Episode 6: Book Books 11.06.2021 36:33

Tana is back and together we discuss things for which we have a bit of a soft spot: book books. Whether it's a book about a bookstore or a library, the people who work in them are like cousins to us, and we love reading about our people. We're only scratching the surface with this list, but it's a good tasting if you're a booklover and looking to connect with characters who are also booklovers. Pa...

Episode 5: Meat, Mental Health, Hope & Tentacles 28.05.2021 28:29

Something we all share, no matter who or where you are, is the planet Earth, and Steve is going to chat with me today about three of his favorite books about the environment. I learned so much from these books, it took a while to process everything I was given, and I see changes in the way I live each day thanks to what I read. I invite you to be inspired by these books, to leave a lighter footpri...

Episode 4: Spies, Treasures, Trains & Doorways 14.05.2021 21:02

Recommendations for things you can get from a library aren't just limited to books anymore! My library has an entire section of board games and even if your library doesn't have games, they are easily obtainable from online or bigger chain department stores. Marina is here, our resident gaming expert, and she has three games to recommend that are fun for the whole family. Codenames Forbidden Islan...

Episode 3: Dames, Damsels, Digging Up Fossils & Big Foot 28.04.2021 18:44

If chick lit is a thing, then dude lit definitely is as well. Whether it's modern or historic, novels that are male-centric and feature non-stop action and adventure, violence, and the all-round tough guy are standard dude lit fare. Today Nick is going to introduce us to three books that easily qualify as dude lit, and we're going to visit the Old West twice, and the 1920s noir. There will be guns...

Episode 2: A Dog Cop, Superhero Legacy, Wolves, and Ordinary People 24.04.2021 20:00

Yolanda joins me to discuss and recommend three children's graphic novels that are not only great for newer/reluctant readers, but for teens and adults as well. Yolanda didn't see that there was a theme among her titles, so is it a coincidence that she chose all stories about unusual heroes and their struggles, doing the right thing and staying true to themselves? Dog Man by Dav Pilkey The Green L...

Episode 1: Haenyeo, Spies, Ghosts & the Spirit World 09.04.2021 35:41
