  • Have you seen these amazing pictures from deep space? You don't even need to be a stoner to appreciate them!
  • How the #gentleminions meme inspired teenagers to put on their best suits to attend screenings of 'Minions: The Rise of Gru.'
  • Thanks to teens, the new 'Minions' movie raked in $164 domestically on opening weekend. Theaters may not love the #gentleminions trend, but Universal sure does.
  • The #Millennial panel is split on Minions - are they cute or demonic?
  • Nextdoor Karens returns to the show, with some dramatic readings of Nextdoor posts in our areas.
  • Andrew shames a neighbor into deleting a 'Karen' post, and Pam plans some recon.
  • BAE Patron Becky joins us to discuss her career as a librarian!
  • With the increase in book bans, librarians are increasingly coming under fire. How can library patrons best support their local librarians?
  • We learn about the Library Bill of Rights, and that many libraries have detailed processes in place in the event that someone challenges a book.
  • What books and genres are especially popular now? Andrew wants to know so we can start a podcast.
  • Becky also runs a Disney blog, https://www.disneyinyourday.com. She shares the joys and challenges of working on a blog while also holding down her full-time gig. Becky also gives Andrew some sage advice about planning his next trip to Disney.

    • And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon:

    • Becky hangs around to share some library tea.
    • Some libraries seem to be doing away with the concept of late fees - does it work?
    • Customer service is always a rough job, even in a library. Stories are shared about disturbing Patrons. Also, how can Porn Viewing be handled?
