This is the twelfth episode of Library Pizza, a podcast about reading hosted by the guy writing this: Mike Meginnis.

This week, Tracy Rae Bowling and I discussed how insane this year is already making us feel, our experiences with various youth programs, and the different kinds of reading resolutions that we might consider. The following are the links to the articles from which we borrowed the resolutions:

This is the eleventh episode of Library Pizza, a podcast about reading hosted by the guy writing this: Mike Meginnis.

For this week's Personal Pan Holiday Special, I decided to do something a little bit different, sharing with you an essay that I wrote about my time as a writer in residence in South Korea, plus a guide that I wrote for others who participate in the residency in the future. I hope you enjoy both, and I'll see you next year.
