    Who knew that two librarians could create such an amazing show about the Olympics and Paralympics?? I’m actually not surprised because every librarian I know is vastly interesting and interested in the world. You won’t hear the same sports content you hear everywhere else! And, as a disabled athlete and former Paralympian, I’m thrilled to hear the sports and athletes of the Paralympics discussed with the same depth and nuance as their counterparts in the Olympics. Thanks!!!
