This week, I talk with Amanda Jones, a dedicated small-town Louisiana librarian, about the challenges she faces in her fight against book banning and censorship. She discusses her passion for literature, the importance of representation in books, the defamatory posts about her that spread like wildfire, and the impact of misinformation on community perceptions.

[REBROADCAST FROM Oct 3, 2025] Director Kim A. Snyder discusses her new documentary called "The Librarians," which explores the role of libraries and the people who run them in today's politically fraught atmosphere. Focusing on librarians in Texas, responding to efforts to ban books about race and the LGBTQIA+ experience, the film illuminates a key angle in the conflict over access to information and art, and library patrons' so-called 'freedom to read.' Plus, New Jersey librarian Martha Hickson, who is featured in the film, shares her experiences and insights.

Our final episode of the year invites listeners into the life and legacy of U Thant, the longest‑serving Secretary‑General of the United Nations and a quiet architect of peace during some of the most dangerous moments of the Cold War. Drawing on the perspective of historian Thant Myint‑U, his grandson, the conversation revisits U Thant's role in crises such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Congo, showing how his calm, principled diplomacy helped steer the world away from catastrophe. Grounded in Buddhist ethics and a deep belief in multilateral cooperation, U Thant's leadership connected decolonization, social justice, and environmental concern long before these agendas were widely recognized on the global stage. Through archival stories and family memories, the episode explores how his example can inform efforts today to organize peace and renew trust in international institutions, as we reimagine the UN's potential in a fractured world.

In this episode, internationally recognized teacher librarian and Future Ready Librarians spokesperson Shannon McClintock Miller returns to share insights on the newly updated Future Ready Librarians Framework 3.0. With a focus on empowering learners and leading from the library, Shannon highlights the expanded role of librarians in today's dynamic educational landscape. She explains that today's school libraries are about far more than books; they're about empowering students through multiple literacies that prepare them for the future. Shannon describes how the updated Future Ready Librarians Framework 3.0 reflects the evolving role of librarians as instructional leaders. She emphasizes that supporting students means going beyond reading literacy to include digital, media, and AI literacies. “We're not only making sure we're supporting our learners when it comes to using [AI] responsibly and ethically,” Shannon explains, “but also using it creatively.” A key message in this episode is the importance of ongoing dialogue between librarians and students, families, teachers, and the broader school community. As Shannon shares, libraries should be inclusive spaces that support curiosity, innovation, and collaboration. The modern library is a cornerstone for future-ready learning, serving as an engagement hub for makerspaces, student-led projects, and meaningful conversations about responsible tech use. As Shannon reminds us, “Just think of the impact [librarians] have—not only in books and literacy but also in that love of learning, and curiosity, and innovation.” Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.

Starring: Margaret Sullivan, and Jimmy Stewart. Budapest, 3 o'clock in the morning, and were looking for a thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck ("Twins") pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's Paul, Rachael, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. Rachael managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shop owner and his son... that's a different story altogether...nasty business, really. But, sure enough, we got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show. It's really just a nice holiday movie though. 12/9!****A member of the “Review Review,” family is in the fight of her life, you can help! - TAP/CLICK HEREMore with Rachael: Season 3 - Friday the 13thMore holidays:Season 2 - GremlinsSupport the show**All episodes contain explicit language**Artwork - Ben McFaddenReview Review Intro/Outro Theme - Jamie Henwood"What Are We Watching" & "Whatcha been up to?"

Classifying the Dictator's Collection: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts reports that Stalin hired Lenin's former librarian to organize his growing collection, creating a handwritten classification scheme that prioritized Marxist thinkers, surprisingly ranking his rival Trotsky highly on this reading list; the Bolsheviks seized control of publishing to manage public thought, while Stalin adopted an ex libris stamp to identify his personal books. 1930
