Episode Synopsis

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a pair of children's books for insect-lovers: Spi-Ku: A Clutter of Short Verse on Eight Legs and Bugs by master balloon artist Masayoshi Matsumoto (who you can also check out on Instagram). ​Terri's random recommendation is the flavored coffee sampler from Grounds & Hounds. If you hate flavored coffee, skip this one. But if you don't, you'll find the flavors tasty and the presentation gift-worthy.In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2019 on holiday requirements (hint: we have very few).Next week's lineup:Lost S4 E6, "The Other Woman," on Tuesday, December 9The Lowdown S1 E4, "Short on Cowboys," on Wednesday, December 10Weekly roundup on Thursday, December 11Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.​This episode was recorded in front of a live audience ... of dogs.
