Well, it was always going to end in cat burglars, but if any of us had even begun to suspect who those cats and who those burglars were, let alone what horrible things they had in store for the dreamy Sergeant Johnson, we might never have embarked on this dangerous and mysterious quest in the first place. The Grey Man is here of course, and Tanner uses the dark arts of “Numberology” to solve the Ultimate Mystery, and Kristy and Cary Retlin are kidnapped by a literal gun criminal. What a way to go out! All that and more in the final Baby-Sitters Club Mystery Club before the boys crawl into a field and let the birds take them.

You’re gonna love this episode 😉 (👈 this is not a come-on. We just genuinely think you’ll like this episode a lot. We had a lot of fun making it and you’ll probably have a lot of fun listening to it. 🤤 (👈 this is also not a come-one. Please don’t read into these emojis at all. We’re happily married men. We just want you to enjoy the show. 👍 (👈 okay, I’m not sure how you’d even interpret that one as a come-on, but just in case, I should clarify that the thumbs up is not a come-on in any way. It really seems like you’re willfully misinterpreting these now.)))

Detective Tanner and Gumshoe Jack wade into a mystery that they are fundamentally ill equipped to solve, featuring not just Abby Stevenson, but a beloved and dangerous Marvel hero, the entire crew from “Mystery Men,” an ascended Lawnmower Man version of Janine Kishi, and a stone cold hottie who’s been hiding in plain sight this whole time. Oh, and also Cenobites! And Kristy. Kristy’s in this one too. Ellen Miles did a whole lot with some pretty limited space this week.

Live at Littlefield in Brooklyn, NY, the boys dig deep into one of the greatest mysteries of all time: What the heck is going on with ghostwriter Jeanne Betancourt and her twisted blood orgies? It may just be part of her writing process for these Super Mysteries, in which case it worked! Plenty of spooky ghosts, scary vampires, and unsavory teenage boys in this one, not to mention a whole mess of parades, because Stoneybrook has finally gone fully off the deep end. This is the first (and therefore, currently, best) BSCC live show! Avoid this one if you're scandalized by wine crimes.

Ann’s back with a whole lot more snow and a rare and surprising tribute to the heroic men who are so often unsung in these novels – He-Man’s friend Man-E-Faces, Jason X (or “Space Jason”), the Mouse King, Quint, and of course Logan Bruno, the dreamiest boy on two skis. Meanwhile, Stacey gets trapped in a car, Kristy has to hide her pajamas from Bart, and the horrifying Hounds of Tindalos are back again to drain your fluids with their hollow proboscises. And a brand new rule in the Wandering Frog People game! This one’s jam-packed.

Y’all ready for this? Tanner wasn’t, because he lost his notes. But honestly what decent person could truly be prepared to say goodbye to Kristy and leave her to the purging flames that Ann is preparing for the final novel in the Sitters’ Cycle? Only a monster would even ask the question. It’s not all doom and gloom though, because Kristy is as luminescent as ever in this book, bravely taking on Ann’s greatest fear even as her world closes in on her in a cataclysm of supervillains, dinosaurs, and sentient birds. Also, explicit warning: Arm stuff.

It’s an Evil Episode this week, folks. Everything that should be right-side-up is upside down. Everything that should be clockwise is widdershins, and everything that should be “hoorah!” is just “Wa.” What does that mean for you? Well, for one thing the (Evil) boys talk about sports. A lot. And Bib Fortuna. And there’s an ancient evil lurking deep in Stoneybrook’s past that is reaching out its tendrils through the clocks to collapse time and space and swallow the BSC in the nameless void. So, not all that different from a non-evil episode, but please do be very careful with this one.

The boys originally wanted to buy themselves a week to figure out what they’re going to do now that they’re out of Super Special books, but boy did they have fun watching the Baby-Sitters Club movie, or as Jack repeatedly called it, “the book.” Ann, Dalene, and Susan DeSanto confirmed so many popular theories this week, and they did so VISUALLY. Economy of Holes! Bread theory! Living Dolls! Bees! Magical Owls! All that and more!

