Show Notes

Welcome back, Kindred Spirits! Ragon and Kelly kick off a third podcast season by re-introducing themselves and the podcast, giving a behind the scenes look at how we make the pod, and discussing some of what’s to come in Season Three. This is a great place to dive in if you’re new to the podcast, and for longtime listeners, enjoy the deep friendship lore!

Inspired by: Both Ragon and Kelly are inspired by podcasts this week. Most of the podcasts are available on a variety of podcast players but we’ve included links here to their main sites. Ragon is inspired by <a href=”https://www.kelseymckinney.com/normal-gossip”> Normal Gossip</a> by Kelsey McKinney for fun, low stakes stories that will have you invested in real life anonymous gossip. And is inspired by Binge Mode: Harry Potter by Mallory Rubin and Jason Concepcion on The Ringer. Binge Mode is only available in its entirety on Spotify at the moment but here’s a <a href=”https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6dPsggAViCF6mMn6YzPLve”> Playlist</a> that is only their Harry Potter series. Kelly is inspired by <a href=”https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/feeling-seen/”> Feeling Seen</a> by Jordan Crucchiola for thoughtful interviews discussing movie characters that made the guests feel seen. And she is inspired by the podcast <a href=”https://open.spotify.com/show/4xQ4HKZjIg04Phtj2gaTbi”> Worlds Beyond Number</a>, a role playing podcast where talented voice actors play out the adventures of a hedge witch, a haughty wizard and the son of a demigod.

You can support the pod by shopping through our <a href=”https://bookshop.org/shop/kindredspiritsbookclub”> Bookshop</a> link for any books we’ve recommended! If you want to get a free logo sticker from us, either leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or share your love for the pod on social media!

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.
