Welcome to our Oranges & Peaches podcast! In our very first episode, hosts Hazlett and Ruby introduce the show (and explain why the heck we called a library podcast Oranges & Peaches!) and dig into one of our favorite library resources — digital newspaper archives!
Oranges & Peaches is recorded in the SOUND+VISION Studio, opens a new window at Lawrence Public Library. Thanks to Joel Bonner, opens a new window for composing our jingle and editing the show.
