Jackie On:
with Jackie Fassbender
Ep. 6 From the Archives
In the sixth episode of Jackie On:, Jackie reads two of her essays from middle school and provides a little bit of context and narrative on them. The one and only episode featuring middle school Jackie and her budding opinions.
As a note, the first essay is on Animal Farm while the second essay is on To Kill a Mockingbird.
The only source for this is Jackie herself. And whatever middle school Jackie tried to cite.
Ep. 5 Electric Scooters
In the fifth episode of Jackie On:, Jackie explains her disdain for the electric scooter as it’s used on college campuses through four different reasons: legality, danger, necessity, and stupidity.
Don’t be that guy, stay away from the electric scooters!
