In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss preparing for onsite research, focusing on the critical importance of thorough locality research and detailed planning. They explore Nicole's contrasting experiences with Love County, Oklahoma, where she conducted comprehensive research into the county's 1907 creation from Chickasaw Nation, clerk responsibilities, and record locations, versus her rushed approach to Hardin County, Kentucky, which led to challenges with the Kentucky Department of Library and Archives' broad catalog system and difficulty pinpointing specific materials. Through these examples, they emphasize the necessity of understanding jurisdiction formation dates, previous jurisdictions, extant records, and repository catalog systems before visiting archives. The discussion concludes with strategies for creating focused research plans that incorporate specific objectives, timelines, and locality guides, with Nicole sharing how newspaper clues and established timelines guided her Love County deed and tax record searches, while noting how she would improve her Hardin County approach by first reviewing index volumes to better prioritize useful records for onsite research.

Accompanying us into this particular wonderland is Joseph Dance, host of the Curious Readers podcast.

And so listen in to hear what happens when two book podcasters get together to talk about their favourite topic.

Library Foundation board members have revived a beloved idea from 20 years ago—a literary-themed calendar—but with a timely new twist: celebrating the Right to Read. Mary Sanderson, Bette Ammon, and Ruth Pratt discuss the role of the Foundation and why this fundraiser is so important to the preservation of the library, as well as process of producing the calendar. The 16-month calendar highlights the Coeur d'Alene Public Library Foundation's dedication to protecting and defending intellectual freedom. Each month showcases a book that has been challenged over the years, paired with playful parodies featuring local community members, leaders, and celebrities. Thanks to the work of libraries and librarians, these titles remain available for “all kinds of books for all kinds of people.” The calendar begins September 2025. Fun, creative, and meaningful, the Right to Read Calendar is available for $35 at The Well-Read Moose, the Second Story Bookstore inside the library, or online at cdalibrary.org/about/library-foundation.

Censorship efforts at libraries nationwide has increased steadily over the last several years. In the 2023 - 24 school year, more than 10,000 book bans were counted in the country’s public schools. These efforts have become a cornerstone of a larger national debate over cultural influences and parents' rights to restrict those influences. LAist Orange County Correspondent Jill Replogle joins us to talk about how censorship efforts are playing out at the Huntington Beach library. We look at how the town’s conservative city council and residents are facing off over the council’s efforts to exert greater control over the library and how the choice to remove a few books from a library shelf can have far-reaching effects.

The Agents have been through a lot. They still have a lot to go. But, for now, they do get to focus and do the one thing they all love to do:Kill pirates.This campaign will touch on many themes, including genocide, slavery, racism, specism, harm to children, and mental health issues, among others. Listener discretion is advised.Agents of ALIS is based on the campaign framework Nagalisitu by Caleb Stokes, for Reign second edition by Greg Stolze. Reign 2E has been released in pdf and is available at Atomic Overmind, while the book with the information on Nagalisitu has not been released as of posting.

Author Peter Gribble discusses his new City of Magicians series. The first three books in the series—Threat, Within, and Quickening—are available now, and Peter is hard at work on books four through six. In this fantasy series, a society built on intellect and pacifism is forced to confront a brute-force barbarian invasion. Can the society survive? Peter's stories challenge the ideas of war, power and the control of knowledge as a weapon. He was inspired by his early childhood spent in France, where he was taught to never speak about WWII. This silence about the war and the practice of ignoring history's lessons unsettled him, and he decided to finally address it decades later by writing the City of Magicians series.
Host Natalie Draper talks with library staff about attending and presenting at library conferences, and later gets into library budgets and how they work.

Ussher MRIA, 1841-1913, and his connections to the National Museum, including a large collection of archived correspondence from Ussher to the curators and the hundreds of specimen donations that Ussher gave personally, or were given by his associates due to his encouragement. Richard John Ussher MRIA, 1841-1913, was a speleologist, ornithologist, and renowned Irish naturalist. He published lists of Irish birds, showing the species contained in the National Collection. These, alongside “The Birds of Ireland” (1900), co-authored with Warren, were important works in the history of Irish ornithology. He donated his archive collection to the Royal Irish Academy, and many specimens to the National Museum of Ireland - Natural History. Emma Murphy, Curator of Terrestrial Zoology at NMI – Natural History gave this lecture, exploring some of the stories, both funny and tragic, that can be found within Ussher's collections, and highlighting his enduring scientific legacy. This lecture was part of an programme of events relating to the Ussher Birds Notes collection, held in RIA Library. In 2024, the Library received funding from the Heritage Council as part of the Heritage Stewardship Fund for a project entitled, ‘The Birds of Ireland: Curating the Richard J. Ussher Collection at the Royal Irish Academy'. This project aimed to secure the long-term preservation, access, and discovery of material from the Ussher Bird Notes Collection through a programme of archival cataloguing, digitisation and outreach. The Ussher Bird Notes Digital Archive was launched in May 2025, and included digital images, with accompanying metadata, of 900 selected items from the collection. Detailed cataloguing of over 9000 items from the collection was also completed and researchers can contact library@ria.ie for more information about this listing. Thanks to a second tranche of funding from the Heritage Stewardship Fund, granted in 2025, the remainder of the Ussher Bird Notes Collection will be catalogued and more material will be added to the digital archive in due course.

Ron: Ron Murphy has been investigating the stuff of nightmares for over 30 years. He has investigated the things that go bump in the night and meticulously researched the historical and psychological context of myths and legends from around the world. Mr. Murphy seeks to uncover the archetypal precedent for the monsters that haunt our collective thoughts. Ann: Lady Ann Selene is an author, intuitive researcher, and host of The Caravan, Library of Lore podcast. From an early age, she has been immersed in paranormal experiences, which shaped her lifelong exploration of the unseen world. Her travels and investigations have taken her into haunted spaces, encounters with shadow entities, and explorations of psychic phenomena. Blending psychology with the paranormal, she approaches these mysteries as both an observer and healer, recognizing how our inner states can influence—and be influenced by—unexplained events. A Reiki Master and energy worker, she emphasizes the healing potential found in spiritual encounters and storytelling. Her book, Aperture in the Veil: Born Into a Preternatural World, is both memoir and reflection, offering insight into how paranormal experiences intertwine with personal growth and the human psyche. Through her writing and broadcasting, Lady Ann invites others to consider the veil between worlds as a place of both mystery and transformation.

Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.
