American Girl Women

by Laura Tretter + Lindsey Adams Franke

American Girl Women is a podcast where two millennial gals gather ‘round the microphone and reminisce on the cultural phenomenon that took our childhoods by storm: American Girl Dolls. Contrary to what you might think, we aren't just talking about dolls here. We're diving into the high highs and low lows of getting hooked on AG and all the childhood memories that come flooding back. Plus, we're forever discussing the iconic AG catalog—the most treasured piece of literature to ever grace our mailboxes. If you're still bitter about not getting Samantha's brass bed, if you sent Kirsten to the doll hospital for a botched hair cut after taking out her braids, or if every winter you dream of Addy's Christmas dress, join us + our guests each Tuesday. Send us your AG stories below! americangirlwomen@gmail.com IG:@americangirlwomen
