Hi, everybody. Welcome to the librarian is in the New York Public Library's podcast about books, culture, and what to read next. I'm Gwen.

I'm hot. Yeah. It's hot out. In so many ways.

Oh, there I go. Screaming into the mic again.

I'm sorry, producer.

I'll try to behave.

It's very warm, but that's good.

We always complain about the weather.

It's just human nature.

But we're here to, but we're here to discuss books, culture, and what to read next.

Yes, we are.

Oh, we should say, or I'd like to say, that as we've promoted our phone line, that people can call and leave us messages, we have gotten a couple calls, and we are going to get to

them and answer them, some of them, maybe in our 100th episode, which is approaching,

which is sort of exciting. But I just want to mention that Mona from Virginia, Kim from Clifton

Park, Judy B from San Francisco and Victoria, all leftist messages. And they were really cool

and very interesting. So we just want to give a little shout out to those listeners. And thank you so

much for leaving a message for us. A lot of stuff there. Book wrecks they gave us. Comments about

some of the podcast. And it's just so fun to hear your voices. I really, really like it. And yeah,

I'm also really excited for the 100th episode where we're going to play some clips and stuff. So you can

feel free to ask us things. You can ask us book things or not book things, just stuff, something that maybe you've always wanted to know about the podcast or Frank's wardrobe. I just found out that Frank wears shorts, which kind of surprised me for some reason. Why wouldn't I? You just don't strike me as a shorts guy. I don't know. And flip-flops.

Yeah, okay. I mean, now that I'm thinking about it, I can picture it.

But yeah, so anyway, you can ask about Frank's wardrobe. You can ask about anything that you have always wanted to know. You can offer us bookwrecks. We love to hear your recommendations.

It's really, really fun. So anything you want, and maybe we'll be able to
