This week’s podcast is about two kerfuffles: the Booker Prize one<\/a> and the one between King County Library and Macmillan.<\/a> There’s also some discussion as to why UK book culture allows for critique and small voices to be heard (vs. the American way in which everything is\u00a0fine<\/em>), Chad goes on and on about On Becoming a God in Central<\/em> Florida<\/em>, Tom inadvertently recommends\u00a0The Invented Part<\/em>, and everyone sounds tired and beatdown. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

This week’s music is “Stars Are the Light<\/a>” by Moon Duo from the album of the same name.<\/p>\n
