SRSLY #68: The Gilmore Girls Special

In honour of the forthcoming Netflix revival, we devote a whole hour to the world of Gilmore Girls.

By Caroline Crampton

This is SRSLY, the pop culture podcast from the New Statesman. Here, you can find links to all the things we talk about in the show as well as a bit more detail about who we are and where else you can find us online.

Listen using the player below. . .

. . .or subscribe in iTunes. We’re also on StitcherRSS and SoundCloud – but if you use a podcast app that we’re not appearing in, let us know.

SRSLY is usually hosted by Caroline Crampton and Anna Leszkiewicz, the NS’s web editor and editorial assistant. We’re on Twitter as @c_crampton and @annaleszkie, where between us we post a heady mixture of Serious Journalism, excellent gifs and regularly ask questions J K Rowling needs to answer.

Our guests for this trip to Stars Hollow were: Pinja Saarikoski, the subscriptions assistant at the New Statesman; Barbara Speed, former SRSLY guest and the comment editor at the newspaper; and Laura Snapes, a writer for many places including the Guardian and Pitchfork.

The Links

Start the new year with a New Statesman subscription from only £8.99 per month.

All seven series of Gilmore Girls are available on Netflix.

If you don’t have time to watch it all before 25 November (I mean, what else are you up to?) this is a good recap and ranking of every series.

To put your name on the waiting list for the SRSLY Gilmore Girls Quiz, which takes place on 22 November, go here.

And if you enjoyed the special episode vibe, we recommend checking out our ones on FriendsLove, Actually and Harry Potter.

Next week

We’ll be back with a regular episode on 22 November, for which Caroline is reading Rookie’s Infinity Diaries.

If you’d like to talk to us about the podcast or make a suggestion for something we should read or cover, you can email srslypod[at]gmail.com.

You can also find us on Twitter @srslypod, or send us your thoughts on tumblr here. If you like the podcast, we’d love you to leave a review on iTunes – this helps other people come across it.

We love reading out your emails. If you have thoughts you want to share on anything we’ve discussed, or questions you want to ask us, please email us on srslypod[at]gmail.com, or @ us on Twitter @srslypod, or get in touch via tumblr here. We also have Facebook now.
