Alison and Jody bumble through chapters 3-4 of “Puberty Blues,” written by Kathy Lette and Gabrielle Carey (when they were just 16!) in 1979. Now that Deb and Sue are in the Greenhills Gang, their next mission is to get spunky older boyfriends. And to lose their virginities at the drive-in. Jody presents some Mini Special Reports on the various types of Australian accents and ‘70s-era panel vans. Alison recalls her school’s water fountain etiquette and learning how sex works. There’s also a lot of talk about finger buns, paddocks, bison, bubblers, and Pimp My Ride. Finally, huge thank you to our new Patrons: Lisa Bee, Amy Michael, Bronwyn, and Nathan!
