Summary

Julie Albright doesn’t want much for her tenth birthday. All she’s really asking for is $1,000 to save a pair of national treasures—what could go wrong? Book four finds Julie fighting for a new cause after a chance encounter with a hurt animal. This time, Julie wants to see eagles fly again. We discuss her latest campaign, Earth Day, and news on the 2024 Girl of the Year.

0:00.0	So, Allison, I'm coming to you today. We're approaching election season with a real, real plea to our
0:07.2	listeners, like, and to you. Have you called your congressman, your senator about arguably one of
0:14.4	the great issues of our time? Oh, no. No, no, tell me more. Panda diplomacy. This is a matter
0:20.8	or near and dear to my heart. It involves Tiantian, Meizang, Zhao, Chi, Ji. Those are just the pandas
0:30.0	at the Washington National Zoo. But, you know, all of our pandas are being deported back to China,
0:36.4	like China is requesting them back. And I'm just very concerned, like, how do we move forward
0:41.2	as a nation with no pandas? Honestly, I see a really beautiful future for them as X-pads. I want
0:48.0	to believe that they'll, you know, watch American TV shows. They'll stay connected through. Excuse me.
0:55.1	You know, D-fonged Facebook accounts. I don't know. I think this could be really positive.
0:59.9	No. Okay, maybe that I'm just a constituency of one, but I'm upset. And like, if only Julie was here.
1:06.6	If Julie was here, this would go differently for sure. It would go differently. And as Mariah might
1:11.1	say, like, a hero comes along. Like, Julie, if you're out there, help me.
1:25.2	Welcome everyone to Dolls of Our Lives. This is the podcast where we're reliving the American Girl
1:30.1	series book by book. I'm Mary. I'm still Allison. And I'm still not the girl of the year.
1:35.8	I mean, not yet. I mean, I took that candidacy, you know, once again, we've been passed over. And
1:42.9	how do you feel about that? You know, I get a catalog. It says, you know, to our dearest
1:48.1	harrick's family, I flipped to the front. And I see a beautiful photo, right? A wonderful spread
1:54.5	by five pens in a cocktail. Sydney Rose Paulson. Excellent. Shout out. Once again, though, I don't see,
2:01.2	you know, a portrait of me. I don't see myself as girl of the year.
2:05.8	You know, I mean, don't stop believing as I've said to myself about the pandas being removed,
2:12.1	which I am genuinely upset about. And, you know, I don't even have a catalog. Not to come
2:19.1	on to this episode at a 10, but I don't even have a catalog. So I don't know what to do with that.
