Hi Steve,
Longtime listener. Just want to say I’m really enjoying the summer author series, especially the read-alike suggestions and Novelist tips.
Kirsten
Librarian in Ontario.
Thank to Steve for giving a voice to librarians & the issues that impact our communities!
Steve’s thoughtfulness shines through in each episode and I always find a gem (or several) in every discussion. Although library-centric, people in government, education, and evening social services professions will also benefit from list being this podcast.
Steve always picks great guests and topics to discuss. I am not a librarian, but I still find this show fascinating and look forward to hearing the variety of educational and intellectual voices on the pod. I highly encourage anyone who is interested in library science, education, publishing, or cultural discussion to give this a listen.
The more podcasts like this, the better off we will all be.
This is quintessential listening to librarians and those who are interested in the library field. Steve is a great interviewer with excellent guests.
