115. All About The Librarians with Kate Noble/Rorick, Plus Listener Mail

This week I am talking again with Kate Noble and Kate Rorick, conveniently the same person, about the upcoming tv show The Librarians. We talked about this during a podcast interview I did with her over the summer. So why am I bringing it up again?

Carrie recently sent me an article from Variety magazine that says the tv series, which premieres December 7, is going to be also premiering within days around the world. So everyone gets this show brand new at the same time. Yay!

So we talk about the show, the episodes she wrote, and also how success is judged when the way we watch tv constantly changes. I also answer listener mail about novellas and podcasts.

Holiday On Ice

This podcast is brought to you by InterMix, publisher of Holiday on Ice —an original holiday novella in the Play-By-Play series from New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton. Download it November 18th!

In this original holiday novella in the Play-By-Play series, New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton gives readers the gift of “plenty of romance, sexy men, hot steamy loving, and humor.” (Smexy Books)

Superstar hockey player Patrick “Trick” Niemeyer and dancer Stella Slovinski have picked up where they left off a year ago, resuming their hot, uncomplicated affair. Stella refuses to call it dating, or a relationship. But lately, Trick is looking for more…

Stella’s been burned before—in a relationship she never talks about—not with her family, not with her friends, and definitely not with Trick. But now it’s the holiday season and Trick is determined to give Stella his heart wrapped up in a bow. He knows Stella is the right woman for him, but he’ll have to melt the ice surrounding her heart to keep her from walking away.

Includes a preview of Jaci Burton’s QUARTERBACK DRAW and LOVE AFTER ALL.

    So many podcast recommendations!

    Like Sarah, I adore the PCHH guys (Gene and Kat are definitely excellent additions, as is Petra.)

    The bulk of my favourite podcasts are book related:

    Book Riot
    Bookrageous
    Books on the Nightstand
    Oh, Comics!
    Reading Lives

    Others are:

    Stuff Mom Never Told You
    On the Media

    Natually, DBSA is in there too. 🙂

  2. StarOpal says:

    I do data entry, so I listen to my podcasts at work.

    Audio books are too distracting for me to do while working, so I listen to a lot of old time radio, travel shows, and few interview shows.

    Currently I’ve been focusing on a series put together by the guy who runs The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio podcast called The War by Adam Graham. It’s covering America’s involvement in WWII through what was on the radio at the time. Going through the timeline, there’s a mix of news programs, music shows, drama, comedy, speeches, etc. It’s been really fascinating. Particularly the commercials, like I know rationing happened, but they’ve really been bringing home how much of a shortage on things there really was.

    Always love Welcome to Night Vale.

    For cooking you might want to check out How to Tour Italy. There’s a whole string of segments called “There’s No Such Thing As Italian Food,” that highlights that each region has its own dishes and styles of cooking or the local wines. It’s how I heard of Rosetta Costantino’s cookbook My Calabria.

    I find Rick Steves’ voice a little grating, but I give him another shot as I’m looking to replace one of my travel casts.

  3. Colorwheel says:

    I started listening to PCHH after a passing mention on DBSA a while back (when you did a PCHH-ish “guess which title / summary is made-up” quiz, I think), and I have been firmly hooked ever since. Belated thank you for that rec, because that show is just delightful.

    They’re both part of my rotation while sewing on weekends – DBSA, PCHH and Ask Me Another from NPR. It’s craft show crunch time, so I’ve recently supplemented those with (the?) Self Publishing Podcast, Science Friday, and StarTalk Radio (with Neil DeGrasse Tyson), as well as reconnecting with my love-it/hate-it old favorite the Savage Lovecast. And Welcome to Night Vale is “gather ’round and listen like it’s ’40s throwback radio hour” time with my husband.

    I’m happy about more book-related recs, though (thanks, @mischa!)

  4. Kaetrin says:

    I listen to the DBSA podcast and Destiny Romance’s Heart to Heart hosted by the marvellous Kat Mayo.

    Also, I enjoy Sawbones which is a show about the history of medicine and how badly people got things wrong in the past. It’s hosted by a husband/wife team. She is a doctor and he’s the comic relief. It’s usually very funny (occasionally sad) and always very interesting.

    We also listen to There’s No a Such a Thing As A Fish which is a podcast by the Qi Elves where the team of 4 Elves discuss their favourite fact of the previous 7 days and the Sleek Geeks podcast which is about science and numbers and is produced out of the University of Sydney.

    Finally, I listen to the Savage Lovecast hosted by Dan Savage where he gives sex advice. It’s usually eye-opening to say the least.

    If I find any more time to listen and don’t have an audiobook on the go, I also sometimes listen to Conversations with Richard Fiedler. He has a daily interview on the radio and the show is also available as a podcast. They’re fascinating and informative and very entertaining.

  5. catscatscats says:

    I like “Answer Me This!”.

  6. mischa says:

    You are welcome, @Colorwheel!

  7. Karin says:

    I love listening to “The Moth” stories, another series that comes from NPR. Also, The New Yorker:Out Loud, has various writers talking about the pieces they did for the magazine, or reviewing books, art, TV and movies. It’s a wide variety of topics so just about anyone can find something to her taste. Right now I’m listening to an episode from last year in which Jill Lepore talks about Jane Franklin(Ben’s sister).

  8. Melissa says:

    Podcasts I listen to other than DBSA:
    Anglofilles
    Stuff you missed in history class

    Looking through the comments, I think I am going to be adding some new stuff for my podcast feed!

  9. Kate says:

    Getting to this a little late, but Alton Brown’s podcast is a must-listen. I also like UnFictional, similar to TAL produced by a local public radio station in LA, and Joy the Baker, though they’re on hiatus while she is on a book tour.

  10. SB Sarah says:

    No such thing as too late — thank you for the recs!

  11. Christie says:

    The Sex Nerd Sandra podcast is fantastic! She interviews loads of interesting people about sex and communication and relationships–which are all things romance readers tend to be interested in. The podcast covers heterosexual vanilla topics as well as LGBT sexuality, kink, and sex work.

  12. Cory says:

    I listen to way more podcasts than I could list, but I think the ones I look forward the most besides PCHH and yours are Galactic Suburbia and The Writer and the Critic. Both are speculative fiction podcasts from Australia, and both have a lot of discussions from a feminist perspective. The Writer and the Critic discusses specific books, while Galactic Suburbia usually take on topics of the day, but both are great in my estimation 🙂

  13. Hai says:

    I also recommend the Alton Brown Cast, America’s Test Kitchen Radio, Joy the Baker, The Splendid Table, and The Suze Orman Show. I have a long commute so that’s when I do the bulk of my podcast listening.

    Has anyone suggested that you interview a librarian during an episode of the podcast? (When I first read this episode’s title I thought that that was this episode’s topic.) As an academic librarian, I think a public librarian could speak to ebooks, reader’s advisory, as well as big picture topics like how reading, publishing, and the library have changed in the past decade from a library perspective.
