Welcome to our last, lost episode of 2023! Well, not lost but a bit buried which seems sort of fitting for the year - anyone else feel that way about 2023? Speaking of lost, we talk about a lost album plus the humorous side of murder, and inclusivity in the books we’re loving.

Each episode we talk about books we're reading, things we're loving, and library advice we're giving! Reba is the Waltham High School Librarian and she poses an intriguing question to us that has plagued librarians for ages … what is historical fiction anyway? And why does it matter?

Welcome to Episode 19 of This Podcast is Overdue with April and Christi. Each episode we talk about books we're reading, things we're loving, and library advice we're giving! What does freedom really look like? What happens when your life, your future, is not really yours to control … is your liberty rusted? (Sorry, we took some liberties with the title … pun intended!). Many of our topics in this episode explore this theme in some way or another whether it’s the freedom to be who you are or who you’d like to be or freedom from patriarchy, harassment, and oppression. Listen in to hear our thoughts on the readability of different texts and what we’re watching this summer! New! We have transcripts!

Happy Birthday to This Podcast is Overdue! In this episode April and Christi celebrate one year since the podcast first launched and of course cake is involved. We talk about not one, not two, but three books written by amazing women. Their books speak to personal power by telling their stories, speaking up even when it’s tough, and literally having women turning into dragons! If all that excitement keeps you up at night, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with a snoozy suggestion - listen beyond the credits for a special surprise!
