About Us
Hi from Nic and Ally! In our conversations over the last year or so we both noticed that the other one is missing out on a lot of things they've just never tried--like how Ally has never seen any Indiana Jones movies. Each month we'll be pitching something for the other one to try, then talking about the experience on this podcast.
We both work at the David A. Howe Public Library, Nic as the Director, and Ally as the Teen Librarian. But we actually first met when Ally was a kid and took an acting class from Nic.

Ally's Tastes
Here are some things Ally already knows she likes: jazz music, Victorian literature, gardening, romantic comedies, any stories with witches, and salty snacks.

Nic's Tastes
Here are some things Nic already knows he likes: Jack Finney, Coca-Cola in glass bottles, Neil Simon, Eat My Dust (the Ron Howard movie), Elvis, and McCartney (Paul McCartney's debut solo album).
