You probably know that we run a couple of podcasts here:

So, yeah – we are big fans of podcasts! They can be such a good way to share ideas with your community.

Each week we are going to share a podcast from a library, or looking at books, so you can join us in expanding podcast community and admiring the work others are doing to share cool info!

This week we are admiring the work done by the Professional Book Nerds podcast! @ProBookNerds

Their Twitter bio is: “Book recommendations, author interviews, and more from some nerds in the literary world. Tweets by @Jill_Grun & @SocksCLE. Presented by Rakuten OverDrive.”

Yes! THAT Overdrive!! The place where so many of my beloved audio books live!!

From their website: “We’re not just book nerds, we’re Professional Book Nerds® (PBN) who work at OverDrive, the industry-leading app for eBooks and audiobooks through your local library and school.

With over 1 million downloads, readers and librarians turn to the PBN team for weekly expert book recommendations, author interviews and all things books.

The Professional Book Nerds podcast is available through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Radio FM and anywhere people download their podcasts.”
