2024/07/19

I am deeply privileged and honored to have one of my favorite authors on the podcast today: Jennifer Mathieu. More than likely you know her from her 4th book that she published which Amy Poehler adapted to a fantastic Netflix film, Moxie. We spend some time discussing Moxie but we also chat about Bad Girls Never Say Die, and her upcoming adult deput novel The Faculty Lounge. There is a lot of fun educator talk in here as both me and Jennifer are educators and so we talk about all of the inside

Mike Herrera from MxPx

The Rudie Librarian ·

2023/08/29

Did I freak out a little internally (and maybe externally) to interview my all-time favorite band? Yes. Yes I did. If you don't know MxPx, you need to rectify that immediately. Start with their new album. In this episode I talk to Mike about the new album, transitioning from being a high school kid in a punk band to being a husband and father in one. I also bring up the old MxPx hot sauce.
