Lauren Smart talks about her Dallas Observer cover story on how Dallas libraries are striving to survive in a digital world. (Hint: A library podcast called Street View for downtown's homeless citizens. We're not kidding.) Next, workout culture — is all of the stuff distracting us from actually working out? And is our fixation on having the perfect body making us unhealthy? Dallas Morning News healthy living writer Leslie Garcia gives us answers. Finally, what’s the deal with craft beer? GuideLive.com's Tiney Ricciardi says Dallas is obsessed with homegrown brews and a new community is emerging as a result. News books (and more) editor Mike Merschel guest hosts.
