WE'RE DOOMED  Dr. Rachel Levine, a pediatric psychiatrist who has fathered multiple children and decided that he is a woman, is second in command at the department of Health and Human services. Is that crazy enough?    Dr. Levine says climate change is more damaging to blacks and he has a plan to help. Donna Jackson, Director of Membership Development for Project 21 Black Leadership Network, says, no thanks - the more the Biden administration tries to help, the worse things get.    There's a bipartisan bill working it's way through the California legislature that requires menstrual products in all girls and BOYS bathrooms beginning in the third grade. Sophia Lorey of the California Family Council says it's just one more attempt to “erase women.”   According to a story in the New York Post, men with “babygirl vibes” are what GenZ women are looking for. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark interviews John Chrastka, the executive director of EveryLibrary, the first nationwide political action committee for libraries, and the EveryLibrary Institute, a nonprofit research and training organization focused on the future of library funding.  Prior to the interview, Mark shares a personal update, reads comments from recent episodes, and says a word about this episode's sponsor. This episode is sponsored by An Author's Guide to Working with Libraries and Bookstores. You can get the book online, order it through your local bookstore, or ask for it as your local library. Universal Book Link Smashwords Link (Coupon Discount for Feb/March 2024) In the interview, Mark and John talk about: John starting off his career in publishing as a bookseller in a small neighborhood Chicago community bookstore, and how that led to becoming a publishing sales rep Migrating over to the Ed-Tech realm as the internet came around Moving on over to The American Library Association from there What EveryLibrary is: a 501(c)(4) organization that is a political action committee for libraries How it's more of a network than a membership that is about 330,000 people strong Telling stories about how libraries are solutions to problems for people and librarians as enactors of those solutions In about 37 states, public libraries actually have to go to election days to get their funding secured The four different ways that voters stratify: Believers - People who love the library and have a relationship with their library (25%) Questioners Suspicious Voters Never Gonna Vote for you Never (22 to 25%) The answer for people who question the value of a local library because they "don't do books" How the library as a source for reading grew from 19% to 24% during the pandemic and the way that percentage is continue to hold in 2024 The way that the isolating of society is not just a library issue but a public health issue The popularity of book banning in the United States in recent years and the fact that it's easier to censor a book than it is to attack a person or a population How this censorship and book banning isn't merely a matter of freedom of speech issue, but a matter of human rights The pernicious nature of using the term "obscenity" and "obscene" to criminalize particular pupulations and to help skirt around First Amendment rights How libraries are an affordable way to put tax dollars to good use in the way they provide so much to their local communities The multiple pathways they have to help people move from "aware" to "active" And more . . . After the interview Mark reflects on how books are being banned and censored as an underhanded way to strike at specific demographics and populations, and the value in focusing on the "Suspicious Voters" as a brilliant strategy.

  There are folks who enjoy the outdoors, and there are others who live for the outdoors. I know many folks believe they belong in that second category, but in my opinion its reserved for a select few. If I am being honest with myself I am probably more likely to fall in the first category than the first. However, I was able to speak with one of the few men that I believe belong in that second category exclusively. I was able to catch up with Sean Curran and discuss his public land turkey hunt from the 2018 spring turkey season and it did not disappoint. In addition to be a fantastic story-teller, and dedicated outdoorsman, Sean took his passion to he next level when he began working for the Sportsman's Alliance. Sean is the Vice President of Membership & Development at Sportsmen's Alliance, and we touched on that organization and the benefit it provides to the outdoor community. Please be sure to check out the Sportsmens Alliance at www.sportsmensalliance.org and consider joinging.
