If you’re looking for a show that packs in suplexes and
scavenger hunts in equal measure, you’re going to love this
episode! We kick things off in the ring—or actually, the
library—with the creators behind Lucha Libros, an innovative
program that brings the excitement of professional wrestling right
into your local library. Host Jed Doherty chats with Paul Val
Massey and Llama Jack, who share the story of how this
one-of-a-kind family-friendly wrestling show started as storytime,
evolved into body slams among the bookshelves, and became a vibrant
community event. You’ll hear about the joys, bumps, and unexpected
surprises (like special guest referees and audience members leaving
with new library cards), as well as the power of libraries to bring
people together and spark new interests.
Then, we pile everyone into the metaphorical minivan for some
good old-fashioned road trip fun with Brandon Clark, author of a
family road trip activity book. Brandon reminds us that the best
travel memories are made not with devices, but with laughter,
spirited car games, and genuine conversation. From license plate
bingo to “Would You Rather?” questions about roller coasters and
water slides, Brandon gives listeners tons of inspiration for
making every mile a story worth sharing. It’s an episode full of
joy, family, and creative ways to connect—whether you’re in the
backseat or ringside!
