About Good Librations - A Kiama Library Podcast

Welcome to the Good Librations podcast, an entertaining dive down the rabbit hole of all things books, reading, libraries and more. Discover how much you really do love poetry (who knew!?), why the book is always better than the movie (or is it?), and the allure of niche genres (yes, food-pun murder mysteries are a thing!).And, just because 45 mins of bookish fun is never enough, we'll have a new episode available every month (or so ...). Check this page or subscribe via Spotify, Google, Apple or wherever you find your podcasts. Presented by Kiama Library and hosted by Lauren Watkins and Carla James (and guests) Produced by Carla and Griffin James. Music by Lauren Watkins.
