A LITTLE TOO QUIET: THE FERNDALE LIBRARY PODCAST

Divining: A Memoir in Trees by Maureen Dunphy

In sixteen essays, each named after a species of tree, Maureen Dunphy explores the nature of human-arboreal relationships, and how each of these trees has—literally—served as a friend, a confidante, or a place to rest. Find a link to Maureen's blog (discussed in this episode) on her website at: www.maureendunphy.com

Allegories: From Andor to Spirited Away

It's our 200th episode! Which...., we don't mention that during the actual episode because we only realized it after we'd finished recording. But please enjoy this literary discussion of effective allegories, particularly on our screens, be it movies or tv shows. 

Alma Katsu - Red London

This week, we're chatting with author Alma Katsu about Red London, the second installment in her new spy/thriller series following protagonist Lindsey Duncan. Katsu has firsthand experience working in the intelligence industry, so we talk about her transition from atmospheric horror novels like The Hunger, into the suspenseful terrain of John Le Carre.
