MaYaND 010: CB 10: The Password to Larkspur Lane

Me and You and Nancy Drew Episode 010-Classic Book Episode 10: The Password to Larkspur Lane (1966) by Carolyn Keene!

In this episode (which we are re-releasing since Spotify didn’t jive with our RSS feed for the initial release, for some reason), Meghan and Colleen discuss silverware-themed phone greetings, hot milk errands, and how to swan dive well enough to become a camp counselor, as well as the actual contents of The Password to Larkspur Lane (1966)!

Correction: In this episode, Colleen confidently states that “con man” is short for “confidence man.” That part is true, but Colleen got the reason for this name wrong; rather than the scammer being so confident, as Colleen says in this episode, it’s because the original 1840s con men would decide on a wealthy mark to scam, pretend that they knew that person, have a conversation with them for a while as if they were old friends, then ask their “old friend” if they had the confidence to, say, lend their watch to the scammer. The con man would then take the watch and never return.
