Happy 2020 Blume Heads! Jody and Alison discuss chapters 11-12 of "Puberty Blues" by Australians Kathy Lette and Gabrielle Carey, written in 1979. Deb gets in trouble for spending too much time behind the library with her new BF and we learn just how VILE the surfie boys actually are (JUSTICE FOR FRIEDA CUMMINS!). There's also some incredible Aussie TV commercials from the early '80s, talk about salad sandwiches, Summer Rolls and Honey Logs, bad Christmas cracker jokes, and dramatic readings. Thank you SO VERY MUCH to our new Patrons, Lisa Lester and Mandy Sutton!
