If you've listened to the last season of this podcast, you'll know that my husband lost his job here in Hong Kong and with two kids and two sets of student loan debt, we have to be a two income household. Paying $2400 US for our 600 sq ft flat doesn't help either. But we were hopeful, optimistic. We believe that after 10 years of working for the same company, it was time for David to find something new, something better, that this was a chance to flex these skills elsewhere. That was back in March. And here we are in September. And 6 months of rejections has really taken its toll on us, on him. So with the money we have left and our daughters by our side, we prepare to leave. Loose Change was produced and hosted by me. The music featured on this episode was created by Underbelly, Birocratic, and Otis MacDonald and the segment intro was mixed by me. A special thank you to Emmanuella for letting me cry on the phone until I could create this episode and my uncle Alex for encouraging me with the music. For full transcripts and cover art, please visit loosechangepodcast.com/episodes This episode was a little different than what I told you was coming for the new season, but I hope you understand the circumstances.

This episode of Library Bytegeist is all about collectors and keepers. The people who go through life gathering and capturing and saving things. First up, we have a short story by Sarah Esocoff about Collector’s Night in NYC (minute 2:38 - 9:56). Then, we have an interview Nikki Silva, one half of a radio duo known as the Kitchen Sisters (minute 10:40 - 38:18). The Kitchen Sisters have produced hundreds of stories for NPR and other public radio programs. In this interview, Nikki breaks down how she and Davia Nelson find and use archival audio, and how they became accidental archivists in the process.

Before you use a yoni egg, listen to this. In this one, Ev'Yan chats with her friend, Danielle Cornelius (daniellecornelius.com), a chiropractor and holistic pelvic care practitioner, who specializes in the health and healing of the pelvis. They talk all about the importance of taking care of this part of the body and how its wellness is an important part of sexual pleasure and liberation. Danielle also educates us about yoni eggs and why you should think twice before using one (spoiler: you're probably using it wrong).Other things they discuss: demystifying and desexualizing the vagina; kegels; releasing tension (and trauma) from the vagina via internal massage; and how to become more aware of this part of the body that's been historically dishonored.For show notes + a transcription of this episode: http://bit.ly/slw-ep28-Like The Sexually Liberated Woman?

The Dewey Decimal System is the most popular library classification system in the world. It was created by a man, named Melvil Dewey, in the late 1870's. And Dewey's system of classifying knowledge reflects his worldview as a white man living in the late 19th century. In this episode of Library Bytegeist, we break down the Dewey Decimal System and talk frankly about the power and pitfalls of classifying. We'll visit the Bard High School Early College in Queens to find out about how students there are planning to rebel from the Dewey Decimal System, and talk to Greg Cotton (Cornell College), Barbara Fister (Gustavus Adolphus College), and Dorothy Berry (Umbra Search Project).

GitHub is a great tool for collaborating and providing access to content -- which makes it a great tool for libraries and archives! Dinah Handel (NYPL) and Ethan Gates (NYU) taught an introductory GitHub workshop at METRO on August 2, 2017. This is a supplementary episode about what they covered in their workshop.

Brandy McNeil is the Associate Director for Technology Education at the New York Public Library. Over 100,000 New Yorkers come through their TechConnect classes in 89 branch libraries across Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We talk to Brandy about how she has expanded the program to include advanced computer programming classes as part of Project Code, and how these classes changed the life of Vera Zago, who quit her job to become a full-stack engineer. CORRECTION: The woman who donated her first paycheck back to NYPL had participate in TechConnect's office classes, not Project Code.

Public libraries are important access points to the internet. But sometimes people use library computers to engage in activities that are controversial activities for public spaces, like watching pornography. We sat down with Rob Caluori, the Director of Information Technology for the Westchester Library System, to talk about the techniques libraries use to provide open, secure, and safe access to the internet.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! This one is an A-1 doozy. Steph and A.C. talk about Drakes new album (spoiler alert: they kinda of unimpressed). They discuss whether Drake should act more and A.C. wonders about how Jimmy from Degrassi got laid whilst wheelchair bound. The logistics alone still confuses him. As more and more music festivals begin to pop up in Austin, they discuss the line-ups. Also, Steph pushes the time limit and A.C. over the edge of sanity. TOP 20!!! TOP 20!!! TOP 20!!! Started from the Bottom, Now...we're almost there. Why are all the songs on this one so sexy to A.C.? Also they also threaten Childish Gambino! But in the nicest possible way.Follow us on Twitter: @STTCPodcastFollow us on Facebook: @ShotThrutheChartEmail us ShotThrutheChart@Gmail.comIntro and Outro Music: Otis McMusic by Otis MacDonald

Enjoy your secret shows then: Get Out!Stephanie criticizes 90's filming and make up techniques in music videos and A.C. desperately fights to keep her on mostly on topic. If you've listened to past shows, you know he won't. Do black moms still wanna hook up with Bobby Brown?

Ho ho boy everybody! A.C. and Steph are talking about the bane of the Austin commuter: SXSW! They talk about the anticipated headliners and how awesome (or not awesome) they are. They aren't sure who the Avett Brothers are but like them also, they have no idea who else is in the A$AP Mob (except A$AP Rocky). A.C. gets freaked out by a version of It Takes Two that isn't by Rob Base and Steph ponder's if her dad was a member of German rap group SNAP! Not included in the episode, but always good thinking: whose singing mouth habits confuse you more? Taylor Dayne, or Ariana Grande.Follow us on Twitter: @STTCPodcastFollow us on Facebook: @ShotThrutheChartEmail us ShotThrutheChat@Gmail.comIntro and Outro Music: Otis McMusic by Otis MacDonald

In this episode, Molly talks with Dr. Shannon Mattern about New York City's LinkNYC program and the troubles it has faced in trying to provide public access to the internet on the city streets. The discussion revolves around how involving librarians and archivists in the planning process could bring some wisdom to smart city developments.
