Lost in the Stacks: the Research Library Rock'n'Roll Radio Show

Author: Charlie Bennett Language: English Episodes: 50
Tune into Lost in the Stacks: the Research Library Rock'n'Roll Radio Show, a weekly sonic adventure curated by host Charlie Bennett and a crew of librarians and archivists from the Georgia Tech Library. This isn't your average library tour; it's a live, freewheeling mix where scholarly curiosity meets a killer playlist. Each Friday, they land on a theme-something sprawling and connective like memory, failure, or maps-and then let the conversation and records spin. You'll hear deep-cut interviews with fascinating minds, candid shop talk about how knowledge is organized and preserved, and a meticulously chosen hour of music that echoes and expands the central idea. The result is a unique podcast that feels like the best kind of late-night hang in the stacks, blending the texture of archival work with the raw energy of rock'n'roll radio. It explores the unexpected intersections of society, culture, and the technology of information itself, all through a lens that is both deeply informed and genuinely playful. Listen for the connections you never saw coming, the stories tucked away in special collections, and the soundtrack that ties it all together.
