The Librarian Is In

Peyton DisPlaced (Rebroadcast)

Listen Later

Another crossover episode with our fine friends from the Overdue podcast! Frank and Gwen join Craig and Andrew in Philadelphia to discuss the 1956 novel Peyton Place. Is it a classic? A soap opera? A groundbreaking statement about sexuality? Is it "ripe, hotly passionate, but fickle" — the first line of the book? You decide.
