Across 2 podcasts. Every show Caroline Fraser appears on, in one place — not just one.
Caroline Fraser appears on literary and discussion-based podcasts such as The Book Review and The Joe Rogan Experience to talk about biographical research, American literary history, and iconic book series. With a scholarly focus on authors like Laura Ingalls Wilder, Fraser discusses the editorial processes and historical contexts behind enduring children's literature and true crime writing. During her podcast discussions, she mentioned Ann Rule and her pioneering book about Ted Bundy, establishing a connection to true crime narratives. Much of her conversation focused on her extensive work editing the Library of America's edition of the Little House books, an opportunity that allowed her to revisit the series and ultimately sparked her own biographical writing. Fraser walked listeners through the bibliography of Wilder's works, noting that the series comprised eight volumes published during the author's lifetime, beginning with the children's book Little House in the Big Woods, incorporating the husband-focused volume Farmer Boy, and extending to posthumously published works such as The First Four Years, which appeared in the 1970s and detailed the early hardships of homesteading life.
