Summary

Before Jessica Alba had a hip-hop dance career, few may recall that Kirsten Larson was also making gold from honey. In the fifth Kirsten book, we find our young hero has become an unbearably brave woman of the woods. Undaunted by wild bears, Kirsten “saves the day” by finding honeycombs and eventually, creating a new revenue stream for the family. While Mary and Allison question Kirsten’s devotion to beekeeping (Bees? Beads? Her?) they tackle the concepts of wilderness and whiteness. This episode also includes an important discussion on Justin Timberlake and the unresolved, unanswered BOLO for Singing Bird.

0:09.6	contest for fan fiction? That's right. So I was kind of surprised. I was going for a walk
0:14.8	through the woods and I came across this tree that had a message scrawled in it for us
0:20.0	for the podcast said at American Girls and it was signed man of the woods. Do you mind reading what it says?
0:27.3	Yeah, this is sort of a strange fan fiction entry, but you know, we'll see how it lands when we get the rest of the you know

0:51.0	Allison!
0:52.0	I'm sorry. Okay. New paragraph. A few weeks ago I just played a strong lapse in judgment, but let me be clear, nothing happened between me and my co-star.
1:11.0	I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known
1:16.8	better. This is not the example I want to set for my son. I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing
1:26.3	situation and I'm focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that. I am incredibly proud to be working on Palmer.

1:56.4	No. Please get flu shots. Let's hit it. American Girls, the podcast where we're reliving the American Girl series book by book.
2:15.0	I'm Mary.
2:16.0	And I am still Allison.
