Hello, Mallory: “Ms. Junk Food Junkie”

HELLLLLLLLLLLLO, Mallory! Welcome aboard! Mal (and Jessi!) finally join the club, but boy, the members of the BSC sure don’t make it easy. We discuss racial identity development in Stoneybrook, the racist structures of 1988 and today, and the audacity of Mal’s whitesplaining of the concept of “soy sauce” to Claudia. Also, why do girls love horses? Who were the Wandering Frog People? And a theme song for “Whoops!” (finally).

“Stuck in Stoneybrook” is edited by Emily Crandall. Theme song written and recorded by Gary Shaller, performed by the band Kid Kit. Need some books that we mentioned?
