We started out wanting to address the recent-ish Forbes article recommending libraries be replaced with Amazon stores. This led into a discussion of skyrocketing rents and gentrification in Seattle. And somehow we got to talking about how I once made my mom smuggle a frog out of the library in her purse. (And yes, Mom, I realized after recording this that I named it "Leonard Green Frog" and not Kermit.) And then we realized we'd just accidentally launched a 5 or 100 part series about Amazon and its many tentacles.
