EPISODE 022 (222): Actual Conversations Heard in Actual Libraries


When one works in a library, one hears a lot of conversations. Often they arrive in person, often by phone and sometimes by second hand retellings of tales from fellow employees. When I heard a good one, I tried to write it down for use on the blog. Sometimes they were funny. Other times just odd. And occasionally they were downright terrifying. These are a few of my favorites.

EPISODE 26 (126): D-Con Kills Nerds Dead (BONUS ENCORE)

In honor of this being Dragon Con Weekend, here's an encore bonus of last year's Dragon Con-themed LiberryCAST

As you might have noticed, I'm an enormous nerd. Maybe not quite as nerdy as the Nerdist Podcast, but nerdy all the same. As such, I'm fond of heading out to nerd gatherings such as the infamous Dragon Con in Atlanta. In honor of this being Dragon Con weekend for 2011, I present some non-"liberry" tales of my D-Con experiences of the past decade. Included are encounters with gerbil-cleavaged sci-fi heroines; Annoying Brit Track Boy's near-death-experience at the hands of both the panel audience and the 5th Doctor Who; an awkward encounter with Biff from Back to the Future, Harlan Ellison laying verbal waste to one and all; and, as always, the guy that played Boomer in the 70s Battlestar Galactica.

EPISODE 021 (221): Annoying Greens of the Non-Horn Variety

Having last appeared in the Bad Mom's 2 Mother's Day Episode, Ms. Green was not a bad mom, per se, despite assisting her son with his homework projects a bit more than would be educationally healthy for him. She also distinguished herself by being one of our more exasperating patrons despite almost always being incredibly nice to us. The primary reason for the conflict between our personality types stemmed from her refusal to understand simple concepts requiring no explanation without us supplying triple-ply explanation. Well, that and her cell phone ringtone, which sounded like avian prison rape porn. (And let me just say, I look forward to the Google Keyword search terms that find THAT when I next check Statcounter.)

EPISODE 020 (220): Greenhorns 5: The Fall of the Queen


The day we hoped for and dreamed of had to eventually come: the day the Queen of the Eternal Newbie Greenhorns, Ms. S, left the employ of the "liberry." And when the day came, she went with barely a whimper, but a whole lot of whining.

What we didn't realize was the freeing her from the employ of the "liberry" freed her up for a new calling: fiction writer.

Also features the long sought-for 5th Grumpiest Old Man in All the World: William Shatner.

EPISODE 019 (219): Oranges and Lemons and Goat Wangs


8/8/12 THIS EPISODE HAS NOW BEEN RERECORDED TO ELIMINATE SHITTY AUDIO PROBLEMS FROM FIRST ATTEMPT. (I'm breaking in a new home studio, folks.)

A podcast over a year in the making featuring a cinematic theme. Yes, just in time for Catwoman's appearance in The Dark Knight Rises comes the second part of the much delayed Halle Berry's Catwoman Blows Goat Wang entry from nigh on a year back. Plus there are the touching tales of the best flat-footed mountain dancer and Elvis impersonator in the world (or at least our state) and why Star Wars Episode III made me cry. (Hint: It wasn't Hayden Christensen's acting, though it should have been.)
