SHOW NOTES: TRANSCRIPT: In honor of my 20th year of podcasting on The Book of Life, I'm bringing you another episode from the archives: Summer Coolness, released in June 2007. The episode featured a now-defunct website called ReaderGirlz, and the website Nextbook that morphed into Tablet Magazine in 2009. There were also many mentions of MySpace. I interviewed Melissa Schorr, author of Goy Crazy, who, according to her website, seems to have mostly moved on from kidlit to journalism. I must say, her most recent book from 2017, Shame Nation: Choosing Kindness and Compassion in an Age of Cruelty and Trolling, looks extremely on point. And the episode featured the band Sababa, which happily is still in existence, and in fact, they've recently released their fourth album called When We Rise.  LEARN MORE: <ul data-pm-slice="3 3 []"> <li> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readergirlz" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ReaderGirlz history on Wikipedia</a>, and Guest <a href= "https://lorieanngrover.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lorie Ann Grover</a> </li> <li> Author <a href="https://www.melissaschorr.com/bio" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Melissa Schorr</a> and her book, <a href= "https://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/book/goy-crazy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Goy Crazy</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://sababamusic.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sababa website</a>, and Guest <a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/591349" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Scott Leader</a> </li> <li> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextbook#:~:text=The%20organization%20sponsors%20public%20lectures,publishes%20an%20online%20magazine%2C%20Tablet.&text=On%20June%209%2C%202009%2C%20Nextbook,from%20Nextbook%20to%20Tablet%20Magazine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nextbook history on Wikipedia</a>, and Guest <a href= "https://revsonfoundation.org/about/board-and-staff/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Julie Sandorf</a> </li> <li> Julie’s reading recommendations: o <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/2507/9780312424275" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Joy Comes in the Morning</a> by Jonathan Rosen o <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/2507/9780375726705" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Prisoners: A Story of Friendship and Terror</a> by Jeffrey Goldberg o <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/2507/9780547085920" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">When We Were Bad</a> by Charlotte Mendelson o <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/2507/9781501199660" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Disobedience</a> by Naomi Alderman </li> <li><a href= "https://open.substack.com/pub/bookoflifepodcast/p/august-throwback-summer-coolness?r=16b2w9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true"> Bonus content for this episode on The Book of Life's Substack Newsletter</a></li> </ul> CREDITS: <ul> <li>Produced by <a href="https://login.cbiboca.org/fcl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Feldman Children's Library</a> at <a href="https://www.cbiboca.org/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Congregation B'nai Israel</a></li> <li>Co-sponsored by the <a href= "https://jewishlibraries.org/">Association of Jewish Libraries</a></li> <li>Sister podcast: <a href= "https://jewishlibraries.org/nicejewishbooks/">Nice Jewish Books</a></li> <li>Theme Music: <a href= "https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2006/01/book-of-life-on-book-awards-january.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Freilachmakers Klezmer String Band</a></li> <li>Newsletter: <a href= "https://bookoflifepodcast.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">bookoflifepodcast.substack.com</a></li> <li>Facebook Discussion Group: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/JewishKidlitMavens" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish Kidlit Mavens</a></li> <li>Facebook Page: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/Bookoflifepodcast/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Facebook.com/bookoflifepodcast</a></li> <li>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bookoflifepodcast/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@bookoflifepodcast</a></li> <li>Support the Podcast: <a href= "https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/p/support.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shop or Donate</a></li> </ul> Your feedback is welcome!
