BSCBBs 006 - Abby's Book Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

Jack takes a seat on the bench so that Regular Tanner and Future Tanner can solve the maddening puzzle that Jeanne Betancourt has created this week in the form of “Abby’s Book.” This mostly involves being incredibly sad about the fate of the surprisingly handsome Jonathan Stevenson, who — as fans of the BSC know all too well — went to ride the Rainbow Road far too soon.

BSCBBs 005 - Kristy's Book Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

With a little bit of help from their best friend Doctor Who, the boys take a magic phone box into the past and hang out with some of history’s most excellent people as they attempt to decipher the sacred text known as Kristy’s Book. Is Patrick Thomas really as unpleasant as he seems? Can we finally get to the bottom of what’s going on with Kristy and Bart? And how on Earth do you pronounce “Jeanne”? Only Isaac Newton knows the answers, apparently.

BSCBBs 004 - Mary Anne's Book Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

Our adorable Time Babies run into an impenetrable temporal anomaly inside a beautiful and possibly slightly magical Lake House as they navigate their way deep into Mary Anne’s past to find out what happened to Alma, why Kristy and Claudia have been acting so strange lately, and what it is exactly that farmers do when they’re standing out in their fields. And with a little help from their very best friends, Baby Terminator and Baby John Connor, they might just find their way back to a future that we can all be happy with. But probably not!

BSCBBs 003 - Dawn's Book Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

The boys invent a nifty little machine in their garage that creates a time loop which will allow them to go all the way back to 1995 and attempt to foil a nefarious plot by Baby-Sitters Club ghostwriter Jeanne Betancourt to make it seem like she came up with all of the BSC lore before anyone else did. And it all goes horribly, horribly, horribly wrong.

Show notes

Our intrepid Time Babies take another trip back to save the future, this time into Claudia Kishi’s past, where the Great One (She Who Lurks in the Darkness and Devours the Innocent) lurks. It’s all pretty scary and this is a scare warning!

BSCBBs 001 - Stacey's Book Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

Lobstrosities, Clone People, a malevolent Cloud AI ... and they’re all converging on the sweet, sweet feet of the sweetest Baby-Sitters Club Ghostwriter we know. But that’s not even the worst of it. The worst of it is that there’s only two guys who can stop it, and they’re Time Babies. This godforsaken mess (and more!) is what you get when the boys attempt to read about the ancient past of the BSC in the pages of the Portrait Collection. This week, “Stacey’s Book.” Strap in.

Daddy Eats Cat Food Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

Daddy and Tanner get some expert help as they navigate the sparse and unforgiving terrain they seem to have navigated themselves into after finishing the Baby-Sitters Club Mysteries. With no birds interested in taking them, and no more guidance from the ethereal voices of Ann M. Martin and Elle Fanning, desperation has set in as the boys wander, naked and bewildered, in the desert. And to make matters worse, they're starting to get hungry ...

Music credits:

“Walking on Sunshine,” by Allen Grey

“Holiday in Paris,” by Shorties

“Kids Logo III,” by Musical Smile

“Modern Rock Stinger,” by Phil Larson

BSCAC 001 - Kristy's Great Idea Audio Book Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

OK, so someone called “Elle Fanning” went back and changed a bunch of things in this one, but you know what she couldn’t hide? THE TRUTH. This week, on a very special episode of the Baby-Sitters Club Audio Club, the boys are going back to where it all started, except this time they’re actually LISTENING. And guess what they find out? That every single thing they ever suspected about these books was right, and nobody – least of all Elle Fanning – is going to keep that from coming out. Anyway, Kristy’s back having the idea for the Baby-Sitters Club again in this one and getting ready to do the whole thing all over again and it’s frankly pretty wonderful.

BSCMC 036 - Kristy and the Cat Burglar Nov 04, 2019

Show notes

Well, it was always going to end in cat burglars, but if any of us had even begun to suspect who those cats and who those burglars were, let alone what horrible things they had in store for the dreamy Sergeant Johnson, we might never have embarked on this dangerous and mysterious quest in the first place. The Grey Man is here of course, and Tanner uses the dark arts of “Numberology” to solve the Ultimate Mystery, and Kristy and Cary Retlin are kidnapped by a literal gun criminal. What a way to go out! All that and more in the final Baby-Sitters Club Mystery Club before the boys crawl into a field and let the birds take them.

Music credits:

“Crime of the Future,” by The Story Shop

“Victorian Detective Mystery,” by Niki N

“Triumphant Opener,” by Stereo Nuts
