Episode 47
Thursday, 26 June, 2025
In this episode, we dive headfirst into the raw, surreal, and unforgettable world of Cruddy by Lynda Barry. Part coming-of-age, part fever dream, Barry’s cult classic is a dark, jagged tale told through the scrawled notebook of a teenage girl named Roberta. We unpack its haunting narrative, twisted humour, and graphic novel-style illustrations—exploring how trauma, truth, and storytelling bleed into each other in this unforgettable text.
