A Readers’ Advisory Podcast about becoming better library staff by reading every genre, whether we like them or not! Every month we read books from a new, randomly picked genre; then on the podcast we discuss our reading choices, experiences, opinions, appeal factors, and other related topics as friends and library workers.

It’s episode 227 and time for an emergency backup episode! This episode is the audio version of “Utterly Unfamiliar and Downright Detestable” a presentation we gave for the 2022 Ontario Library Association’s RA in a Day event. There’s also a video version on our YouTube channel.

You can download the podcast directly, find it on Libsyn, or get it through Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast delivery system.
