   S11E02 - Ghosts and Daisies

   S11E02 – Ghosts and Daisies Join us for our FunDrive episode, featuring previous member of Shout for Libraries, Dan Hackborn from UBC, as well as an interview with Brandi Morpurgo from Daisy Chain Books. We spent time with Dan to talk about his time with the show – what they loved, what they wished they had done, and anything else that stuck with them – and where they are now in their careers. Brandi indulged us in the world of bookstores, and second hand books, in Edmonton AB and how they (check pronouns) have gotten to where they are.
