Welcome back to LMLD! We begin the episode by sharing our "lights" of the week. Then, we go into the topic which is inspired by our mixed feelings in regards to the mask mandate being lifted in the state of Illinois. We reflect on all the ways we have struggled through all the variety of changes during the pandemic and what this next chapter really looks like. In addition, we discuss more broadly why we have a hard time with change and specific instances where it could be more of a struggle than others. Although we didn't really reach a conclusion with anything we said, it definitely felt good to put all our thoughts out there. Then, we concluded the episode by sharing what we're into for the week. Conclusion: we really hate change...let us know we're not alone!

Shandy is back from her 3-week vacation and has lots of stories to share! To help her catch up on what's been going on in America over the past 30 days since we last recorded, Colleen and Dennis have created a little quiz for her, called "The Last 30 Days of Donald Trump News." The Broads have put a new policy into place when it comes to feedback and at the very end, Colleen tells a story that brings the podcast full circle, all the way back to a Season 1 joke that has now become reality.Feedback: TheBroadcasters3@gmail.com or 331-BROADS3 (331-276-2373)Links from Show:This is How It Always Is: https://amzn.to/2ZpbPHNMagic for Liars: https://amzn.to/3456fZAPose on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80241986Ep. 1.31 "Trudeau!"

Meredith and Kaytee are back in your earbuds to chat Non-Fiction and some other really wonderful titles! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: a bookish candle and IRL friendships that are reading more. Next, we tackle what we are currently reading, just two titles from each of us so we have time to talk about 50 thousand additional books! Our deep-dive this week centers on some of our favorite non-fiction genres! We throw a whole metric crap-ton of titles at you to get you started in the non-fiction world, if that seems to be a place that you’re lacking. Every one of these titles have been vetted by one or both of us (along with many others that we’ve mentioned in past episodes), and we are all about you picking them up! As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. This week we have some beautiful fiction as well as a great and FUN contemporary mystery.

As I have shared in the past, I have read most of Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club Picks over the past year. Some of the book highlighted include: Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman, Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton and The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo. In this episode, I am highlighting  August through October’s picks. There was a total winner in this pick and a dud so hopefully this will make it an interesting episode. BOOKS MENTIONED:  Still Lives by Maria Hummel Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens  This is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel  Visit the What to Read Next Blog for past show archives and other book recommendations.   

October 8th is Indigenous Peoples Day in Lawrence (and in several other cities across the country). To celebrate the occasion -- and because it looked flippin awesome -- Polli and Kate discuss There There, a brilliant debut novel by Tommy Orange (Cheyenne and Arapaho). Spoiler: it was flippin awesome.  Show notes: https://lplks.org/blogs/post/031-the-one-in-which-we-ostensibly-sing/ ("Hey, what happened to episode 30?" Hey! Good eye! We are... workin on it!

Bookish News: LitHub came out with a list 23 Literary Movies and TV shows that will be coming out shortly!

Tommy Orange is a part of the latest renaissance of Native American Literature, fighting against "a monolithic version of what a Native American is supposed to be." (Quote comes from an interview that we'd recommend reading after you read the novel!) If you’re looking for something to read to remember why Columbus Day is being changed to Indigenous Peoples Day in more progressive cities, this is it.
