Writing Process, Financial Literacy, and Popular Music
Episode 32
Saturday, 31 August, 2019
Writing Process Behind every book there is a writer responsible for all the little details, world building and characterization that are loved by many. Every writer has their own unique process to complete such a feat. Rachel loves talking to authors about what their individual path and process is. So she's in the studio today with author Sharlee Glenn to talk about her writer’s journey. Storytime Libraries are known for their storytimes and we are too. Each week at around 15 minutes past the hour, tune in to hear book reviews or live readings of picture books or poetry. Today we have Joella Peterson reviewing the picture book "The Princess and the Warrior" by Duncan Tonatiuh. Financial Literacy Understanding money and finances is an essential tool for being an adult. While children learn many different things in school as they grow up, financial literacy is not often emphasized or in some cases even taught. Today Rachel is on the phone with financial literacy expert, Gregg Murset. Popular Music Music classes vary from school to school. Some may focus more on learning musical instruments, while others spend more time on music theory. But no matter what type of music class, current popular music is not often seen. Today we have Brittany May, a music education professor, in the studio. Libarians' Table Today we are around the librarians' table with Andy Spackman, and Lety Camacho, business librarians here at BYU. They are here to share their individual experiences parenting their reading children.
