Hello and welcome to the librarianist in, the New York Public Library's podcast about books,

culture, and what to read next. I'm Frank. And I'm Rhonda. Are you, honey? Yes, I am. I'm Rhonda. I'm Ronda. You sounded so

masterpiece theater right there when you were introducing us. I don't know, it's a little

different tone. I like it. Well, whenever the producer says, like, okay, we're recording,

I go in like a million different directions.

I'm like, should I be a goofball?

Should I?

And I actually, because I'm sort of like the announcer now, I get, I don't know, I just get

I try to be articulate, which I couldn't be articulate with that word, but I try to, I don't know, I don't know.

I don't know. It was good. It was a nice introduction. It was very smooth. Well, as opposed to what,

my ragged into different directions. You know, like you said, you have a little different vibe.

Sometimes it's more animated. Sometimes it's a little more, you know, but this time it was a, like I said, a little

masterpiece theater.

I like how you mix it up.

Oh, well, thanks for noticing.

No problem.

My attempts at humor and conviviality.

So I'm not even going to ask how you are because I don't care.

Oh, wow.

No, I don't, it's not.

I'm just worried and I don't know.

I don't know.
