Description

Join Alli and her guest Jo Piazza for a journey back to the Little House in the Big Woods and for a conversation about all things Laura Ingalls! Their discussion centers around the first book in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved series, in which very little happens… but that might just be the point. They consider that possibility, along with the depiction of parenting, corporal punishment, prayer, and special occasions in the book. There’s also a conversation about the larger significance of the Little House series and what we can do with its complicated legacy. Jo Piazza is the bestselling author of many books, including We Are Not Like Them, Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, How to Be Married, The Knockoff, and the forthcoming You Were Always Mine. You might also recognize her from the podcast space from shows like Under the Influence and Committed. Follow Jo on Instagram (@jopiazzaauthor) and Twitter (@jopiazza).

Each week, freelance writer and lifelong bookworm Alli Hoff Kosik will challenge a guest to reread a literary throwback or to experience for the first time ever a book they may have missed as a kid. After that, they'll be asked to spill all the feels and all the opinions about that book on the air for your podcast-listening pleasure. Every Tuesday, you can find us breaking down an old school read from our tween and teen days on a new episode of the show. We'll cover everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Holes, Nancy Drew to Harry Potter. This time around, we're a little wiser (yay!), a lot older (ugh.), and of legal age to drink wine... so we'll have a lot to say. Happy Reading!
