1. Long Live the PTS's!

"Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," chapters 1-5. In the very first episode of The Blume Saloon, a sort-of book club, Jody and Alison talk about their memories of Judy Blume and dive into the book. Margaret (aka Mavis, aka Margo) moves to Farbrook, meets sassy-pants Nancy Wheeler, ditches her socks, and joins a secret club. Dad chops his finger off. MJB Jr. makes our hearts flutter. Your hosts chat about their own awkward pre-teen experiences, explore the censorship controversy surrounding Judy's YA books, and set the tone for life in 1970. It's a sort-of book club.
