Sinopsis

In the Stacks with Barry & LaToya was a loosely library-related show that now further showcases the viewpoints on news, entertainment, books, and other issues by former Twin Lakes Library System Director and Assistant Director, Barry Reese and LaToya Davidson-Perez. Each show features a little bit of everything from general discussion to games and entertainment.

Episodios

  • Latter Day Barry

    12/07/2025 Duración: 50min

    Conversation flows casually enough. Barry’s barbaric dentist is ruining his mouth, and instead of seeing another dentist, he doubles down on the one he is in literal debt to. Also, for all you Blackpink fans, a new single is out, and an album release is just around the corner. Robbie Williams may (and should) be knighted. And LaToya is now a Costco regular. But the show takes an unexpected veer off the highway when Barry discusses the Book of Mormon and his interest in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. LaToya reacts with no filter, being deliriously tired from the excessive Georgia heat and general long-term lack of sleep.

  • Make America Okay Again

    14/06/2025 Duración: 01h06min

    This episode is a mix of this and that. T’Challa hangs out with the hosts for a bit. He’s all grown up after having attended his college orientation. Father’s Day is this weekend, but with sixty-six cents in his bank account, Barry and T’Challa will be celebrating at home. Barry teaches summer school and discusses what it’s like, as well as the preparations for the new school year. LaToya is emerging from under her “no news” rock just in time for talk about immigration, deportation, and the Gold Cup with a flavor of no more kings.

    Barry has rushed home from his duties at this year’s high school graduation. Mind you, the show is two weeks past due. Talk soon turns to holiday plans and dental work. Barry introduces LaToya to #blackfatigue, you know, since she lives under a rock. He also reminds listeners that LaToya is a crappy BFF, and she’s only interested in reality television, so she doesn’t have to think.

    19/04/2025 Duración: 01h42min

    Barry and LaToya have both recently gone down the reality TV rabbit hole, but one is more consumed by it than the other. This is LaToya’s first episode since her cancer surgery. She also outs her husband’s weird new birthday tradition. Barry provides more detail about having complete control over his intellectual property. T’Challa will graduate from high school in one month (student loans are the devil). Lastly, both gentlemen are excited about an upcoming Ghost ritual.

  • Burn After Reading

    15/03/2025 Duración: 01h44min

    Guess who finally read To Kill a Mockingbird? It’s not who you think. Casey Anthony is back in the zeitgeist. Barry talks about his inner black self and the transgender community. LaToya admits that she isn’t black enough and that her Panama Canal cruise was a bit of a bust. What is this country coming to? Is no news good news? And, is Love Blind? Find out this and more on this episode.

  • It Is What It Is

    08/02/2025 Duración: 01h25min

    Barry is rip-roaringly ready to dive into the show. He has the Super Bowl on his mind and is prepared to make predictions. Before that, LaToya blathers about her trip to the Lego Store, reading, and upcoming cruises. She also buries the lead when it comes to her recent cancer diagnosis. Inevitably, all roads lead to talking about Trump. He’s been in office for less than a month, and we’re all unnerved.

  • 11 Years Later

    11/01/2025 Duración: 01h36min

    Welcome to 2025. Barry is ready and prepped for the show. LaToya, not so much. She’s already running late in the New Year. Discussion on the first episode of the season varies from horror flicks to Robbie Williams, to Star Trek’s lost episode, and AP versus IB. The discussion takes a very sharp turn when they discuss a special anniversary that happened this week. More than a decade later, the hosts deep dive into why they left Georgia public libraries for good.

  • Goodbye to 2024

    14/12/2024 Duración: 01h46min

LaToya teases that the start of season 15 may bring a new way to enjoy the show.

  • Beauty in Words

    16/11/2024 Duración: 01h42min

    Barry and LaToya decide to do a “quick” show before the Tyson v. Paul fight. At least, that was the plan. Talk turns to the fight, the disappointing US presidential election, and the new Robbie Williams upcoming biopic, “Better Man.” After completing his 7th book in the unpublished series, Dark Society, Barry considers what it would be like to have AI write a novel in his writing style. Also, LaToya’s brother and his best friend have a brand new podcast on YouTube called “Doors Open Podcast.” Did we inspire them? Most definitely.

  • Can You See Her?

