Miss Rebekah and Miss Ing from the Shaler North Hills Library reflect on a headline from the past week through wit, wisdom and song. If you are news junkie, a fan of literature, a library lover, a friend of the spotted owl, a devotee of asparagus, you have found the podcast you had previously known only in your dreams. If you enjoy their daily programs for children at the library or on facebook.com/shalerlibrary, this podcast is just for you. Why should the kids be the only ones subjected to such ridiculousness?
