Episode 120: Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
Join us this week for an intense deep dive into one of the most harrowing stories in Native American/American history. The Osage Nation became the per capita richest people in the world for a period of time in the early 1900's. Soon after that wealth accumulated, the Osage people were targeted by a murderous conspiracy, of those who claimed to be their friends and family, that to this day remains mostly unsolved. 10's, if not 100's, of Osage were systematically murdered for their money and their rights to the mineral wealth that lay beneath their lands. David Grann takes us through their story of survival, and introduces us to some of the earliest agents of the FBI, during it's tumultuous formative years, as it scrambled to gain credibility and recognition. Let us know your thoughts on Grann's historical review of this saga that newspapers of the time dubbed the Reign of Terror.
AND! CONGRATULATIONS to Mattie and Parker!!!!! Don't forget, Next month's bookclub book is The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling. We will be back in 2 weeks for more book-talk! Until then, happy reading!

Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
On the first episode of Family Feud's newest spinoff, Parker and Brett duel it out on stage to see who knows books best. Or at least who knows what random people at the mall in Orlando, FL know about books. Thank you to our very own Steve Harvey, Daniel, for preparing, hosting, and producing (so you know who to send comments to) this wonderful spinoff. And obviously a huge shoutout and thank you to our overlords at Family Feud HQ for allowing this to happen without them knowing or signing off on it.

One, two, The Stinky Cheese Man is coming for you//three, four, better lock your door//five, six, grab your crucifix//seven, eight, gonna stay up late//nine, ten, never sleep again.
That poem cannot be found in any Shel Silverstein book, but now that you have recited it, he will come for you and us all. Some weird energy to start us off especially since this is an episode about children's books!! There is just one cursed section, but the rest is full of reminiscence and the joy of reading memories from our childhood. Let us know what you think of our picks and please send us your recommendations for children's books! We've got 2 dads looking for future content to share with their kids!
