S2E5 The Hardy Boys: Footprints Under the Window by Franklin W. Dixon

Gather 'round, gumshoes. The boys are on the beat this week cracking the case of 1933's Footprints Under the Window, a remarkably racist entry in early Hardy Boys canon centered on anti-Chinese xenophobia. Beyond the text, our detectives dig into the sleazy world of the Stratemeyer Syndicate (also known for Nancy Drew) and their immense impact on American YA fiction and the book world at large.
