Ladies Who Library

It's been a minute, but we're back with a Very Spooky Episode! Join us as we discover Beth's true feelings about the game Battleship, Anita's lost career as a teen hip-hop sensation, and why Erin thinks Nostradamus is kind of a large jerk.

Erin and Anita welcome the brilliant author Jessica McHugh and her husband Dave. Join us as we cover everything from professional cuddlers to pooping on the company dime!

Anita, Beth, and Erin recap the hellscape that was the Year 2016. Listen up to hear how Anita became a muppet, Erin pitches Cruella DeVille: The College Years, Beth (like hope) floats, and we speculate on how we'll survive the next four years -- even without that Daniel Craig money.

Nay and Beth join Erin as we head back to school! We discuss grad school, the difference between online courses and meeting face to face, and then the whole thing falls apart when Erin starts talking about her newfound affinity for bad Nicolas Cage movies as her guests look on in horror.

Jon, husband of Librarian Beth and devoted library user, joins Erin to discuss what it's like to be married to a librarian! Jon talks about the time he was the victim of identity theft, being a library user and advocate, and how Star Trek makes him want to be a better person.

Krista joins Erin, Beth, and Anita to talk about graphic novels and comic books. Something for everyone in this episode, whether you're into cooking, fantasy, memoirs, coding, or boobs (and much, much more) you don't want to miss this episode!

If you're looking for a Hamilton intervention, you won't find it here. Join Erin, Beth, and Anita as they discuss ole one-tooth George Washington, the world's greatest treasure (Chris Gaines), and Hot Air Balloon Sex. Oh yeah, and HAMILTON!

Wes joins us from Kentucky as we talk about what we've been reading, what it takes to get on a flight at the Nashville airport, and filming a horror movie in the library!

What happened to Episode 11? Erin sums up the debacle and we all try to move on with our lives.

Something spooky's going down now! Beth and Anita join known Scaredy-Cat Erin to dish on all things Halloween!

Erin and Anita admit to their current guilty pleasures. Whether it be makeup tutorials on youtube, 1970s musicals, singing your heart out in the car, or Party Down South, this episode covers any number of embarrassments. Bonus clip: new mic testing at the beginning! Apologies for the few seconds of audio weirdness at minute 26.

Erin S. and Naomi join Erin G. and Anita as we talk all things LGBTQ+ and libraries! The serious subject matter often turns to giggles as we discuss the metallic farts of vintage chairs, Naomi's geriatric-sized font on her notes, and our varying crushes and non-crushes on OINTB's Ruby Rose. Happy Pride Month!

Greg Sestero sat down to talk about his book, The Disaster Artist, his role in the 2003's The Room, what he's currently reading and watching (Lifetime movies, anyone?), and what's next for him. Please excuse the loud white noise from my air conditioner, as well as the occasional meow from my cat, Don, who was just as charmed with Greg as we were. This podcast also features the inimitable Anita Crawford!

Nick and Erika join the podcast as they visit from way out yonder in Colorado! We go over their origin stories, the cool things they're piloting in their system, and how they can wow the audience at the Computers in Libraries conference in DC (hint, headlocks may or may not be involved). Tune in for the out-of-state guests, stay for the variety of book, TV, music, and movie recommendations at the end!

Our first guybrarian, band, and husband & wife duo! Chris & Jenna talk about the similarities between teaching and librarying, Elephant & Piggie, and their latest album, "Waiting to Begin." Bonus: a conversation about the embarrassing AOL Instant Messanger screen names we had in middle school!

We hear Beth's origin story, our top picks for 2014, Anita's concern with some costuming choices of the stage version of Into the Woods, Erin's Pat O'Brien impression, our mutual annoyance with acapella groups, and how boring vampires probably are in real life.

It's the first episode of Ladies Who Library! In this one, Erin basically talks to herself, belches, brushes her hair, and talks about her plans for the future of this podcast!

Erin and Anita discuss The Room and The Disaster Artist at length, what they're currently watching, Erin's current obsession with Jang Dong Gun and all things Korean, and the nerve of Toby Keith to still create music.

Anita and Erin talk about what they're currently reading and watching, Anita's library origin story, kooky author photos, and their trip to Owensboro, Kentucky to meet other cool librarians and Greg Sestero, as well as attend a public screening of The Room
