Hey everyone, first post here after being a lurker for awhile. Thought I'd post this podcast for you guys since it's relevant to the discussion of books. It's from Boise State University's (where I graduated from and luckily work with now) Beyond the Blue program, a podcast series that focuses on various academics at the school.