Hey look now they're super heros, armed with super powers… [Mums: ”Cool!”] ...taken from a comic strip and now they're Beetleboys. [Count Fangula: “BEETLEBOYS!”] Big Bad Beetleboys. Big Bad Beetleboys.

Extra long episode this week, Baby Nation! Tanner is back from a week in Germany, and for some reason, the boys thought it’d be a good decision to do a late night record while Tanner was still reeling from the effects of jet lag, so Jack has a really hard time keeping this one on the rails. There’s A LOT of singing. Too much singing. Sorry for all the singing. Stacey (with a soft ‘c’) or Stacey (with a hard ‘c’) (we’re not sure how it’s pronounced) has a run in with some bad girls who invite her into the seedy underworld of dingleberriness, and once it starts, the red, red wine never stops flowing. Also, we’re calling Robert the Brewdoggy now, and Stacey Sweet Toots McGill.

Stacey’s chopper is down and she’s missing in the jungles of Hawaii. Meanwhile, back in Stoneybrook, Mallory has alienated a potential client by mishandling a tantrum. Are these two crises treated with equal gravity and concern in this novel? Yes. Because this is the Baby-Sitters Club, and, frankly, Stacey is expendable. Fair warning: This one’s rated R, not just because of the helicopter carnage, but because there is a surprising amount of Arm Stuff, and some EXTREMELY enlightening new rules for the delicate dance known as Da Bonky. Have fun and be careful!

The boys are elbows deep in Boethius this week as they take a trip with Kristy and the Krashers to a mansion that is haunted by the angry, vengeful ghost of The Patriarchy itself. Meanwhile, the Pike boys are living backwards, Mary Anne finds a runaway bride in a sewing shop, and a couple of experts drop by to offer their thoughtful, modern, and inspired expertise in what is sure to become an instant classic segment for our most fashion forward listeners. As usual, a surprising and possibly unwelcome amount of poetry, and this week … some insight into what may have happened on those fateful days leading up to June 10.

Here come the bridesmaids, and there goes our sense of basically everything that is right and decent, because Tanner decided we needed to read a Super Special, OUT OF ORDER, this week to make sense of whatever the hell is going on in our next BSC book, Kristy and Mr. Mom. So here we are at this "coast 2 coast wedding orgy," with plenty of brides but not quite enough bridesmaids, as Mary Anne is about to discover to her eternal dismay. All that being said, Ann is kind of burying the lede here, because something else is coming in this book, something that is vastly more frightening and dangerous than even the most diabolical of bridesmaids. Though, to be fair, if she’d called this one “Here Comes the Terror Clown,” it might have hurt the sales a bit. Enjoy!

#swoon alert, Baby Nation! There’s a hunky new single dad in Stoneybrook this week, and of course his name is John! Though, you probably know his as J.B. Angel, the spirit of vengeance. There’s also more mean memes than you could have ever possibly wanted, but the boys packed them into the episode regardless!

This is a time for sobriety and reflection as the boys gaze bravely into oblivion. Shattered by the loss of a dear, innocent friend who was betrayed by those who should have protected him, they must step forward, alone, into a future devoid of Super Specials. But before they do, a loving look back at this really great final book! Jessi has committed a series of cold-blooded murders, Alan Gray’s joined the Stoneybrook Liberation Front, and Kristy’s doing kissing and arm stuff with a Canadian! This is Pete Lerangis’s swan song and his magnum opus and it is so much better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Shadow Lake holds many mysteries – including a disappearing family that haunts its islands and a big scary monster that lurks in in its depths – but Stacey McGill and Sam Thomas’s fiery, tumultuous romance is the biggest, juiciest mystery of all. Why is Stacey interested in Sam even though he insists on calling her “Dahling”? Why has Hodges painted Stacey with a pained grimace on her face as she and Sam dance? The boys dig into these pressing questions, with a short break to say a painful goodbye to a sad, old aquatic friend. Recommended reading this week: The 12th Century “Chansons de Geste” (preferably in the Old French), Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales” and “Troilus and Criseyde,” and “1,001 Email Closings and Valedictions,” by Flavio Olcese. Also: It’s UGC week this week, so don’t blame any of these segments on the boys.

