Podcast discussion
The public is invited to the Marathon City Branch Public Library to listen to and discuss a popular National Public Radio podcast on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 4-5 p.m.
Similar to a book club group, people will meet for a friendly and informal discussion about a popular podcast. In November, the group will
discuss an episode from the NPR podcast “How To Do Everything.” This is a humorous question-and-answer show hosted by Mike Danforth and Ian Chillag, the producers of the NPR program “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” You do not need to listen to the podcast ahead of time; the episode is about 10-15 minutes long and the group will begin by listening to that together.
The event is free and open to the public with no registration required. Call the Marathon City Branch at 715-443- 2775 for more information.
