  • Author Talk with Bob Chenoweth
    2023/08/28

    Show Notes:

    Jen interviewed author Bob Chenoweth about his book Naked as a Jaybird at the Moon-Your-Mama Bar & Grill. She highly recommends reading the book if you need a few laughs in your life.

    About the Author

    [Husband. Dad. Grandpa. Novelist. Writer. Designer. Artist. Full-frontal absurdist.] Bob Chenoweth is the award-winning author of Naked as a Jaybird at the Moon-Your-Mama Bar & Grill: A Novel of Full-Frontal Absurdity. Fittingly, Bob was born naked, and often returns to the state of undress (near his home in the state of Indiana.)

    After ghostwriting several highly rated books, Bob finally chose Naked as a Jaybird to put his name on. It should be no surprise, then, that Bob once shamelessly promoted his novel while wearing a hot dog costume. Strange man. Ask anyone.


    Where to find the book

  • More Oral Histories
    2023/08/01

    Back in 2020-2021 I had a grant from the Indiana Genealogical Society to do an oral history project gathering the stories from Jeffersonville High School graduates that attend the school from 1950-1970.  We shared a few of them last year but I thought it would be fun to share some more of them as school will be starting really soon around here. 


    I’m sharing the stories of 

    Dale Moss- class of 1971

    Richard Kincaid- class of 1966 

    David Hammett- class of 1963

  • Jess McAlister Small Town Librarian
    2023/07/11

    Jen sat down with Jess McAlister (they/them) a librarian at a small public library here in Indiana.

    They talk about their concern about having a Pride display or even having a LGBTQA+  section at their library.

    The DEI policy (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) at her library so if patrons complain about issues they have a policy to show patrons why things are the way they are, and how it can help


    Kindness matters as does representation! Please be kind and respectful to everyone at your local library. We are all just trying to live our lives and having books that represent all people and points of view are essential to a healthy and happy society. If Pride for some reason offends you please don’t be rude or hateful, just move along and find library material that is to your liking. Remember we all have the right to read and receive information no matter if you like it or not.
