We kick things off in the ring—or actually, the library—with the creators behind Lucha Libros, an innovative program that brings the excitement of professional wrestling right into your local library. Host Jed Doherty chats with Paul Val Massey and Llama Jack, who share the story of how this one-of-a-kind family-friendly wrestling show started as storytime, evolved into body slams among the bookshelves, and became a vibrant community event. You'll hear about the joys, bumps, and unexpected surprises (like special guest referees and audience members leaving with new library cards), as well as the power of libraries to bring people together and spark new interests. Then, we pile everyone into the metaphorical minivan for some good old-fashioned road trip fun with Brandon Clark, author of a family road trip activity book. Brandon reminds us that the best travel memories are made not with devices, but with laughter, spirited car games, and genuine conversation. From license plate bingo to "Would You Rather?" questions about roller coasters and water slides, Brandon gives listeners tons of inspiration for making every mile a story worth sharing. It's an episode full of joy, family, and creative ways to connect—whether you're in the backseat or ringside!
