Short Stacks - Spooky Season

Starting up a new podcast, GPPL Welcomes Adam Pecar and Alexis Smith as they kick off the fall season with a new series called Short Stacks where they give quick (allegedly) reviews of materials that are recommended by the various librarians of Grosse Pointe Public Library.  

Welcome the New Crew in 2022

Introducing Adam and Stephanie to the podcast as Matt has moved on to another library. We discuss what we have been reading, watching, and thew new stuff coming to the library this fall.

April Snow Showers

This is a little late as I've been home with sick children. We talked about what's happening at the library over the spring and summer. Look forward to Books on the Lake and the annual Summer Reading Program.

 

We still haven't fulfilled each other's new years requests yet. There's still time though...

Welcome 2022

Annie catches Matt up on her year end challenge. Matt is given a challenge to a virtual art challenge using Creative Bug. Our progress will be tracked in the upcoming episodes.

 

It's a new year and we've been up to some stuff. Annie has been reading books and Matt has been watching anime. It doesn't feel like much has changed but, it has, trust me. 

 

We recorded this episode prior to the snowpocalypse of 2022. Which didn't happen quite how they expected it. As always, thanks for listening and hope you're off to a great new year.

Christmas Challenge 2021

Matt & Annie are back and this year we decide to challenge each other to do something they wouldn't normally do. 

I challenged Annie to watch an anime series I think she will enjoy. Annie will be giving me a challenge next episode.

Stay safe and have a good holiday and new year.

Welcome Stephanie

We have our new librarian, Stephanie, on the podcast. We talk about her career, her favorite kind of reads, and various other things.

The Haunting Of Central Branch

Matt & Annie return and discuss some spooky/scary stuff they've been doing and recommend. During the recording we were visited by the library ghosts. 

 

We talk more about Only Murders in the Building and Matt tries to convince Annie to watch Squid Game. Thanks for checking in with us we'll be back in a couple weeks.

The Return of Matt & Annie

We are back for Season 2 of Checking In! It was a long time away but we are happy to be back. We're hoping that this next "season" of the podcast is as exciting as the first. 

 

We're doing a back to school themed episode this week. Also included is fall, how COVID has changed work, and how we both turned towards more "comfort food" material during our time away.

 

Things that were brought up:

Only Murders Left in the Building 

Crying in H Mart - Michelle Zauner

 

The Tales We Carry

Annie has finally finished Harry Potter. We talk about that and other epic stories she can read next. We also discuss how new formats have changed storytelling and has added many new tales to the classics of old. We'll be back in July with our next episode. Remember to signup for summer reading if you haven't already.

No Longer Checked Out

Matt & Annie are finally back with another episode of Checking In. We catch each other up with what we've been doing and how things have been going this past pandemic year. We'll be back on a regular schedule moving forward so look forward to more episodes in the coming weeks.
