  • Interesting guests and themes

    Recently started listening on my commute, and I really like the genres it sticks to, as well as the host having insightful commentary. I only wish the audio were a bit better. I try to listen to this when commuting and have to crank up the volume all the way because the audio is more soft than other podcasts. Perfect for in the house but maybe not on the road.

Beyond book stacks she explores important issues such as literacy, critical thinking, and how it impacts our daily lives. Her love of the library is infectious. And her joy in the genres that she is in offers you... more
