anne's room and finds her hiding tearfully among the pillows. Anne confesses she spent her chicken-money on a peddler's hair dye, hoping for raven-black locks but ending up with a ghastly green mane. When daily washings fail, Marilla decrees the only cure is to cut Anne's hair off, leaving her shingled head looking “like a scarecrow.” In the aftermath, Anne resolves to be good instead of vain, and Marilla—even amid her headaches—admits she rather enjoys Anne's lively chatter. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Vivien Wong is the co-founder of Little Moons, the cult brand that transformed a niche Japanese dessert into a household name. A bold disruptor in the global ice cream market, Vivien is a finalist for the 2025 Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award. In this episode, we explore Vivien's remarkable journey from helping in her mother's bakery to founding one of the UK's most talked-about brands. She reflects on the importance of female role models, what starting her own business has brought her personally and professionally, and how one viral social media moment can transform a company's success overnight. From navigating Little Moons' TikTok explosion to the importance of integrity in company culture, Vivien shares the lessons she learned from scaling her values-led business. In this episode, we dive into her experiences working with family, what being woman in business means today, and what awards like Veuve Clicquot are doing to raise the visibility of female success. Vivien believes that creating opportunities for women to connect, learn, and invest together is key to building collective power. An audacious champion of female success and self-belief, her insights offer an honest, hopeful roadmap for founders and future leaders alike. Much like Madame Clicquot herself. Widowed at the age of only 27, she took control of her own destiny and became one of the first modern entrepreneurs. Book for Emmeline recommendation: Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery For more about the Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman awards and shortlist, click here.

Tonight, we'll read the 27th chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “Vanity and the Vexation of Spirit” In the previous chapter, Anne struggles to adjust to everyday life after the excitement of the concert. She finds ordinary days dull in comparison, lamenting that her experiences have perhaps spoiled her for simpler pleasures. School returns to normal, though minor quarrels persist among classmates stemming from tensions at the concert. Anne and Diana discuss growing older, imagination, and the trials of writing compositions. Anne enthusiastically shares a dramatic story she wrote, prompting the creation of a girls' story-writing club. Although Marilla disapproves of this pastime as foolish, Anne insists they always include morals in their stories. Despite Marilla's skepticism, Anne remains hopeful about her own personal growth, inspired by Mrs. Allan's past imperfections and kindness. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textWhile Canada has Anne of Green Gables about a girl growing up in the late 19th century, America has the Little House on the Prairie series. This episode we look at 2 books from the Prairie series, Little House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie by author Laura Ingalls Wilder. These semi-autobiographical books follow Laura, her parents (Charles and Caroline) and her sisters (Mary and Carrie) from their quiet life in woods of Wisconsin to their perilous journey out to the prairie in the Kansas. Given the time period, Wilder and the Prairie series are not without controversy. We discuss women's roles during the time period, Charles's hasty and ill-advised decisions, and the overt racist depictions of Native Americans. We recognize these books' place in the children's literature canon but we also discuss what space they occupy in our present day. These Books Made Me is a podcast about the literary heroines who shaped us and is a product of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System podcast network.

Tonight, we'll read the 26th chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “The Story Club is Formed” In the previous chapter, Matthew realizes that Anne is dressed more plainly than her peers and secretly sets out to buy her a beautiful new dress for Christmas. After an awkward attempt at shopping, he enlists Mrs. Lynde's help to pick out a fashionable dress with the puffed sleeves Anne has long admired. On Christmas morning, Anne is overwhelmed with joy at the gift, and later, she dazzles at the school concert, where she delivers a moving recitation. That night, as Matthew and Marilla reflect on Anne's success, they begin to consider her future beyond Avonlea. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ Deluxe to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

