Creators and Guests

Dennis Penner
Host
Dennis Penner
Dennis works in the ideaMILL and while he prefers mysteries and non-fiction, he’s open to reading almost anything. He’s also the editor/producer, so he can edit the show to make himself sound smarter than he really is.
Toby Cygman
Host
Toby Cygman
Toby is an Outreach Librarian and recovering book snob. She mostly reads literary fiction but has been known to dabble in non-fiction and the genres.
Trevor Lockhart
Host
Trevor Lockhart
Trevor is the Branch Head of the Louis Riel library. He tends to be a slow reader but a fast talker, so it all evens out.
