Tree Ear wants to make pots, Carolyn wants Kerry to like this book, and special guest Gina Jung wants some peace and tranquility. Only robbers, social stigma, the correct method for stacking firewood stand in their way! Rest assured, no ceramic cranes were harmed in the making of this episode.

Mary Alice (...was that her name?) isn't having the best time at her Grandmother's house, and let's be frank - Kerry and Carolyn didn't have the best time reading about it, either.

New Season! New Decade! And some important new rules, including #365: this book is awesome(!!!!!) and #28: crying at the end is allowed.

We wrap up the 1970's with a total crowd pleaser (and Carolyn's all-time fave), The Westing Game. Can our intrepid literary detectives put the clues together in time? Tune in to our remote broadcast from unit 4D of the world's strangest apartment building to help solve the case!

And here it is folks... (drumroll)... the book that inspired us to begin with the 1970's. Grab that rope swing and let's dive in!

Special guest Ashley Wilson joins for yet another visit to some of the less savory vistas in American history. Can she and Kerry convince Carolyn that this sojourn in the Jim Crow south is worth the trip?

Let's face it, Kerry's had it up to here with superheroics, children of destiny, and other forms of pseudo-mythological hooey. Can Carolyn convince her to lift the magic harp and join the battle against the darkness (despite the ever-increasing trail of dead dogs)? Gadewch i ni ddarganfod!

High-stakes musicology, puppy love at knifepoint, and a six-toed collector of live snakes - join us at the top of our 40-foot pole for a truly weird little Appalachian sojourn.
