Meg Goes to Vanity Fair (Ch 9) – QLW010

February 23, 2016

You know that thing, sexism? It’s back. In full force. Jo and Maggie take this opportunity to dig into Real Talk: on slut shaming, puberty and relationships, menopause wisdom, hormones, binders, and the pain of the gender binary. If there’s anything we can thank sexism for, it’s that it inspired another great episode of QLW.

Even if your little sister burns an entire book you wrote, you probably shouldn’t let her fall through the ice to her near death.

Amy’s Valley of Humiliation (Ch 7) – QLW007

January 3, 2016

Remember pogs? In this rollicking episode, we find out why pickled limes are their 19th century equivalent. Lou Alcott comes through with a solid display of sexism and hatred of Irish people… And for all the listeners named Amy out there, Maggie finally takes your side. But Jo still hates your guts. Sorry. PICKLED LIMES … Continue reading

Beth Finds the Palace Beautiful (Ch 6) – QLW006

November 29, 2015

Honk if you love Beth. Or better yet, listen to this episode, because Beth’s the star of the show. While she summons superhuman bravery to walk down the road and considers playing the piano in Amy’s face (who wouldn’t?), Maggie and Jo lose it over Beth’s impending death. Get the tissues ready.

Being Neighborly (Ch 5) – QLW005

October 27, 2015

In this episode, Laurie’s grandfather honors Jo’s gender: Probably because “Italians are always nice!” (Unlike Jo and Meg, who pronounce themselves minxes.) Jo and Maggie ponder the racist children’s game “Guess Who”, and Jo’s teenage self spells whore with an H.

Burdens/Amy is the Worst (Ch 4) – QLW004

October 2, 2015

This chapter is called “Burdens,” but Maggie has dubbed it “Amy is The Worst.” Whether or not Amy is worse than squirrels becomes debatable. Beth’s DOLL HOSPITAL(!!!) turns into a psychological profiling tool, revealing the depths of our hosts’ personalities as Jo and Maggie describe just what they used to do with dolls. And, as … Continue reading

The Laurence Boy (Ch3) – QLW003

September 18, 2015

You betcha, just like Meg’s hair in Chapter 3, this podcast is on fire. Straight from Minneapolis, MN, we present Episode 3, in which Jo March goes to a party in a “gentlemanly” dress, and our own Jo eats mint balls. In a top hat. That’s right.
