More from Kindred Spirits Book Club
We’re just popping in to give you a quick look at our upcoming Season 6!
We are thrilled to share our fascinating conversation with Sara Louise Petersen all about Anne of Green Gables and its appeal across the ideological spectrum! Sara tells us why “Trad Wives” love Anne of Green Gables, and we talk all about how the books and Anne herself both support and critique traditional values. Join us at the intersection of Avonlea and Instagram for this episode!
In today’s episode, we relive our unforgettable adventure to Prince Edward Island where we walked in L.M. Montgomery’s footsteps, explored beloved Anne of Green Gables sites, and met the historians, scholars, and Montgomery family members who help keep her legacy alive. We are also taking you with us to the L.M. Montgomery Institute’s Biennial Conference, sharing highlights from our favorite sessions, including those we hosted! If you are planning your own pilgrimage to PEI, join us for travel tips, recommendations, and memorable moments.
Live from Prince Edward Island and the L.M. Montgomery Institute Conference! We are so excited to bring a slice of this magical night at the conference to our listeners. Expect our signature deep dives, some interactive audience fun, and plenty of laughs as we discuss Montgomery, fandom, and our podcasting journey. Some of the audience participation audio isn’t the best quality (hey, we learned a lot!) but you get the idea! And YOU can play along with our episode ＜a href=”https://mfbc.us/m/b2juqtd”＞ BINGO＜/a＞ just like our in person audience did! Check our ＜a href=”https://www.instagram.com/kindredspirits.bookclub/”＞ Instagram＜/a＞ as well if you are listening to this episode the week it drops for an opportunity to win a little bingo prize!
It’s our season finale! And even as we are trying to close the book on the Anne series, we couldn’t help adding just a few more thoughts, lingering questions, and hot takes to the conversation. Join us for Anne and ADHD debates, queer readings, forgotten characters, our dream fanfiction, and the enduring magic that makes Anne of Green Gables beloved around the world. It’s a joyful celebration of Kindred Spirits everywhere and a heartfelt look back at four wonderful years spent with Anne Shirley.
