 Wherein J and Collision pick a book they used to like because they want to kill their own sacred cows a little: "IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas", a book about writing about music and pop culture.

Yes. I don't think it's creepy, but it might not be very interesting to you.

Judy Blume has a wonderful talent for understanding how situations look and feel to kids, and is equally skilled at expressing such. Hell, Superfudge has become really trendy in our school's library this past month, and my kids really don't like "old books "
Judy Blume also never really sugarcoated anything about the general bullshit kids have to deal with. When I was a teen I just had a bunch of them through garage sales and I read them out of curiosity. She never really talks down to the audience and she has a pretty good understanding of teen bullshit and how it's a weird time; Blubber is a pretty accurate view of teen bullying and Then Again, Maybe I Won't is a good novel about male puberty and feeling guilt for doing something you shouldn't. And she never really tries to wrap them all up in happy endings.

 Their Patreon exclusive episode of Cool Cat Saves The Kids is one of my favorite pieces of podcast media and it's a shame to see them end but all things end in time and at least this was amicable. I hope they stay chill and happy.
