There Might Be Cupcakes Podcast

By: Carla Pettigrew
  • Summary

  • Carla is: a bookdragon; a 50-something with psychology and counseling degrees with post-grad work in grief/loss/trauma, sex crimes, and forensic anthropology; a woman who has lived in three haunted houses; a former freelance journalist and counselor, who is never bored; a disabled introvert who sees connections everywhere--like John Nash, only less math-y; a knitting fidget who loves horror movies with a skewed passion. Like one of her heroes, Harriet the Spy, she wants to learn everything and write in all down in her commonplace book. Join her (and sometimes her friends) in her strange library as she INFJs everything from unused angles. It’s going to get weird in the best way. Let’s play.

Episodes
  • From the Pantry: Eclipse: 90
    May 5 2024
    Talking about where I have been, plus:

    From the Pantry, originally episode 19, to honor the recent eclipse: In which Carla starts with Dolores Claiborne and Gerald's Game--Stephen King's planned In the Path of the Eclipse series—and explores folktales used to explain solar eclipses. It gets weird.

    Dante’s The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso—my recommended translation is by Robin Kirkpatrick, a leading expert on Dante. The meticulous notes are superb. This is the version translated by Kirkpatrick and illustrated by Eric Drooker: bookshop.org/a/6560/9780143107194

  • Library Pirates (with Princess Jones Curtis): 88
    Apr 28 2023
    Happy anniversary to all of us! Thank you for six years of cupcakes; you are the cupcakes I find on difficult days. I hope I have given you some.

    Show notes: In which Carla and Princess Jones Curtis from the Bye, Pumkin Podcast talk about being mysteriously early readers, the effect V. C. Andrews had on (mostly) the women of their generation, Paperbacks From Hell, Stephen King, how Carla’s earliest reading habits explain a lot, and how Judy Blume is still, well, perfect.

    Sources:
    All of the books discussed will be listed in the Substack, Patreon, and on the website after I catalog them all. Here’s Paperbacks From Hell by Carla’s buddy, Grady Hendrix. https://bookshop.org/a/6560/9781594749810 Grady, if you know which Zebra book (it had to be Zebra) was about the evil child named Lucien, let me know. I have to reread it.
