American Girls

As the old saying goes: where there's a Will, there's a way...to end up in jail? In book five of the Kit series, our hero wants nothing more than to hit the road. After meeting Will, a self-described hobo traveling the country, Kit longs for adventure and a break from chores. Kit gets more than she bargained for, however, when she hops a train and only gets as far as the local jail. We discuss Kit's anti-carceral state activism, the hobo code of conduct, and the durability of Saves the Day tropes. Fans of Love is Blind will want to tune in for our review of season three of the series; fans of Kit's Aunt Millie should also be sure to give this one a listen, just because she said so.  Time Stamps: 2:00-5:00 Bruce Springsteen and “tramps like us?” 5:15- 12: 00 - Love is Blind recap and discussion 14:44- end - We talk “Kit Saves the Day”   Resources: See the symbols left on Jimmy Carter’s childhood home’s mailbox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo You can find episodes, resources, and a link to our
