We began recording
episodes of The All the Books Show back in August of 2015 as a way to
highlight the library collection and services. Shortly after, it was added to
the schedule for the Angelica County Radio Station (where the current iteration
still airs Wednesdays at 4pm). In 2016, we were awarded the Best Use of Social
Media Award from STLS for our use of SoundCloud and other social media apps in
conjunction with the podcast. After Eric Mikols (who served as Head of Youth
Services from 2015-2020) moved on, the podcast began a new life as Howe's
Things with an increase on author interviews and special guests. Then in
2023 Ally Fesmire (Youth Librarian 2021-Present) joined the show, which became ButHave You Tried, where she and I trade off trying new things like ukulele,
needle point, cooking, and more!
Since its inception
the David A. Howe Library podcast has had approximately 100k listens! You can
find back episodes on YouTube or any podcast app. It has been a great way to
share unique things about the library and its collections. And we've had a lot of fun doing it.
To celebrate the
tenth year, we have a special episode where Eric and I recreate the original
show to discuss the best books since 2020. Thanks for Listening!
