Send us a Text Message.We discuss Mallory's nonfic pick, I'll Be Gone In the Dark by Michelle McNamara. Be warned, this book and also podcast episode will contain mentions of murder, rape, stalking, and also just general assault. Despite this, I think this is likely one of the best true crime novels I've ever read. It is handled with care, respect, and does not glorify anything that happened, nor the murderer.

Send us a Text Message.Don't worry, it'll make sense soon enough. We discuss The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, which was Ariel's Deep Dive pick.

Send us a Text Message.He ain't Appalachian because he's appaLACKIN'.We have recorded one scathing review of JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, from the POV of some *actual* Appalachian natives.

Send us a Text Message.... Respectfully, though. 👀In this episode, Zac and Carla unearth just how big a bite they tried to take out of Indian culture, and found the spice* count to be super high. Lol, but really, we hope we've done adequate justice to what is a vivid, complex, and ever-growing religion/mythos. This episode should be seen as a lil nugget, a sort of starting point for those who wish to learn more, and not as expert opinion, fact, or otherwise supremely educated stance.&nbs...

Send us a Text Message.Snuggling sea creatures, or suffocating them? With octopuses, you never know! While discussing The Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery, we cover quite a lot, including how their intelligence equals that of a cat. Every chaos cat you ever knew.

Send us a Text Message.We bring Nick from the You Tried Dat?? podcast in to join the chaos with a book chat and snacks. There will be crunchies and bag crinkling, in case you don't like eating sounds.Mallory here editing, and let me just say, I gave the pepperoni roll chips an immediate Hate Dat rating upon my return from under all of the snow. Guh-ROSS! And I love pepperoni rolls. -10 stars. I am sad I missed this episode, but not sad y'all didn't have to hear me loudly hate that I had...

Send us a Text Message.Join us on part 2 of our deep dive into This is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar.

Send us a Text Message.We open part 1 of 2 for our discussion of This Is How You Lose the Time War and only slightly wander completely off the path maybe once. Be nice to us, none of us had a working brain this day. We blame time travelling. Being all timey-wimey like that had us all mixed up!

Pretty please do us a solid and follow us at our new one, updated in all of our descriptions here, if you followe...

Send us a Text Message.Chaos reigned alongside Carla in our last General Book Chat of 2023, and we have our beloved Library Board of Trustees President Suzy back on to join the fun. Want the outtakes? I saved them, and am holding them ransom to the tune of a cool million dollars. Just kidding, I'll put them up on our socials, so you only gotta find us to find them. I mean, I won't turn down that milli, just in case we got a library sugar daddy out there, though. Speaking of socials...Make sur...
Send us a Text Message.Bet you were expecting something like fiction, yeah? Well, you're getting Out of Place Artifacts (OOPArts) instead! Today's Curiosity & Conspiracy covers some interesting finds, so hop in and buckle up for what is probably the quietest episode Mallory & Ariel have been part of so far.
