We're back! After a tragic, mimosa-related death for Kelly's laptop (RIP old friend), a brief period of mourning and gaining a new computer was needed. But now Kelly and Emily are not only back, they've got a guest! Their friend(?) Alex joins them this week to discuss the classic kid's tale of alien abduction, Bruce Coville's "My Teacher is an Alien". It's time to talk about hot substitutes, out-of-place casual misogyny, and survival strategies for not being abducted by extraterrestrial teachers. Do YOU know how to stay off their list? Neither do your podcast hosts.