It’s the crossover episode everyone’s been waiting for – the boys welcome Kristin Russo from Buffering the Vampire Slayer to talk about the demon Logan Bruno, whether Stoneybrook is built on a hellmouth, and Tanner’s favorite Buffy character, Gilbert. Meanwhile, the baby-sitters have lost yet another charge, Alan Gray is completely out of control, and new facts emerge about Kristy’s dad in the most mysterious BSC mystery yet.

The boys invent a nifty little machine in their garage that creates a time loop which will allow them to go all the way back to 1995 and attempt to foil a nefarious plot by Baby-Sitters Club ghostwriter Jeanne Betancourt to make it seem like she came up with all of the BSC lore before anyone else did. And it all goes horribly, horribly, horribly wrong.

Lobstrosities, Clone People, a malevolent Cloud AI ... and they’re all converging on the sweet, sweet feet of the sweetest Baby-Sitters Club Ghostwriter we know. But that’s not even the worst of it. The worst of it is that there’s only two guys who can stop it, and they’re Time Babies. This godforsaken mess (and more!) is what you get when the boys attempt to read about the ancient past of the BSC in the pages of the Portrait Collection. This week, “Stacey’s Book.” Strap in.

Daddy and Tanner get some expert help as they navigate the sparse and unforgiving terrain they seem to have navigated themselves into after finishing the Baby-Sitters Club Mysteries. With no birds interested in taking them, and no more guidance from the ethereal voices of Ann M. Martin and Elle Fanning, desperation has set in as the boys wander, naked and bewildered, in the desert. And to make matters worse, they're starting to get hungry ...

OK, so someone called “Elle Fanning” went back and changed a bunch of things in this one, but you know what she couldn’t hide? THE TRUTH. This week, on a very special episode of the Baby-Sitters Club Audio Club, the boys are going back to where it all started, except this time they’re actually LISTENING. And guess what they find out? That every single thing they ever suspected about these books was right, and nobody – least of all Elle Fanning – is going to keep that from coming out. Anyway, Kristy’s back having the idea for the Baby-Sitters Club again in this one and getting ready to do the whole thing all over again and it’s frankly pretty wonderful.

An illuminating peek inside the writing process of the mysterious Vicki Berger Erwin, this scintillating episode takes you where no other Baby-Sitters Club criticism has ever dared: Into the eye of the furious storm that is created when a BSC ghostwriter at the top of her abilities is unshackled and given free reign to make art that will change us forever. Anyway, this art has Mary Anne in it, and weirdly, Edgar Allen Poe, and also lots of birds and if there are any bird scientists out there, we desperately need your help.

Someone stole a bag from Stacey, but more importantly, someone stole Pete Black's heart, and we're not going to rest until they're behind bars where they belong. Meanwhile, Cary Retlin is stealing the show with his breathtaking coolness, Ellen Miles is stealing every single BSC B-Plot by having Kristy throw together some kind of Baby Parade, and Hodges Soileau is stealing Stacey's hair, which is troubling to say the least. Anyway, the primary mystery this week is that some Valentines have gone missing, and Stacey McGill is on the case. Unclear whether we cover any of that in the episode.

Art is a mystery, and the mystery we read this week was certainly a work of art because this week’s mystery was surging with VBE ENERGY! That’s right, Vicki Berger Erwin is back at the helm of the BSC books once again, so expect a lot of intrigue, villainy, strange POVs from dogs, and historical true crime. And it’s not just the scintillating book itself that will keep you on the edge of your seat, because this week’s episode is quite an affair… a Thomas Crown Affair. (Which I only mention because Jack didn’t seem to know the film and we shot by it pretty quickly.) Also, if anyone has seen or heard from Liz or Carys please let them know that we miss them and hope they come back to the show soon.

Mary Anne discovered the freaking LAMENT CONFIGURATION in a wall this week and all hell quite literally broke loose. Meanwhile, the DeWitts are building an extension on their house, which, as a B-plot, doesn’t quite live up to the chills and thrills of the A-plot, but it’s certainly something to think about. Oh, and there’s a Sailor/Ghost. But don’t worry, this episode is not all scares – it’s also surprisingly sexy?

