Hey, everybody, what you're about to hear is a sample of our live recording at Powell's last week.

If you are a member of the Patreon, it's already there. Can listen to the whole thing.

If not, this is a taste and an inducement to see if you'll consider joining the Patreon as a paid member.

It really means a lot to us.

We get a good motivation to try stuff out,

keep the community growing, and subsidize a lot of what we do here on the podcast. You can find us patreon.com slash be our podcast. You can just search bookwryb podcast if you want to do that.

Live in the room audio, audio here sounds better than our antidote, I'd say,

still moves around a little bit. In the full episode, you get all of my and Rebecca's picks.

You also hear my kids at the end, some live Q&A with the audience, joking around and having a really

good time. Towards the end, the mic starts moving around the room, and you may have to strain a little bit to hear, but I thought it would include all that

audio. Again, this is on the Patreon feed for the full audio, for those that want to hear it.

Thanks to everyone who came out or sent someone, recommended a show to us. It means a great deal.

We had enough fun that we're going to be thinking about doing some more in various places. So podcast at bookwriot.com, if that's the kind of thing you'd be interested in,

in maybe New York in the fall, maybe Portland again. I don't know. We're not a huge enough show

we can get anyone in any necessarily city to come, but we're going to think about it. So

appreciate you all listening, subscribing, sharing, and letting us do this all the time. Okay, here we go.

I guess we're going to do this now, all right? This is the Bookerite podcast. I'm Jeff O'Neill.

I'm Rebecca Schinsky. And we're coming to from Pals in Portland, Oregon. You know that AI generated applause sounds so real.

It's really good stuff at this point.

So for those of you listening at home, we are live at pals.

We have so many friendly faces and people who are so warmly invited us today.

Here's how the night is going to work.
