Canada3 months ago - The Librarians
The episode of the Librarians was the first podcast that made me cry. Librarians are truly unsung heroes, and to listen to the verbal and online abuse she has encountered was heartbreaking. Keep up the great work - you are truly making a difference in the lives of all of us - especially children. It is of the utmost importance to protect our first amendment rights, and you are leading the charge - thank you!
Apple Podcasts5Sewbusy17United States3 months ago - English teachers!
Perhaps consider interviewing the people who are often the first to awaken the love of reading: English teachers. Middle school. High School. Lots of undersung heroes out there.
Also-would suggest Katie be kinder and less insulting to her father. Our parents are only with us so long. The near constant mean teasing is tiresome.

Kate and Charlie consistently recommend present titles and authors worth reading. Their interviews are like warm, thoughtful conversations with trusted friends. I look forward to listening every Thursday. Richard Osman and Virginia Evans are my new favorite authors. Thank you, Kate and Charlie 😊⭐️
