    Ep 745 - Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom
    Mar 9 2026

    I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's grey and - wait, Morrie's here. Tuesday's not so bad after all! Mitch Albom's breakthrough account of his meetings with the late Morrie Schwartz includes some moving lessons about how facing death head-on can help you lead life to the fullest. It also includes some observations by Albom that really threw Craig for a loop.

  • Ep 744 - Interior Chinatown, by Charles Yu

    Ep 744 - Interior Chinatown, by Charles Yu
    Mar 2 2026

    This week's book examines the Asian-American experience through the age-old phenomenon of Hollywood typecasting. And there's an intentionally porous line that separates this book's "reality" from the rest of it, which kind-of-sort-of takes place inside of a formulaic police procedural.

    Sit Me Baby One More Time Ep 08 - Welcome to the BSC, Abby! (The Baby-Sitters Club #90)
    Feb 28 2026

    We jump way ahead in the sequence of the series (but not in the lives of our sitters, who remain stubbornly trapped in the Eighth Grade Time Loop), well into the books' ghostwritten era. This week we meet Abby, an acerbic new member of the Club, and we also meet ghostwriter Nola Thacker, who wrote over a dozen main-series BSC books during the original run.

    Here's the full Sit Me Baby One More Time reading list:

    • Kristy's Great Idea
    • Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls
    • The Truth about Stacey
    • Mary Anne Saves the Day
    • Dawn and the Impossible Three
    • Hello, Mallory
    • Jessi's Secret Language
    • Welcome to the BSC, Abby


    Next time: we're heading to the movies, with The Baby-Sitters Club (1995)!
