Mistborn with Beka Castagna
Hello Libration Nation! This week’s episode features librarian Beka Castagna as we discuss her latest fantasy obsession, the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. Beka walks me through the premise of the book, its characters, and the series role as one of the biggest-name fantasy series on the market. We also discuss this Wired article, which was my entree into the insanely complicated world of who Brandon Sanderson is and what it’s like to be a Brandon Sanderson fan (did you know he lives in an underground castle?!)
The Exorcist with Matthew Knotts
Hello Libration Nation! This week horror film enthusiast Matthew Knotts is here to talk about one of his favorite books and films “The Exorcist” by William Peter Blatty. The episode touches equally with the film side of the story as well as the book and was delightful and hilarious to record.
For our drink we went with the Exorcist Cocktail from this website. The ingredients are:
3/4 oz of Lime Juice
1 1/2 oz of Tequila
3/4 oz of blue curacao liqueur
For ours we added a little grapefruit juice just to add a little flavor.
There is also a surprise drink twist about halfway through, you will have to listen to find out! Cheers!
