Episode 170 - Gender Theory & Gender Studies

A Readers’ Advisory Podcast about becoming better library staff by reading every genre, whether we like them or not!Every month we read books from a new, randomly picked genre; then on the podcast we discuss our reading choices, experiences, opinions, appeal factors, and other related topics as friends and library workers.

After listening for a year, I have really enjoyed the open discussion that often can vary in perspective. Adds to the quality of the experience with these librarians who are in different areas but share a clear love of books and literature.

Like sitting in on a knowledgeable book club

I listened to several episodes of this podcast as I am always trying to find great podcasts over literature. These individuals cover different genres of literature but offer no information for listeners. They do not discuss tropes, elements or great authors in a particular genre. They just make up stuff off the top of their head. Most of them do not even read books from their chosen topic episode. You can only hear “So I read one page of this book...and this type of lit sucks” before you angrily stop listening. Self absorbed poorly researched hosts. A bad podcast.

Episode 068 - Best of 2018

It’s our 73rd episode and we’re talking about Reading Habits! We discuss reader robes, the worst things we’ve spilled on books, getting motion sick while reading on vehicles, using things as bookmarks, when not to donate books to the library, and judging people by their bookshelves. Plus: Aeroplane and other vehicle noises! You can download the podcast  directly, find it on Libsyn, or get it through  iTunes,  Stitcher,  Google Play, Spotify, or your favourite podcast delivery system. In this episode Anna Ferri | Meghan Whyte | Matthew Murray | RJ Edwards Questions  What is your background as a reader? (early, late, family tradition, core identity, fun hobby, professional requirement) When do you read? (specific to work or pleasure? type of reading?) Where do you read? (in public, a specific chair, on transit, audio books in car, etc) How many books do you read at the same time? Do you track your reading? (take part in challenges or reading marathons? have quotas per type of reading material?) How do you choose what you read next? What do you do with books when you’re done with them? (bookshelves, ebooks) give to friends? leave on benches? fill donation bins/little free libraries? rebuy copies you lent to friends and never got back? Do you mark up your books, highlight, take notes, dogear, get sand in them at the beach?  Media We Mention   Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce  War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy    Episode 006 - Books in Translation    Essential Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man, Vol. 1  White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo  Links, Articles, and Things  Goodreads 24in48 Readathon  Book Riot's 2019 Read Harder Challenge Queer Book Club  Episode 042 - Childhood Favourites  Suggest new genres!

Episode 092 - Arts (Non-Fiction)

This month we’re reading Steampunk! We talk about the history of the genre, umbrella fights, boring white men, colonialization, graphic novel adaptations, werewolf sex, good vs bad worldbuilding, and Matthew made a spreadsheet and did some math (of course…). You can download the podcast directly, find it on Libsyn, or get it through  iTunes,  Stitcher,  Google Play, Spotify, or your favourite podcast delivery system.
