Listen to Ted’s interview with Charles Ferguson on his book Presidential Seclusion: The Power of Camp David. Charles spent three and a half years at Camp David as Chaplain and Historian. His book is not about his experiences, but is a history of Camp David from its predecessor the U.S.S. Potomac, to establishment of Sangria-La, the change to Camp David, and presidential use through today. This is a chance to look behind the fences that are opened for few visitors.

Listen in as Lory and Ted talk with The Purr-usalers, the winning team from Sandymount Elementary School at the Finksburg Battle of the Books event at Winters Mill High School. Lory and Ted emcee this event every year. A bookish activity favorite.

It took a long time to get Maryland State Librarian and Two Sides friend, Morgan Miller, to sit down long enough to do an interview. There is no truth to the rumor that we duct taped her to the chair. To make it happen, Lory and Ted couldn’t both be there. Listen in as Ted talks with Morgan about her library career, being the Maryland State Librarian, libraries, reading, and more.
