Odds and Ends #26: Alice AGAIN

The Blume Saloon: A Judy Blume Book Podcast

Part TWO of our Alice Odds and Ends extravaganza! Alison and Jody discuss Rick Emerson's "Unmask Alice," which sheds so much light on the warped world of Beatrice Sparks, her motivation for writing Alice, Jay's Journal, and so many other faux diaries. Art Linkletter and the Satanic Panic also feature heavily. Then the gals recap and critique the surprisingly decent 1973 "Go Ask Alice" made-for-TV film featuring William Shatner, Andy Griffith, and Mackenzie Phillips. And with that, we are DONE with Alice, folks! We'll be announcing our next Judy Blume book soon, so stay tuned!
