Beschrijving

In this episode, Meghan and Colleen discuss talking goats, barking boyfriends, and fish balls, as well as the actual contents of The Message in the Hollow Oak (1972)! Note: In this 1972 book, the characters are on an archeological dig, spending most of the time at the dig exhuming indigenous bodies and their artifacts, and not being, shall we say, culturally sensitive in any way, shape, or form. We don’t talk about it the entire episode, but it is the setting of the book, so it does get discussed. If that’s not your cup of tea, obviously feel free to skip this episode. Some info (with visuals) about the Hopewell tradition: https://openvirtualworlds.org/omeka/exhibits/show/moundbuildersart/moundbuilders/middlewoodland [https://openvirtualworlds.org/omeka/exhibits/show/moundbuildersart/moundbuilders/middlewoodland] Additional info about the Hopewell tradition: https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/anthropology/hopewell-culture [https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/anthropology/hopewell-culture] The interesting path of the idiom “rats fleeing a sinking ship,” discussed in the Gumshoe Game Show: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/like-rats-fleeing-a-sinking-ship-history [https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/like-rats-fleeing-a-sinking-ship-history] To hear the fascinating and fantastic stories of indigenous archeologists, we recommend the Heritage Voices podcast: https://livingheritageanthropology.org/heritage-voices-podcast [https://livingheritageanthropology.org/heritage-voices-podcast] We also recommend the 2024 book Working As Indigenous Archeologists: https://www.routledge.com/Working-as-Indigenous-Archaeologists-Reckoning-New-Paths-Between-Past-and-Present-Lives/Nicholas-Watkins/p/book/9781032025377 [https://www.routledge.com/Working-as-Indigenous-Archaeologists-Reckoning-New-Paths-Between-Past-and-Present-Lives/Nicholas-Watkins/p/book/9781032025377] To see visuals of the images discussed in this (or any) episode, go to patreon.com/nancydrew [http://patreon.com/nancydrew] (images are not behind a paywall)!

MaYaND 019: NDN 02: The Lost Locket (1994)

NOTE: We apologize for how late this arrived in your podcast feed; there was an RSS feed situation (which is why multiple past episodes also weren’t appearing on YouTube for a while), and also for any drop in audio quality for this episode (Meghan has some Life Stuff right now, so Colleen did both the rough edit and attempted to do some of Meghan’s fine-tuning, but does not have quite the ear/experience that Meghan has, so Colleen would like to take total credit for any weird editing moments you may or may not hear. Maybe you won’t notice any! In which case we can stop being such perfectionists, LOL.) REMINDER: We have switched to an every-three-weeks publishing model to try to make this project more sustainable, so check our website for our episode calendar! Thank you for your patience and awesomeness! In this episode, Meghan and Colleen discuss Hannah’s magical powers, Boy Backpacks, and Bess’s mysterious slipper creatures, as well as the actual contents of The Lost Locket (1994)!

MaYaND Episode 017.5: Outtakes from Episodes 005-009

NOTE: This episode, unlike the episodes in our main feed, contains swear words, so it is not necessarily family-friendly! Due to a combination of two tech weeks in a row for two different back-to-back plays (Colleen), a terribly-timed case of strep throat (Colleen), and technical difficulties (somehow, also Colleen), there is no regular episode this weekend, so we hope you enjoy the combined bloopers from our 5th-9th episodes! If you like these and want the bloopers for each episode to be in your feed at the same time as each actual episode is, please consider becoming a Patreon supporter at patreon.com/nancydrew [http://patreon.com/nancydrew] (and, again, we apologize for the lack of a regular episode; thanks for your patience).

MaYaND 016: CB 13: The Mystery of the Ivory Charm (1974)

In this episode, Meghan and Colleen discuss becoming a squid, badly-labeled books, and the benefits of administering stimulants to (fictional) children, as well as the actual contents of The Mystery of the Ivory Charm (1974)! Note: There are very brief mentions in this episode of the child abuse in this book (7:27-7:30 and 1:00:55-1:00:59) and there is a brief discussion of a character’s suicide attempt (1:01:55-1:02:57). Additionally, this 1974 book does not do a great job of portraying characters from/in India, just so you’re aware going in. We cover the things they do somewhat well with and the things that…have aged badly…but we wanted to let people up front. If that’s not your cup of tea, obviously feel free to skip this episode. As a palate cleanser, we would like to recommend Supriya Kelkar’s awesome middle grade book American As Paneer Pie (2020), a story of identity and navigating differences as your community feels like it’s changing around you, with positive representation of Indian-American characters!
