Polyamorous Witch Librarian Who Also Wor...

Chris Gethard
About this episode

Does what it says on the tin. Gethard talks to a polyamorous witch librarian who once worked the front desk at a brothel, surprisingly perfect training for library life. They get into the realities of coven community, late-discovered neurodivergence, leaving a faith tradition, and why public libraries are such vital spaces, now more than ever. It's wide-ranging but never scattered. More like a life filed neatly into sections by someone who knows how to organize a catalog.