An episode that Anne'-swers all your questions!Here's what's in store for today's episode: * We kick off this episode by diving into autism misdiagnoses and the controversy surrounding Kanye West.* We explore how neurotypical stigmas surrounding autism contribute to misdiagnoses, leading to misunderstandings, overlooked diagnoses, and incorrect labels that impact autistic individuals' lives.* Autistic people are often the best at recognizing and diagnosing other autistic people—real recognize real.* We then dive into the heart of our episode—Anne of Green Gables—and explore how this beloved story is delightfully autistic in all the best ways.* Anne, our protagonist, is the quintessential outsider—she doesn't fit in and doesn't care to. Sound familiar?* Anne Shirley is constantly told she's 'too much'—too talkative, too dramatic, too imaginative, and always just a little outside the norm* The original Anne of Green Gables was written in 1908, during the Industrial Revolution—an era of chaotic transition for many, including autistic individuals, who were beginning to adjust to life in a rapidly changing capitalist society.* A lot of autistic people are drawn to turn-of-the-century fiction, like Anne of Green Gables or Little House on the Prairie, because it evokes a time when life felt less complex and the world seemed more predictable.* Anne Shirley is an orphan, and many autistic people can relate to that feeling of being an outsider or disconnected, much like the concept of Wrong Planet Syndrome that Angela discusses—where autistic individuals feel as though they're from a different world entirely.* The book experienced massive critical and commercial success over the years, spawning sequels, a Disney movie, an anime adaptation, and more.* Anne of Green Gables holds a huge cultural impact and status in Japan, a country that embodies many facets of autistic culture, from its deep appreciation for routine and order to its rich traditions of storytelling and introspection.* We discuss Anne's author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, and how she based the character of Anne on her own life, highlighting the autistic-coded traits that are reflected in Anne's personality and experiences.* In addition, we also analyze some of Anne's inherently autistic traits, like her use of echolalia, infodumping, and her intense "spins"—those passionate, often over-the-top moments where she loses herself in her thoughts and imagination.* Matt and Angela dive into the concept of internalized ableism, exploring how it often takes significantly more effort and output for autistic people to achieve success, as they navigate societal expectations that aren't built for neurodivergent minds.* We discuss how unschooling often gets bad PR, while also examining how factory schools were created during the Industrial Revolution to train students to work for 8 hours a day in factories, shaping the education system we know today.* Next, we explore the neurodivergent friendship dynamics in the series, such as the unique bond between Anne and Gilbert, which is built on an intellectual connection with little to no small talk, showcasing other neurodivergent tendencies like deep, focused conversation and mutual understanding.* Additionally, talk about the importance of echolalia and neurodivergent-coded language processing in Anne's character and how it shapes her communication style.* Autistic people have a different structure of language; we use the same words but approach concepts in unique ways. When we communicate with other autistic people, there's a shared understanding that transcends typical language norms.* We talk about Anne's physical stimming and how people in her town of Avonlea were not pleased with it, often misunderstanding or criticizing her behavior.* Anne has sensory issues aplenty, including ones that influence her choice of dress and what she wears, highlighting her sensitivity to certain fabrics and styles.* Finally, we touch on how Anne struggles with masking and is constantly pressured to fit in, highlighting the challenges of trying to conform to societal expectations while staying true to herself.“This is the thing - the people who are good at diagnosing autism might not be as neurotypical as they think they are. The neurotypicals tend to be very bad at diagnosing autism.” - Matt“When I picture Anne of Green Gables, I picture her surrounded by Kermit the Frog dressed as Clark Gable.” - Matt“It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically - but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?” - Anne Shirley“There's such a lot of different ands in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person.” - Anne Shirley“I have always lived in a world of imagination; I kept it shut up within myself for fear of ridicule.” - Lucy Maud Montgomery“This is why we get thrown into ‘social skills groups' and ‘social skills training' - because neurotypicals want us to be like them instead of acknowledging that we are different and accepting our differences because it's colonization b******t.” - MattDid you enjoy this episode? We dive into the neurodivergent themes in Anne of Green Gables, exploring Anne's traits, sensory issues, and the challenges she faces in Avonlea. We discuss how her unique communication style and physical stimming set her apart, while also reflecting on how society views neurodivergence.

For decades, séances, spirit communication, and ghostly encounters weren't just tabloid curiosities—they shaped Canada's history. In this final installment of our two-part series, we explore the profound impact of spiritualism on the country's literary icons, scientific minds, and political leaders. From Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, who risked his reputation to prove the existence of spirits, to Lucy Maud Montgomery, who quietly attended séances while writing Anne of Green Gables and some of the country's most beloved books. We examine the eerie experiments of Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton, whose unsettling photographs remain unexplained. And, perhaps most astonishing of all, William Lyon Mackenzie King—Canada's longest-serving Prime Minister—who sought comfort in messages from beyond, convinced that his lost loved ones were still guiding him. Was spiritualism a fleeting fad, or did it shape Canada's past in ways we've never fully acknowledged?

Being a stay-at-home mom is not a demotion—it's a career shift. Sherri Seligson knows what it's like to trade a dream job for the privilege of staying home to raise her kids full-time. Her story reminds us that it's the small habits and “little obediences” of everyday life that shape us into who we will become one day. Whether you're a mom or not, I think this conversation will encourage you that your unseen acts of faithfulness are eternally significant.    Anne of Green Gables series by L.M.
