BoozySitters Club
by BoozySitters Club
The BoozySitters Club is the podcast that asks the question: what if you took babysitting, and added booze (Not literally, of course, because that would be irresponsible)? Each episode revisits one book of the beloved YA series, The Baby-Sitters Club, while featuring a different drink every time. Nostalgia, cocktails, feminism, and the spirit of creativity make their way through each episode, as we catch up with the founding members and beyond.
