Books of the Week - August 9th, 2024

[@RyanLisbon]

How do these two scholars discussing books every week have so few subscribers? We laugh, we learn, we live, we lament, and leave as superior spirits. Thank you, great episode!

[@cplradio]

In actuality, any subscriber count over 20 feels like a miraculous gift. We're a tiny library tucked in an unobtrusive corner of the state of Wisconsin. We're just thrilled to have folks like you....yes YOU....stopping by!

@@cplradio I'm suspicious of any club that would have me. Came for Steve but stay for The Producer (don't tell Steve).

“Why are people watching this,” you ask. 30:24 For the Caddyshack references, of course. 😂

Great episode, even for you guys! This show is pure joy.

[@cplradio]

We guys appreciate your kind words!

Ah, my Friday is now complete ❤️ thanks like always for the banter gentlemen

[@cplradio]

And thanks to YOU for your kind words! If I could, I'd lay out one hell of a spread for all of you - including a jell-o mold and some sort of potato salad with an inordinate amount of mayonnaise.

New series to try sounds great!!

Hang on to your wigs n' keys - it's coming!

Love you guys! A good book about Evangelical extremism is "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism" by Tim Alberta.

I enjoy you both but there’s so much loud laughing… could we talk about books without trying to make it a comedy show? I come for the books… not you two laughing at each other.

Your critique is not wrong - but it seems predicated on the notion that Steve and I come at these shows with a "plan." We're two bookish blowhards who make tons of noise in a library - which is already problematic for many! The ghosts of past librarians are hovering over my shoulder during these recordings, violently "shushhhhing" me. What can ya' do? But we certainly appreciate your viewership, thank you!