“A sense of endearing honesty permeates this episode, which is far more than anyone can say about Jack and Tanner’s subsequent work. It’s a shame that they decided not to continue down the path of laid-back, twangy roots podcasting, but alas, the taste of “BSCMC 030 - Kristy and the Train Mystery’s” success on the podcast charts proved to be too much to resist. Jack and Tanner’s podcasting contemporaries like the Wallflowers and Counting Crows ended up more-or-less fading from the spotlight by the turn of the century, so maybe they made the right financial decision. But more than anything, I can sum this podcast up as a sort of a snapshot – a snapshot of two talented, undiscovered podcasters trying to make the best podcast they can make, before the power of record labels and the allure of popularity inevitably took their toll.”

Meanwhile, Kristy is busy BLAZING a trail that the KIND people of STONEYbrook will never forget. It’s about weed. Oh, and Ellen Miles has a chilling message for the boys.

To paraphrase Joe Pantoliano’s character Cypher in The Matrix, “You know, I know this mystery doesn’t exist. I know that when I put it in my eyes, Ellen Miles is telling my brain that it is intriguing and cryptic. After four years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.” That’s right, there was arguably no mystery once again in this week’s Baby-Sitters Club Mystery book, much like how the film Three Men and a Baby is not a fun romp about three men raising a baby, but instead a gritty action film about drugs and the mafia, but we loved both regardless of how far they may have missed the mark.

'Tis the season for lighthouse ghosts, alien beehives, and AI-enabled thermonuclear devastation, and there's only one person in the whole wide world who could bring you all of that and more wrapped up in a (technically) Holiday-themed Baby-Sitters Club book. So if you detect a hint of exuberance in the boys' voices this week it's either because this scintillating novel is a beautiful gift, or it’s not exuberance at all but incipient panic about the fact that we just found out for certain that ghosts are real. Sorry. Scare warning. Anyway, Claudia and Janine both have eyes for this hunk named Steve and ghosts are real and a boy died. Enjoy!

It’s an undercover episode, by which we mean, it’s a totally normal episode and not really different in any way from any other episode of the show, according to Ellen’s definition of “undercover” apparently. But don’t worry, we take Ellen to task, and so does Hodges, weirdly. There actually seems to be a lot of bad blood between Ellen and Hodges and we’re not going to take sides. Also, there’s an exciting new segment/Gothic prom for your fridge fetishists out there!

Who likes mysteries? We hope you do, because it’s time to get wet, wild, and wiggly for some horny mystery action with Nola, who's back, stacked, and Thacker than ever! Light spoilers in this one for Medieval European History, the fall of Rome, and parts of The Canterbury Tales. Oh and a teeny, tiny Scare Warning because of the bats and the patriotic witches, and because Kristy peers deep into the darkest part of her soul at a memory that she wishes would stay buried. But mostly this one’s just wet, wild, wiggly, and, as we mentioned, horny. Enjoy!

Huge news this week, Riddlebabies. We think we uncovered the origins of *69, and it’s way raunchier than you probably imagined. (Also, for younger listeners, we don’t have time to explain *69, so just Google it.) Also, Cyril makes an extended appearance and gives a middling performance (at best) saying “why why.” Oh, and there was a BSC Mystery book somewhere in there. We touch on it a bit.

Disclaimer: MANY pumpkins were harmed in the making of this episode. In fact, this one is mostly just moments of silence for all the pumpkins that didn't make it, so maybe you can use it as, like, a meditation app or something.

It’s Abby’s first mystery, which means we’re hurtling at 99% of the speed of light toward the messy end of this thing wherein the birds eat our souls and The Gray Man who is behind it all nods once, lights a cigarette, and walks into the sunset. But there’s no time to think about that because this one’s very complicated! Ann and Ellen killed a man, Sergeant Johnson is more than willing to put a bunch of teens in mortal danger to solve the crime, and Cary Retlin just wants to watch the world burn.
