In the Stacks: The Library Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jen Weidner & Demond Thompson
Oral History Librarian Jen Weidner and cohost Demond Thompson entertain with stories about Southern Indiana and the goings-on in the local library.
Show Notes:
Jen interviewed author Bob Chenoweth about his book Naked as a Jaybird at the Moon Your Monna 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.

This episode continues the Oral History interviews, today Jen is sharing the stories of
1:04 Penny Holbrook Dowdell- class of 1966
26:44Jeanette Turk Burke- class of 1962, Joyce Hamilton Terrell- class of 1962
50:18 Rick Elliott- Class of 1967
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
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.

For the last interview for Pride Month (Yes, we understand we're late) Assistant Librarian Jen Weidner talks with Annalise Bassett, an amazing young adult that just finished her sophomore year at Hanover College.
They talk about her experience at a small liberal arts college in Southern Indiana and how LGBTQA+ students are treated there. They discuss her experience, challenges for LGBTQA+ students and more!
Also, since both work at libraries the conversation turns to book banning attempts targeting LGBTQA+ topics, and how do those attempts affect her community.
The library is decked out in rainbows! We hope everyone feels welcome, safe and included at the library.
We have a special guest today Dencil Brown (aka CC Davenport). I am so happy to have you here today. When we were told we couldn’t have an adult drag storytime at the library I knew I had to interview a drag queen, because why not!!

October is fire safety month. Jen talked to her friend and friend of the podcast Assistant Fire Chief Jason Sharp with the Jeffersonville Fire Department. Fire safety is something to be mindful of all year but especially in the cooler months when people start using space heaters and their fireplaces. We are in a drought and he reminds us to be extra cautious when having any fires outside. Remember to have a plan to get out of your house if there is a fire and have everyone living in the house practice the plan!
All blame goes to Demond for this coming out in November.

Book banning is on the rise in the United States and much of it is due to racism and homophobia. Some of it is due to people fearing the knowledge that books give people, especially children. Why else would people be so fearful of books that tell about diversity, inclusion and equality?

Jen is joined by Vincent Thomas to interview guests two members of the Juggernaut Jug Bad Roscoe Goose & Easy Mark
According to Tom Sobel the bands manager of sorts:
Roscoe is The World’s Greatest Living One Handed Washboard Player, & he only uses his left hand.
That way his right hand is free to pick up & play jug, harmonica, kazoo, trumpet, snare drum, nose flute…."
In all of his years with the band he’s only written one tune, The Jug Band Tango. What he’s lacked in quantity is made up by this tune's quality.
On the other hand, singer, guitar player & songwriter, Easy Mark constantly provides the band with a steady stream of new material.
What's a jug band is and where this type of music started?
How they describe the music?
How long has the Juggernaut Jug band been around?
With the same members? Or have some come and gone?
What got you interested in Jug music?
What does this music mean to you?
When can we hear you perform at the Library?
June 14 from 6-7 to raise awareness about our upcoming pocket park.

BeThe1To is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s message for National Suicide Prevention Month and beyond, spreading the word about actions we can all take to prevent suicide. The Lifeline network and its partners are working to change the conversation from suicide to suicide prevention, to actions that can promote healing, help and give hope. Together, we can prevent suicide by learning to help ourselves, help others, seek consultation from trained providers (hotlines and clinicians) and to seek hospital care when necessary. Learn about each step and why the steps are effective here.--
https://brenebrown.com/book/atlas-of-the-heart/
If we want to find the way back to ourselves and one another, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. In Atlas of the Heart, we explore eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human and walk through a new framework for cultivating meaningful connection. This is for the mapmakers and travelers in all of us.
