It’s our Humour Month and we finally found a Leacock award nominee that made Kirt very happy (and, more importantly, made him laugh)! We hope that you also enjoyed the book and that you will enjoy listening to us talk about it. We talk about a bunch of other stuff that you’ll probably find interesting too (including the hilarity of being mistaken for a white supremacist podcast). So, take a listen, friends.
We’d also like to remind you that we are now entering our Graphic Novel Month and our pick for this go-around is The Outside Circle by Patti Laboucane-Benson and Kelly Mellings. Get it. Read it. Join us for our discussion.

I’m glad you finally found a book to make you laugh! I read The Woefield Poultry Collective a couple of years ago, and thought it was really funny. I’m hoping to read this one sometime soon, but it’s going to have to wait a bit longer. I’m curious to know if it’s as good as the first one!