    12/10/2024 Duración: 01h20min

    Barry is frustrated. So much so that he will have to get an ice cream cone from the new ice cream shop in town. That’s what happens when you don’t watch Netflix and chill. T’Challa makes a cameo before heading off to do teenage things. The old comic shop the hosts patronized is about to be gone with the wind. The election is right around the corner, and the hosts share who they will vote for. No shockers there. We have a new Tumblr account, and this two-year season will conclude in December. Plus, AI has become a major topic of discussion.

    28/09/2024 Duración: 01h16min

    Barry has more mouths to feed. No, he doesn’t have more children but now has two new cats besides his OG. LaToya’s guilty pleasure is Love Island (not the US version because what’s exotic about American accents?!). She also has 20 email accounts, more than any five people may need. Barry has a new book out, is looking forward to his upcoming semester break, and shares his thoughts on RDJ’s new role in the MCU. Plus, our website has been refreshed.

    10/08/2024 Duración: 01h06min

    Barry thinks that LaToya is bailing on doing the show. She’s not. With no T’Challa, will the hosts behave themselves? This fun-filled episode includes talk of pussy… cats, get your minds out of the gutter. They discuss LaToya’s hectic past two days, and of course, now that Barry is back in school, he spills the tea on what it’s really like as a high school teacher this year. Is he too old for this? According to him, he’s got another twenty years of living and then death.

  • No Political Talk

    13/07/2024 Duración: 01h25min

    Barry says he doesn’t want a political conversation, but he does. LaToya, who has an injured back, laments about getting old.

T’Challa makes a cameo appearance and zips away for more exciting things to do.

    And they’re back. Or are they? After an unplanned 17-month absence the gang is back together. The three amigos have quite a bit to catch up on. There’ve been surgeries and near-death experiences over the break. Barry is excited at the prospect of resuming the show while LaToya, well, she’s not yet sold on the idea. Plus, T’Challa asks a headscratcher of a final question to close out the show.

  • Discovery of New Frontiers

    14/01/2023 Duración: 01h18min

    It’s two weeks into the New Year, and the hosts feel 2023 will be a good year. LaToya does a lot of talking in this episode, as she’s had a lot happen between recordings. Barry is also in good spirits. The second quarter of the school year has been very good for him. Students appear actually to want to learn. T’Challa is excited about a new D&D campaign he’s in and questions the hosts about their favorite Sci-Fi trope. And, of course, there is a lot of television to talk about.

  • Festivus for the Rest of Us

    10/12/2022 Duración: 01h09min

    After an unplanned one-month absence, they’re back. Barry is excited about the New Year and new students while LaToya is ready to hurl herself across the finish line of 2022. T’Challa, super cool as always, does have a question to ask the hosts, and the answer is not Die Hard. Count how many times the hosts try to wrap up the episode.

  • Out of Many, One People

    08/10/2022 Duración: 01h19min

    What starts as a run-of-the-mill conversation turns into much more. Barry, LaToya, and T’Challa spent their mornings before recording the show watching very different things. True to their style, they share it with their listeners. Talk of entertainment turns to talk about sports, and finally, after T’Challa’s insightful question for the hosts, talk turns to people, culture, and equality.

  • Bed & Breakfast: Gone With The Wind

    10/09/2022 Duración: 01h15min

    Television and movies. If you’re wondering what the hosts have been watching and doing, this show is all about it. Barry continues to write and watch plenty of TV, LaToya is oblivious and distracted, and T’Challa, at sixteen years of age, remains super cool and aloof. With no final question prepared, T’Challa scrambles to find one. Learn about everyone’s favorite movies as well as the movie that they walked out on.

  • School Daze: Pill Popper

    13/08/2022 Duración: 01h29min

    The entire gang is back together, and they’ve missed each other. The runtime on this episode is on par with what it was like in the early days of the show. To think, we’re only three shows into the 15th season. As they catch up conversation turns to school and what it was like in the old days. T’Challa brings his unique view to what it’s like to be a school student in today’s classrooms. Barry is flustered with many of his students, and LaToya is reminded why she would never be a school teacher. Plus, LaToya is now packing heat and getting old with a larger-sized daily pill organizer.

    17/07/2022 Duración: 01h24min

    Without T’Challa, the hosts are left to their own devices. Barry has been enjoying the leisure of his summer break while LaToya burns the midnight oil. According to Barry, he has one more week of freedom before donning his teacher cape. LaToya is hunkered down in her office, working on an emergency project. While Barry continues watching television, going to the movies, and writing, his co-host says no to more than an hour of screen time. Check out what they think of Thor: Love & Thunder and their take on the rumors of what’s in store for Black Panther 2.
