Doctorow is a science fiction writer, an activist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the author of “Ensh...

Fuse 8 n' KateEpisode 326 - Tooth - Gnasher SuperflashBy gum, if there's one thing this children's literature podcast needs, it's more Reading Rainbow books from the days of yore. And if that's something we need to go out and find, then surely we will. We were inspired to give this particular book a go after Betsy saw the model of its vehicle on display at Kansas City's The Rabbit Hole. In this episode we discuss the prevalence of the same "a" sound, why this has a Popemobile top, xenomorphs, and extra car features that create duplicate children.

It was also inspired by the books I read about other kids and their adventures. My vision for the Shelton’s Cove series is that Hattie’s narrative will be told in a series of short stories about him, and his family, Shep, and other friends, including one of whom we’ll meet t...

In Discrete Mathematics with Ducks (Second Edition; CRC Press, 2018), dr. sarah-marie belcastro has reimagined both course and text. The book is written in an accessible and lighthearted style yet covers the full breadth of conventional topics and several more besides: Early chapters include much valuable advice on how to read, do, and write mathematics—essential points of reference for the mathematically inexperienced or di...

Fuse 8 n' KateEpisode 111 - The Big Orange SplotIt seemed like it would be a pretty safe bet that Kate wouldn't have heard of this week's book. A little 1977 beauty it is.
